[ewing]

Tell us how crowded/not crowded it was when you went to vote!

Did you see voter fraud and what is the talk about exit polling and the possible outcome?

[Tennessean4Bush]

52-48, 1,994 of 3,912 precincts reporting (51%)

[Jorge]

250,770 48% Mary Landrieu -
270,871 52% Suzanne Haik Terrell

Looks like Fletcher has pulled slightly ahead in the House race.

[comebacknewt]

I think we blew it.

[laconic]

Does this include anything from New Orleans yet? I agree, this don't look promising.

[Howlin]

I'm sending you a 13 inch TV for your computer area for Christmas!

[jackbill]

Now they have it 51-49 Terrell with 49% reporting. Gonna be close.

[Canadian Outrage]

But aren't the FBI in New Orleans too???? For crying out loud - somebody drive down there and give us the nitty gritty. I can't stand it.

[Mudbug]

62% in Terrell still has slight lead

[TomGuy]

LA Secretary of State election results site much have crashed. Am getting a "Cannot find server" error.

[FF578]

U. S. Senator 2,123 of 3,912 precincts reporting

284,536 49% Mary Landrieu -
301,640 51% Suzanne Haik Terrell

[habs4ever]

get a grip, you twit! You always have to dump on the carpet, huh?

[Diddle E. Squat]

If we lose, nothing went wrong. We were the underdog, Landrieu the incumbent. She came within a few percentage points of an outright victory in November. Besides, Terrell is trying to overcome all the spoilsport, "my way or no way" idiots that would sit at home because their candidate didn't finish second.

Its Louisiana, not Texas or Utah.

[vbmoneyspender]

Fox just had Landrieu up 274,000 to 272,000 for Terrell with 50% of the precincts reporting.

[Gunder]

Grrrr... FOX stopped coverage. Oh, well. Their results were lagged anyway.

[ewing]

Michael Barone on FOX says it will end up 50/50, along week of waiting ahead.. HOLD THAT TIGER! (Landrieu that is)

[careyb]

Fox has decided to stop election coverage in favor of Rita Cosby.

[Tennessean4Bush]

51-49,
2,132 of 3,912 precincts reporting (54%)

[Theodore R.]

Actually the House seat was believed to be more secure for the GOP than the possibility of a Terrell victory for the Senate. Fletcher is running far behind what was expected. One of his primary rivals, former Rep. Clyde Holloway, R-LA, refused to vote for Fletcher, and apparently many of the Holloway faithful also sat out the House race or voted for Democrat Rodney Alexander. If Alexander wins, we can expect Holloway to try again for the House in 2004. He would prefer to take on a Democrat (Alexander) than a Republican (Fletcher). I can see an Alexander win become reality in the next 90 minutes.

[cajungirl]

I don't think we have evidence of fraud yet,,we expected Mary to get New Orleans. We also expected Terrell to do better in the other parts of the state. This will be a cliffhanger but I think Landrieu will win. Horrid thought.

[Timeout]

Uh Oh. Fred Barnes backtracking, reiterating how exceptional it would be if Terrell beat an incumbent. I don't like the sound of this. And what's this?! Fox election coverage over????
