2. Montana should be fine

The counties left, a batch right around his ranch which are going Tester. A few around Missoula, which may go Burns but will be so close they won't break 10,000 votes. Glacier, which is a res county. A batch in the southwest where environmental concerns will give Tester a good edge. So we should be fine in Montana I think.

4. Ooooh, I so hope you're right

What a great way to end the night.

I think VA will hold up, even though it may take a few weeks. So now, it's all eyes on Montana........
