Buerkle lead appears insurmountable (NY House race about to tip)
The Auburn Citizen ^ | November 20, 2010 | Robert Harding

With only Wayne County left to count absentees in the 25th Congressional District, it’s Ann Marie Buerkle’s race to lose.

The final count of absentee ballots in Onondaga County gave incumbent Democrat Dan Maffei 3,571 votes and Buerkle 3,014.

Buerkle campaign spokeswoman Liza Lowery said Buerkle also picked up 144 votes after recanvassing in Wayne County.

With the additional votes from Onondaga and Wayne counties, Buerkle leads Maffei by 411 votes.

In a statement, Lowery argued that there is no way Maffei can win.

It’s only a matter of time. A Buerkle victory would give Republicans a pickup of 62 House seats.

Good news, that would be the 63rd House seat pickup. Real Clear Politics shows the Buerkle Maffei race as undecided.

Check about halfway down the webpage here.

Include North Carolina 2nd district. Renee Ellmers(R) won it in recount.

Buerkle makes 63. I believe this will be the final number. Altschuler is losing absentees steadily, even in districts where he won handily on Election Day.

Seven in New York includes Randy Altschuler, who’s outcome is very much in doubt. Nearly all the GOP gains in New York have been upstate, with only Michael Grimm and Randy Altschuler in the NYC metropolitan area.

Some people can see intent from mispillings or thypos and just move on...

Of course, that's true, but misspellings and irregular grammar take something away from an attempt to state a case for or against the matter at issue. It tends to indicate one is uneducated or--or, worse--indifferent to the English language. In any case, it's a sloppy approach to explaining a person's case or position.

Oops, too many placement of “or” in that little paragraph. That was sloppy of the OP.

It’s also hard for that person to make the case for an English-only policy.
