[BattyDem]

I need to get some sleep ... but I won't be able to sleep until I know! :crazy:

Please, for the love of Mike!

:kick:

[MRDU]

[cynatnite]

4. Me to. n/t

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. I'm not going to bed until MT is all said and done

fortunately I can sleep in tomorrow

[Connie_Corleone]

8. Me too. I took Wednesday off work.

I get to sleep late.

[Scooter24]

6. They are having to count some ballots by hand

because of equipment failure. It shouldn't be long now.

[AlamoDemoc]

7. know these folks need to count already and a pick purse on early a cow

[havocmom]

9. Sorry about the late hour. Perhaps you should all go on Mountain Time

Hey, it's a big state. Takes time for the ponies to trot in with the results.

Please be patient. We use a lot of paper and pencils here. Lots of hand counting. HUGE distances too. It's a big damn place ;)

[Rainscents]

11. LOL

Yes, it is BIG state! It takes forever to drive through your state!

[BattyDem]

13. I'll stay up all night if you give us a win!

:bounce:

[file83]

10. Consider the POPULATION of Montana - with a 7k lead, Burns would have

to pull a rabbit out of his ass and THEN SOME. No way - there aren't enough voters left to swing it the other way.

[cynatnite]

14. Six people per square mile...

Nope...ain't gonna happen. Montana will have two dem senators. :bounce: Least that's how it looks right now.

[havocmom]

16. EXACTLY

But, he does pull a lotta strange things outta his ass! :rofl:

[Pachamama]

18. 7K from Montana translates to 200K+ in other states....

I don't even think pulling a rabbit out of any orifice is going to help ole' Conrad.....

Buh Bye Conrad.... :hi:

[havocmom]

20. Yo, mama! Glad ta see ya here!

:hi:

Damn, I want to get this over so I can sleep the sleep of the righteous!

Tomorrow, we may be treated to the sight of Burns being pulled from a rabbit's ass

[Pachamama]

24. I swear, I won't be able to sleep tonite! You'd have to pull me off the ceiling right now!

And I am chanting my mantra of Virginia- Montana- Virginia- Montana and MCNERNEY (in CA District 11)

The Universe is listening.... :hi:

[file83]

12. UPDATE 7158 lead for Tester!!!

Tester Dem 149922
Burns Rep* 142764

[WinkyDink]

15. Well, not in Montana, it isn't!

Anyway, here in Pennsy I'm still celebrating Ricky's defeat!

[BattyDem]

17. It's times like these that I hate living on the east coast!

:-)

[Tommymac]

19. Tester up by 8,400

http://sos.mt.gov/ELB/archives/2006/elections/general/ussenate/index.asp

Over 279,000 votes cast ...not a bad turnout for a midterm...I believe the pundits predicted around 240,000....

[nytemare]

21. I think the news sources are more recent than the Montana site.

More votes are cast on them.

MSNBC has 149,922 for Tester and 142,764 for Burns.

[mconvente]

22. now 150-143K for tester

he's holding guys!

[havocmom]

23. Still no returns from Gallatin County?

That does worry me some. Lots of people there in the Bo-zone area

[NYC Liberal]

25. According to CNN:

Tester 8,530 49% 2% of precincts reporting
Burns 8,400 49%

[maseman]

26. I drank a six pack and now just made coffee

[sandnsea]

27. Yeah

But there's still some returns due from Hill, Silver Bow and Glacier. I don't see Burns picking up a huge margin anywhere. Do you?

[havocmom]

28. Silver Bow definately NOT Burns country!

Can't see him strong at all in Glacier.

No returns from Gallatin has put a pain in the pit of my stomach though. Lots of new people there... lots of trust-funders who love their taxes cut.
