I'll believe it when I see it. Will I ever be happy to see some decent jurist and a Supreme Court of young Constitutionalists. Three more Scalias, please!

[ambrose]

some of us have a VERY bad feeling about the the Indian counties being saved for last...

Coleman up by 70182 with 205 precincts remaining.

Don't ever concede to a democrat theft. It only encourages the SOBs. Out with Johnson. Out with Daschell. Next election we'll work on North Dakota and shed the country of Dorgan or Conrad, which ever one is up.

I will be retired and moved to the North Country so I can work at their removal full time. Mrs. LDD is eager to dig in those political fields. Look out Dems, more Republicans are coming.

With 95% of Precincts reporting in Minnesota: Norm Coleman 903617 50.31% Mondale 833435 46.41% Thanks for this post. I didn't know that so many votes had been counted in this one. WHAT A NITE !!!!

[Satadru]

Coleman up by 70521 with 199 precincts to go.

[Lion Den Dan]

May his god help his godless soul. We will help the western counties rise up and depose the stinker.

[Satadru]

Don't go! The fun is just starting.

[Congressman Billybob]

The latest CNN figures show Thune up 2,000 with 2%, or about 4,000 votes to go. That means Johnson needs 75% of the remaining 4,000 votes to tie. Does anyone know whether the absentee ballots in S.D. are being counted already, or those are yet to come? Absentees always break more Republican than the live election at the polls.

Wait for it to happen before you feel bad. If it doesn't happen you'll have felt bad for nothing.

It's one of the fringe benifits of positive thinking.

[Russell Scott]

Mondale should be conceding soon, hopefully South Dakota won't become Florida North. I am glad they have a Republican SOS.

VNS has called Minnesota for Coleman!!!!!!
