How I imagine and hope...final numbers in November:

Thune - 50.1%
Dashole 49.9%

While I would love to see a creamation, a close race would piss him off more.

I'd like there to be enough breathing room in the results that daschle cannot mount a time-wasting challenge to the vote. I don't want his replacement having to be kept out of the Senate for one nanosecond because tommy can mount a semi-credible challenge of vote fraud or question of any stripe.

Same for the Bush-Cheney smack-down of Lurch and Opie.
