I'm getting tired of typing and retyping

There's 17,000 uncounted provisional ballots from urban KC and St. Louis

Plus there are around 7000 absentee ballots to be counted. The McCain margin is currently 5,868 votes, razor thin. Even if two thirds of the provisionals are thrown out(which is the average spoilage rate in past elections) there are still the numbers there to eek out an Obama win in this state. Given that we have Robin Carnahan as SoS, she will count every vote possible, have no fear on that score. However we probably won't know for another couple of weeks.

That said, what I really want to know is what the fuck happened in Clay, Jackson and St. Charles counties? These suburban KC and St. Louis counties were supposedly wired for sound by the Obama campaign, yet each one went for McCain. I was particularly wondering about Jackson and Clay, who took a real long time to report last Tuesday night, and where McCain's finally tally didn't reach fifty percent. I think that something strange went on there :shrug:

But we'll see, just give it a couple of weeks.
