Bummer. Thousands of votes remain uncounted, and I’m not even talking disenfranchised soldiers.

It never occured to Al Franken to concede. He hung in there until the last votes were counted (and recounted and recounted) and now he's a US Senator. NEVER, EVER conceed defeat...

Exactly. Hoffman should have held on until noon Wednesday at the earliest. Let the dust really settle.

Bill Owens Dem. 62,662 49.2%
Doug Hoffman Con. 57,572 45.2
Dede Scozzafava Rep. 7,041 5.5

92% reporting he’s down 5090

I agree w/you!! He should have waiting until every last vote was counted.

I agree that maybe he should have waited until tomorrow or Thursday for more absentees to be counted, but remember that he doesn’t have the resources of a Party behind him to help fund a recount or legal fight.
