9. There aren't 100K votes, but there are a LOT of early, uncounted votes.
Have you read anything about this election, at all?

Now you're referring to my post as "half-assed stupidity", which is pretty darn close to a personal attack. I'm just interested in being accurate here.

Yes, it looks like Mitchell won. It also looks like Joe Courtney beat Rob Simmons in CT-02 (thankfully). But there are uncounted votes in both cases, and in AZ, early votes count for a LOT.

Yes, Hayworthless would need a stunning majority of uncounted early votes to win. It is highly unlikely that it will happen. But we held off on calling the Virginia Senate race until it was absolutely certain Webb had won, didn't we?

Why doesn't the same logic apply here?

I thought we DUers were against saying things like "If the MSM says so, it must be right".
