I think these election is a perfect example of what happens if a ton of little things go wrong all at the same time. I mean, seriously, these razor thin margins are all coming out blue. 9000 votes between Virgina and Montana to decide two Senate seats is crazy bad luck for the GOP.

Yes, be happy for Webb, now he can put as many little boy's penises in his mouth as he likes.

You have 24 hours to anti up the evidence.

WTF?!?

lol, Republicans used a few passages from his books against him in some campaign ads. One of them was about father/son incest or something like that.

According to Wikipedia, the entire population of the county (it's Meagher, btw) is 1,932. So if EVERYONE in the county voted and EVERYONE in the county voted for Burns, he'd win by a hundred votes or so. In other words, Tester has basically won...barring a recount and absentee ballots of course.

wikipedia

in 2000: 1,932, which would mean that Burns would have to get 95%+ votes to win MT.

It'd be interesting to find out how many people are registered to vote there.

This is gonna be close. Burns is now down by less than 2000. With only one county not listed (on CNN.com), it looks like someone will edge out a Meagher victory.

Edit: Dasm, didn't see the second page. :eek:

About 950 people voted in Meagher in 2004. 700 for Bush, 250 for Kerry. And Burns isn't nearly as popular as Bush was in MT in 2004.
So stick a fork in this one, it's done.

lol, yeah, basically Tester has increased his margin by a few hundred votes from tallies earlier in the morning. I don't see Tester's lead be lost at least with this first round of counting unless there's thousands of ballots that haven't been counted yet. Also, I guess the absentee ballots have been counted, so it's not going to come from those ballots.

You should be thanking them for not banning you based on the number of lies you tell around here, Dave.

I'm a financially conservative independent and find your post petty, moronic, and indicative of what's wrong with the system. Are you honestly proud of yourself after such a post?

Yeah, Jadow's comment was over the line. I first thought he was being extremely sarcastic as there was an Allen ad taking passages out of Webb's books and using them against him. However, when I see a previous quote by Jadow, it actual looks like his skewed view is serious:

"Allen is a piece of crap, but so is Webb, in that race, like most races, you're choosing between a nutty piece of crap, and a corn filled one.

Allen is a racist.

Webb is a sexist AND he wrote about a father putting his son's penis in his mouth. No matter what the circumstances, that is wierd. "

Any updates? It looks like there won't be a recount either, there has to be <.25% difference of total votes, not sure if that means it would include the Lib votes as well. With Lib vote, it's around .85% and without it's .40%. I think the Dem's will pull off the upset.

Yeah, just because he wrote an article in 1979 on why he thought women shouldn't be in the military, all of a sudden he's "sexist". rofl
