Exactly!

$10 says Daschle has or will work over Chaffee.

[mwl1]

Yes, absolutely, they will sue in Minnesota.

[nopardons]

GOD help me, FOX AND FRIENDS is on ; I should be fast asleep. Anyway, they just said that " PEARL HARBOR DAY " ( Dec. 7th. ), probably won't be a good one for Landru. LOL

GOPers have way more money than the Dims. So don't worry on that account.:-)

[Factfinder]

OK, so what is the holdup on the "newsmedia" declaring this one?

(Preaching to the choir, I know. But heck, it's late/early...)

[perform_to_strangers]

Yes, you're right. It just seems like gravy compared to my earlier dreadful expectations. We need these two, and LA, too.

[Charles Henrickson]

Mary got less than 50%, at least 3-4 points less, I think. The other candidates were all Pubs. Put their votes together for one candidate, and you do the math.

[Cold Heat]

does anyone have a feel for how Louisiana will play out?

Most likely a republican win, assuming the northern and central parishes turn out. If they leave it to New Orleans, the Rats will prevail.

[The Great Satan]

Seems to me, if it's close, Bush can probably swing with a few personal appearances. It's not like he's going to be spread thin. So, I'm guessing LA will be another pickup.

[Letitring]

It's nice to meet you and I'm glad to hear you say that. Maybe there is hope.

[Darlin']

WOW. 91% of the precincts reporting... that is looking real good.

Even with the precincts out in Shannon they should be the less populated communities on the reservation and the vote totals should not amount to much even with 90% going to Johnson. Someone else mentioned a re-count. That will happen for certain, plus don't forget the on going state and federal investigation on numerous cases of voter registration fraud on the reservations by Dem activists, one of which as already been indicted. IMHO, if Thune ends with 1000 plus margin he will be in the Senate seat when the dust settles. But of course it is just my humble opinion.

My turn.

[Wphile]

Oh, Seattle is pathetic! I was really hoping we could knock somebody off although I was pretty sure it wouldn't be McDermott, unfortunately.

You should come over to the East Side of the state...much better over here.

Any word on Mannix in Oregon? It would be totally cool if Oregon elected a Republican governor!

[Spyder]

I read a post earlier from a Libertarian that he would vote Republican until the only two major parties were Republican and Libertarian. I liked that post. I have Libertarian leanings myself, but can't reconcile to their immigration or defense positions.

[perform_to_strangers]

Me, too! Saying the rosary for victory. Now I'd better include everyone who stayed up all night to witness it, too. :-)

[cherry]

thune lead at 1798...with 14 davison prec. still to come in as well as about 10 others.....cross your fingers

[Straight Vermonter]

If Coleman hits 50% its pretty much over.

[truth_seeker]

How do the actual election results compare to various final polls?

Lately Zogby has been held as the "best" since they were closest in 2000. It seems most polls in recent days predicted no change in the Senate.

So overall, is it correct that polls were too optimistic for the dems? Maybe they will need to adjust for Republican secret sauce in the future, to be more accurate.

[bigaln2]

The gap between counted "regular" ballots and counted supplemental ballots continues to decrease.

Right now, the gap is 369,758.

This means that in addition to the 8-10% of ballots that need to be counted, election judges (they are very wonderful public servants) still need to hand-count 369,758 ballots in the Senate race.

[mwl1]

Chafee ain't going anywhere. He will get perks, and no one bolts to go into the minority. Also, he has witnessed first hand what Jeffords has wrought for himself. You dance with those who brung you.
