Georgia's Republican party appeared poised at midnight to win all of Georgia's statewide races, take control of the U.S. House and make strong gains in the U.S. Senate.

One incumbent Democratic congressman from Macon, Jim Marshall, was ousted. Another, Sanford Bishop, has apparently survived but by a narrow margin.

“This is not an election,” said GOP Georgia chairwoman Sue Everhart. “This is a restraining order against Barack Obama.”

Here are the Lamar Co. results - all precincts reporting.

Milner City Council

Jody Alford 26

Bridget Fouts 42

State House District 125

David Gault (D) 822

Susan Holmes (R) 503

State House District 136

Sharon Howard (D) 56

Tony Sellier (R) 227

Thanks for breaking down the districts. When you posted the early results they were so skewed to the Democratic candidates I was just curious.

Thank God that arrognat roy barnes didn't get back in.

We didn't forget how he blatantly ignored the will of the people last time he was in.

It just amazes me that he had the amount of support that he did. How soon folks forget.

Three steps forward and now two steps back.

No Barnes, no increased tag tax.

Now, we need to turn our attention to our local collection of idiots. The county commission and sheriff need to go.

I guess you will be the biggest idiot of all when your dumb butt is lying on the side of the road needing medical assistance and there will not be anybody to come for you. Do your homework. I'd rather be an idiot with trauma care than an ignorant fool.

No matter how many trama centers we have.We may not get to one. We only have one ambulance at a time in Lamar Co.Maybe they will take you first since you voted yes!

I'm sorry. Amendment 2. No 3,363. Yes 1,036.
