'''[[Senator]] Saxby Chambliss''', born November 10, 1943 (age {{age|1943|11|10}}), is the senior senator from the state of [[Georgia]].  A [[Republican]], he has been in the Senate since 2002, when he defeated [[Democrat]] [[Max Cleland]] to gain the seat.  His short tenure makes Chambliss part of a very new Georgia delegation, his colleague being [[Johnny Isakson]], a fellow Republican, and a former colleague when both were in the [[House of Representatives]], as well.

Chambliss was successful in holding off his liberal and democratic Jim Martin, keeping the filibuster in the balance.  Saxby Chambliss backs many [[Conservative]] principals, he is strictly pro-life, does not support gay marriage, and supports small government.
