Ok, but it looks as if the final difference is 528 votes, so it's up to Thune...

Part of me wants him to go to court, but common sense tells me that he should take the high road and request the recount...

This will be a tough decision to make. If he goes to court, he'll really be made to look like the bad guy. Since the massive litigations expected all across the country aren't going to happen, all the focus would be on Thune, and I suspect the Democrats and their media cronies would channel their anger and disappointment into ripping this man apart.
