The state's first Senate runoff since 1992 had big national implications.

If Jim Martin had managed to win, it would've put the Democrats one step closer to a 60 vote super majority in the Senate.

That could've stopped the Republicans from using a filibuster to block votes on legislation.

But with the runoff results, that's no longer a possibility, and both sides are now coming together.

As Jim Martin conceded, and Saxby Chambliss congratulated him on a hard-fought campaign, It was a diplomatic end to four months of nasty campaigning.

In the end, the race captured national attention and brought in a lot of star power: a final chance for voters to decide just how much control the Democrats will have in Washington.

"You have delivered a message that a balance of government in Washington is necessary," Chambliss said after winning the seat.

It's too soon to tell how well Senator Chambliss will work with President Obama, but on the morning of the runoff he gave an early indication.

"I've always been one to work across the aisle," he said. "If the President-elect comes forward with initiatives that are good for Georgia, I'm going to work with him."

We still don't know the full makeup of the next Senate.

The Minnesota race between Republican Senator Norm Coleman and Democratic challenger Al Franken is locked in a recount battle.

Coleman is currently leading by a couple hundred votes with both sides challenging thousands of ballots.
