Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.
Smart.
More of Fergus coming in.. at 69%
Burns 2,379 65% 69% of precincts reporting
Tester 1,199 32%
Jones 103 3%
More of Republican-leaning Fergus County reported. Burns is now on track to pick up 3,327 and win by over 1,200.
Some people are Losertarians because they want drugs legalized; others are Losertarians because of financial issues - taxes, spending, etc., and are business owners. Even though the GOP has been spending big, many of those Losertarians would have voted their pocketbooks anyway and voted GOP in order to at least keep taxes down and the economy going. I know this for a fact, having been a member of that party myself for several years, and always voted GOP, along with a lot of others in the party. The GOP lost quite a bit of the Losertarian conservatives this cycle, but had there been no Losertarian candidate, they would have picked up some votes there - most likely enough to put Burns over the top, by the look of the vote tallies.
Smart man. He must have gone to a good college.
I didn't sell mine but I am a dripper, so lower stock prices means more shares bought, however if the economy tanks and my dividends go down the I am truly goona get burnt for awhile.
I should have, but was hoping for the best. Now, timing sales will be tricky.
Fergus is good for another 500-600 pick up.
The tough one to figure out is Meagher which has 0% reporting, anybody has any history of Meagher from 2004?
That sure would make staying up worth it.
Are you telling me that Burns is going to win tonight and we will keep the Senate?
Well at least in Montana there are probably just as many ballots being manufactured for Burns as for Tester, so we still have a chance...lol. It looks like they used the old Seattle Vote Count against Allen in certain counties in Virginia. Allen suddenly lost a 19,000 lead right at the end.
Burns took Meagher handily in 2000 ... 625-267.
No reason to think he won't perform well there this year either.
If form holds in those precincts, which is a reasonably good assumption but not a guarantee by any means. But yes there is a chance.
I actually agree totally. But who would that be? Is there a Republican out there with Reagan's vision and ideals that can beat Hillary in '08?
Maybe. IF current trends in Yellowstone County in particular continue, yes. But the trends need to continue.
Yes!! It is starting to look like Conrad Burns is going to save the day. Or at least the Senate half of it.
It's tiny. Only 1000 voted in 2004, but they went overwhelmingly Republican.
That's a good sign. We stole it fair and square and we ain't givin it back.
From an earlier post:
"Meagher (0% in) - Burns won this in 2000 67-29 (+358")
