Did the Repukes just get "Nadered" in the Senate?

Correct me if my math's wrong, but did the libertarian in Montana take enough votes from Burns to give the seat to Tester? At least was it enough votes to keep from triggering a recount?

If so, this would be huge. This would make Montana '06 like bizzaro Florida '00, in a sense.

Delicious.

1. There's a "Green" running in Virginia

But somehow, I don't think that one was running as a spoiler.

2. Only really really really dumb Green party voters would have gone for her

She's not a Green party candidate at all, she's an "Independant Green," which is a conservative party which, if Wikipedia is reliable, ran mostly veterans as candidates. They don't exactly serve the same constituency as the actual Green party, and if the voters voting for Parker did so on an informed basis, she may have actually pulled votes from Allen.
