Before we get too excited, Burns likely needs a cushion of I don't know how many votes, because Yellowstone County - according to ABC/Associated Press, yet to be counted - has gone to Tester.
But my source for this is not solid; it's a post in NRO's Corner Blog: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MzFhMjhlNDNlNWRkMWY4NWExOWM2MjgxZjBiODdjYmE=
Yellowstone is, according to the Montana Secretary of State, being counted again - for some reason.
I'm cautiously optimistic. Burns led in the county last time and, looking at what's left to come in, I think that if he ties or better, he wins the seat (and we keep the Senate).
Before we get too excited........
LOL
I worked a 16 hour day, 10 of which were following the election, and now I'm trying to 'relax'. No one is going to get excited. I'm praying for not being too depressed at this point.

Was that before or after the Montana SoS pulled the Yellowstone numbers from their website? There seems to be some problem going on there with the vote count.
