Reminds me rather of Tim Johnson (D-SD)'s Senate victory in 2002 over Thune. Thune was up in the polls slightly with all or nearly all precincts counted ... and then suddenly thousands of Johnson votes magically appeared from reservations, with an even higher-than-last-time Democratic voting rate therein. Those ballots put Johnson over Thune.
In retrospect, aren't you glad that Thune got the opportunity to run again this year!
No more Daschle for the Dems. It is almost as sweet as Bush winning.
