if there's any good news its that our conservative new blood in Bachmann is up late....and Franken is down vs. Coleman now

Bachmann (Incumbent) 120,132 48% Tinklenberg 106,852 42% 64% of precincts reporting

Coleman (Incumbent) 758,687 43% Franken 724,271 41% 68% of precincts reporting

Can’t wait to hear Franken’s concession speech. It’s a good bet that he throws a tizzy and takes cheap shots at Coleman.

That would almost be worth staying up for.

[dr_who]

Yeah, hopefully Franken is headed to electoral hell. I’ve seen enough of that guy, and I haven’t watched SNL since I figured out in college that it was for losers.

[grey_whiskers]

I did my part, as a good Minnesotan.

Don't blame me, I voted McCain-Palin-Coleman-Bachmann-Paulsen.

Cheers!

This is FAR from over- - Hennepin and St. Louis Counties still have a lot to report (Minneapolis and Duluth/Iron Range). I wish I had a better feeling about this!

Take what I can get now.

Coleman is pulling away from Stuart Smalley. Now up 45K.

[dr_who]

Hopefully not from the back of the secretary of state’s freezer, anyway.

[DrHannibalLecter]

rofl nice one

[GOP_Lady]

Well, at least I had a laugh while nearly having a heart attack. LOL. :-)

[GiveEmDubya]

Or maybe not.

[JaneNC]

Thank God for some good news.

NC is staight communist....and there was immense ACORN activity here, too.

My favorite concession speech, from Dick Tuck, a minor RAT operative and dirty trickster in the 1970s:

"The people have spoken. The bastards."

[TexasTransplant]

I’d prefer the last autopsy shot... how about a warning?

[voteNRA]

Is anyone tracking where the remaining returns are coming from?

See links in my post 15

You can track all over the state down to the precinct level if you want

[Carlucci]

Will there be a runoff since no one is over 50%, or does MN go on the plurality?

How about a picture warning? Some people might be headed for bed.
