Obama’s coattails appear to be pretty weak.

I think Obama is going to implode. Him coming out with a huge spending plan at this time is not going to play well especially if the GOP doesn’t their job in opposing it loudly. One can not spend themselves out of debt.

Does the Fleming race have an auto recount?

356 is about the same as Coleman’s margin in MN, isn’t it. Wonder if Carmouche will telephone Franken for advice on a recount.

No automatic recount; Carmouche must request it. And he pays if he loses the recount.
