I hope someone is monitoring Daschle's phone right now. He is probably trying to make a deal with the Chief for a new casino in exchange for another thousand votes.

>>I find it very strange that the county which favors Johnson the strongest is the last county to report its results<<

But, how could they know how many votes they had to manufacture until the end?

Its ok... we still have LA and WILL beat the stuffing out of Mary Landrieu there on Dec. 7th. That will be so nice. I'll no longer have to hear Hannity describe her as a moderate in interviews (she has an American Conservative Union life rating of 14--no moderate in my book).

The Senate GOP did *NOTHING* when the Democrats stole a senate seat away from Woody Jenkins in 1996.

One reason it takes them so long is that they do not have their own election officials.

Officials from other counties have to count the Shannon County ballots after they finish with their own.

LOL. Get this, guys! If the remaining precincts are the same size as the ones already reported, and if the margin in the remaining precincts is the same as it was for the whole county in which the precinct is located, then Johnson nets a total 772 votes. Leaving Thune with a lead of about 120 votes.

Wheeee!

Oh, yes. I've hated Whitey ever since impeachment. And I would have hated him before that, but that was the first I heard of him.

I find it very strange that the county which favors Johnson the strongest is the last county to report its results.

You are sounding scarily like the posters on DU. If you want a hoot, check in there, or check the "live thread" last night, around post 3300-3700...

There is no mystery with this particular setup. These areas of SD are remote, and backward by any measure. It really is to be expected that they are late to report. In addition, there was a computer breakdown during last evening which halted the tabulation of some SD areas. It required sending to Nebraska for spare parts.

The slowness is explainable. Nevertheless,...

Recount is certain, as is a continuance of the fraud investigations there.
