2006 Election Results

Montana has a population only slightly larger than that of the Moon. So when the count is only a half a percentage point between the two candidates, it really could go either way. But a recount shouldn't take that long, either.

This is why I have been watching Montana all this time. I just knew it was going to end up being a lot of fun. :)

It still seems to be pretty much ignored by everyone, but imagine the shock waves if a recount gives the election to Burns and the majority back to the Republicans. Woo hoo! Fun times!

I think it is because, in part, the analysis that I've seen suggest that the outstanding, possibly disputed, precincts likely can't deliver enough votes to change the outcome...As I understand things, Tester is up by apx. 3,000 votes, the disputed precincts involve apx. 1500 votes...so even if they all went to burns, it still would fall short (and they wouldn't all go to burns, as it isn't South Texas). So, the question is: is there enough dispute to assume that he could get 1500 in a total state-wide recount? I suppose in Montana it is possible -- don't know the recount history there -- but that is a lot of votes to turn in any recount where massive fraud is not suspected.

I don't see it...that it why Tester claimed victory...

I don't see it going Burns' way, either. I would just enjoy some kind of scrap to keep everyone in suspense for a while, and Burns is just the kind of guy to do it. :)

Tester doesn't seem so bad. He has problems with the Patriot Act, and that makes him okay in my book.
 
CNN was just interviewing the VA Sec. of State. She said that while their canvas is only about a third done...so far it has added 300+ votes for Webb...if your Allan, that should indicate the color of the writing in the snow.

Republicans Blame Election Losses On Democrats

What's funny is that, IMO, this election was a massive self-inflicted wound that was primarily caused by a decision, in Nov 2004, to stop listening to anything other than the voices in their heads, they being:

Rove
Mehlman
Cheney
Bush
various and assorted neocon mouthpieces
et al

DR

You got that right

I think because the president has become "the teflon don" they all thought they were sprayed with the same untouchable tri-flow.

Guess they miscalculated
