How many absentees still need to be tallied?

This is closer than I had realized. 1600 is a lot of votes in MT, though.

I think it depends on the absentee ballots. Are these military people? Maybe Burns can make up ground.

I hate to say it, but I think we lost the senate. I hope I am wrong. I would love to hold on to at least one of the two seats to keep control of the Senate, but the odds are not in our favor with the data that is out there right now.

I'm pissed at BUSH.
He LETS the main stream media totally distort his message and says NOTHING about achievements in Iraq or anywhere else. It was a clean sweep for Demoncrats. They're about there telling all kinds of lies and distortions and the sheeple believe it because they hear NOTHING ELSE from BUSH.
Bush can call a news conference any time he wants. Bush can rip those lies and distortions apart any time he wants. He didn't. He thought he was too good for that. He thought he could just ignore them and thumb his nose at them while toting the book, Liberal Bias under his arm. It didn't work. You have to FIGHT BACK. NOW, we get to literally suffer the consequences.

Can the old dinosaur pull it out??Not likely. From conservative in nyc on the election thread:
Yellowstone County supposedly counted the absentee ballots before counting other ballots and is now 100% reporting per CNN. I'm not sure how it worked in other places, but unless Burns' people are correct, he ain't winning.
There also seems to be some turnout discrepancy in certain areas - Gallatin, Lake and Yellowstone Counties have higher turnout than in 2000, yet many other counties do not, and the vote tally statewide lags. Whether this is because they haven't counted absentees or simply because more people voted in those areas is not clear.
I've yo-yoed on this race all day - at one point, it looked impossible for Burns win. Then, the extrapolations were looking good. Now, it looks downright impossible that he'd win unless the absentee votes are actually out and are from Republican-leaning areas. I'm NOT optimistic.

"The House passed an Internet gambling ban earlier this summer, but the bill had difficulty moving in the Senate. However it was a priority of Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, and attaching it to the popular port security bill appeared aimed at insuring its passage."
Thank you, Bill Frist.

I disagree. Bush was excellent on the stump and in his press conferences manhandling the pressitutes recently. Cheney and Rummy too, btw. But Frist? hastert? A slew of GOP candidates hiding from the Iraq war, unsure of how to "distance" themselves from the media created "quagmire". It was ugly.

I don't know how I can put it any clearer.
Bill Frist is a snake-in-the-grass and I say "good riddance."

You nailed it my friend.

Well, that sounds less than encouraging. Say hello to Senate Majority Leader Reid. *uhg*
