Yes and will definitely add to our majority next month in LA.

[patriciaruth]

There is no way a Democrat takes 85% of the vote in any district that isn't fixed.

The Dems are taking the Indian reservation precincts by 91%.

No, Virginia, there is no Indian Santa Claus.

[comebacknewt]

You could be right. I've been up all night. My calculations are probably not as reliable now as they were earlier.

I was hoping to see this thing resolved, but I need some sleep.

[MHT]

Not alot of people can complain that it is only "800" if that does turn out to be the margin of victory. It's a small state and Dasshole said that voter turnout was 75%!

[goldstategop]

They haven't improved to Saddam's record of 100% of the vote but they are getting there. Its weird. ;-)

[Fury]

Great points. Yes, SD has their documented problems of earlier in October and that can certainly be the basis for closer scrutiny in the SD elections.

[AppyPappy]

What if Torch sues for the seat?

[Congressman Billybob]

The Editors at Hotline know their stuff. If the absentee ballots have not been counted in S.D., then Thune has it. The vast majority of the absentees will trend to Thune (as all absentees do trend Republican, other than those cast by dead or insane voters).

To change the subject, in Vermont if no one gets 50% of the vote statewide, the election is thrown into the legislature. Republicans led but did not get 50% for Governor and other top offices. But the legislature there is, I understand, splpit between the Republicans and the Democrats. How are they going to sort out that mess?

Looks like SurveyUSA did well in Oklahoma.

[KQQL]

So, which seats in the house are still up in the air...
CO7, what else.......

Grucci(NY1) is a moron, his stupid ad cost him his seat........

BARR missed out winning GA 11............he should have never run in GA7 against LINDER...

GA races : Upset of the election 2002........I knew
GA senate was in the making, but Queen BArnes,,oh wow

BEST POLLS OF THE YEAR>...GALLUP in senate races

P>S SurveyUSA did o.k in CO, CA,AZ, OK, RI,TN

The good news is that we have the Senate. This is gravy.

Coach: "Dammit son, we are here to win, not eat!!".

[patriciaruth]

We obviously should stop hiding the truth about the Democrats from the African-Americans and the native Americans, as they seem to rack up 91-92% voting records among those ignorant of the American Way.

[ambrose]

Well, there is some fear that the Dems have a lot of absentees from the reservations. The Hotline talking head said SD election official will be checking each absentee against the voter rolls to make sure no one voted twice (in person and absentee). We probably won't know the final result here for a couple of weeks.

[Moose4]

The Dems are taking the Indian reservation precincts by 91%.

I expect McLoser's on the phone to Chief Hanging Chad right now to start whipping up some Indian votes in SD. The humiliation is bad enough for them right now, if they lose South Dakota it will be complete.

[FreedomPoster]

THAT is a deliciously politically incorrect statement!
~LOL!~

[hobbes1]

Landrieus Three Opponents DID outpoll Her....

[patriciaruth]

No, the real humiliation will come when they have to undergo a Florida style recount, as they are going to be under the automatic trigger of 1/4th of 1%.

[TonyInOhio]

I remember when Clinton survived that their ilk were jumping up and down saying things like "Kiss the ring", etc.

The hour of revenge has struck, you bastards.

Beautiful! Glad to have you here to share the joy, Ivan. We've been waiting for this moment since 2000.
