I refuse to go to bed until I see the final numbers on these two races. We already got the Senate, but this is the icing on our cake!

In a state like South Dakota, how many votes could a recount swing in either direction? It can't be much.

Also, I would think it wouldn't be in the Democrats best interest to push too much of an investigation. They're already in hot water over the fraud on the reservations.

Right, I want to be sure maggots like Jeffords are completely marginalized and consigned to obscurity. I want +2, +3, +4.

We need both of these so it'll be 52-47-1 and we don't have to worry about Jeffords becoming a Dem and Chafee switching to Dem and then there'll be no worries about Louisiana. We get these two and it's our Senate free and clear with no sucking up to Chafee and no holding our breath about Louisiana. Then Louisiana would simply be icing on the cake if Republicans in Louisiana unite to beat the Dem there which is possible since the 3 Republicans added up to more than what Landrieu got.
