[NightOwwl]

CNN just announced...no link yet.

1. Burns: "we've retaken Baghdad airport."

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. Burns lost...he needs to get over it

Finito. Done. Ta ta.

[Beetwasher]

3. What's He Gonna Do??? The Vote Count Is OUTSIDE The Margin for a Recount?

:shrug:

[Tiggeroshii]

5. I think he can still request one.

Which is his right. I think though, that we still won.

[Stephanie]

8. there's one cut-off point where the state pays for it

and at a lower percentage but above a certain threshold the candidate can get one if he pays for it himself

[WernhamHogg]

10. Doesn't BURNS have to pay for the recount?

I know that if it is a certain percentage, it's an automatic recount, but since it appears to be over that percentage, doesn't the recount come out of Burns pocket instead of the taxpayers?

4. Eat shit, CONrad.

:D

[onecent]

6. I don't think this is good. THEY" always find some way to make it look

bad for us, and good for them...just sayin'

[WI_DEM]

7. well he can just not concede until the day Tester takes the oath

[skypilot]

9. Someone made a "phone call"

21. You got it!

These people will stop at nothing to preserve every ounce of power, every edge they can get.

So just take this as further evidence as to who and what we are dealing with.

Never play anything but hardball with this crew. It's okay for Nancy Pelosi to be polite and gracious in demeanor, but when push comes to shove, we are insane if we trust their sincerity in any way, shape or form.

[smoogatz]

11. Fuck him. Who cares?

Any re-count will work in Tester's favor--but the race is outside the margin anyway. Ain't gonna be no re-count. Burns just can't believe that he didn't cheat enough to win.

12. F(&# you Mr. Burns

Hope there is still some un-employment insurance left, after your party has fucked things up so much. YOU LOST! End of Story.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Ah...so Mehlman made it to Montana too, eh?

I just hope the DSCC has a TON of lawyers in VA. and MT!

[DemoTex]

14. Burns & Allen

Two GOP ASSCLOWNS.

[Kerrytravelers]

15. I never want to hear any rethug whining about any recounts we want.

Not ever again.

[donco6]

16. They always say this stuff.

Then they find out how much the recount is gonna cost and they drop it.

[radfringe]

17. he can always get a day job as a taxi-driver

leaving his nights free.. ;)

[Lex]

18. Fine. Let's just see him show up for work in the Senate

in the new term and see what happens.

[KamaAina]

19. "Smithers, I think there's a way we can pull this one out."

Oh, not THAT Burns... but his initial IS 'C' and he keeps falling asleep on the Senate floor... hmm... :tinfoilhat:

[spuddonna]

20. "Reporters from CNN are on the lawn. Release the hounds..." n/t
