By my linear extrapolation, Burns is on pace to pick up a net 2,247 votes. He's down by 3,619. He needs to pick up more in Yellowstone.

The goal is to stop the person from leaving the party in the first place.

Preferably by stopping the party from leaving him!

Not necessarily. There are some people who would vote even if there was only one candidate!!!

How? If he wasn't running, the republican wouldn't have gotten those votes anyway.

Correcting for Cascade, Burns is now on pace to pick up about 3,053 votes, putting him about 600 short. He needs a better showing in Yellowstone.

There's some hope here though.

SOS has Burns down by 3,500 without Beaverhead's numbers in the mix (+1200)

Jon Tester Stan Jones Conrad Burns Total Votes
149993 7793 146474 304260

We might just pull this one out.

A better showing in Gallatin would help, too.

the senate is not in the bag yet, not by a longshot.

Yep...sounds like someone hasn't noted the totals on the uncalled races

He is now 51-47 in Yellostone, with 36% reporting. That translates to about 1,100 net votes. This is going to be really close.

"Actually, such a person helps the Republican"

Why because he might have voted for the Democrat? Hmmm I am looking for logic here and I must be missing it.

Your philosophy boils down to blaming others for lack of loyalty to your cause.

Sorry but that is the very antithesis of the philosophy one needs to win.

And, alas, there's an obvious (but not very humanitarian) solution in Iraq. Get out of the way, and like the Shiites massacre the Sunnis. That'll settle things down, and quick, too.

If you mean "cut and run, let the Iraqis sort it out" --- no, if we do that, then Iran will be over the border to help their fellow Shia shortly after we leave.

Just upping and leaving definitely won't settle tensions in Iraq or in the region.
