[kysrsoze]

3. Boo-Ya! Felix Macaca, let's see those $$$$$

I'm glad to not be so worried about it now. The sigh of relief feels nice.

[AspenRose]

14. No recount now?

eom

[file83]

21. How do they determine the .5% figure? Anyone?

[instantkarma]

25. currently 49.70 -49.19 nt

[Blackhatjack]

16. A Win over 11,747 -The Recount Would Not Be Paid For By VA...

... it will come out of George Allen's pocket. THe same pocket he will have to dig into when he hires lawyers to defend him against upcoming indictments.

He can ask for a recount if within 1%, but it would be costly if this margin holds up.

[AspenRose]

24. GOOD-I wanna see him in jail

This is the best news of the night. Hope it continues in Webb's favor.

I have wanted to see FELIX go down in flames all summer long.

[Laelth]

19. YESSSSSS!

Now if Tester can keep Montana, we will have taken the Senate.

(or so it looks at this point)

Way to go VA!

:applause:

:dem:

-Laelth

[Monty_]

23. Tester up 4%

with close to 70%

[file83]

26. Wait, so after VA and Montana, we have our 6 needed?

Is this true?

[sandnsea]

29. This is true

This is IT!!!

[file83]

32. If we win the Senate too, I'm going to cry...I can feel it coming on.

[alcibiades_mystery]

30. Yes. We've won Virginia...now if Montana comes through, we'll have our 6

Natch.

[Duncan Grant]

22. Webb claims victory (CNN clip). (n/t)

[knowledgeispwr]

28. Secretary of State sites always lag behind....

and most other sites are based from that. Secretary of State sites for individual states virtually always lag behind.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

31. CNN's Behind. It's Only 8000.

But good enough!!!!

[file83]

33. CBS says the same thing (almost) as CNN

[magellan]
