Incumbent Republican Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss won re-election yesterday, defeating Democratic candidate Jim Martin.
Martin's defeat, which was widely expected, put an end to the hopes of the Democrats holding of a 'super-majority' in the Senate, at least for the time being.

It would have enabled them to pass legislation without Republican support. He also explains the importance of yesterday's Georgia vote.
