And to think Harry came within about 400 votes of getting defeated in 1998! Oh if only the GOP had been on the upswing that year. John Ensign would have beaten him. I had forgotten too that Pat Leahy was very lucky to escape a really close call in 1980. He won by less than 2% that year, I think. Imagine, we wouldn't have had to deal with him these past 26 years.
I still don't understand why the pubbies and Ensign didn't challenge the election. If I remember correctly, Reid didn't take the lead until the last box or so.
