Montana Update: Tester Wins, Unofficially

The "recount" in Yellowstone "somehow" cost Jon Tester a 2500 vote swing but it was not enough shenanigans from the GOP to get Burns over the top or even into recount range.

With only one tiny precinct of about 500 voters in Meagher to count (what's the freaking delay on THAT?!?), Tester is in the clear

Tester 194,914
Burns 193,179

The Senate will be Democratic. Hello Majority Leader Reid.

    Webb won. Ignore the noise.

    He'll be in the Senate in January.

    I'd love to get excited about a Dem House and Senate....

    But we ain't leaving Iraq, we won't get weed rights or poker rights, the govt. won't spend our money any more responsibly, health care won't be adressed in a meaningful way.  So ho-hum.

    Hopefully they can at least get the min. wage raised to a reasonable level...I'd settle for that.

    this is a good time to highlight just how loathesome these two particular individuals are!  Both racist to their marrow, one corrupt from head to toe!  Let's seize this moment!

    This would give the Democrats 51, but only if you count Lieberman, correct?  Is it safe to do so?

    That man of principle? (none / 0) (#6)

    His self image is such that he won't do that.
