Does anyone know if Coleman's totals already include absentees, or are they put off to the side until all regular ballots are counted?

[Route66]

Fox reported that SD had to go out of state to get replacement equipment to finish counting the votes.
I hope this is just a simple breakdown and not some scheme to try to save Daschle the final indignity of losing the other senate seat in his state.

[Timesink]

Also -- Howard Fineman just said the Pubbies are poised to capture the under-30 crowd. Amen to that!!

There's no "poised" about it. It's already happened, and has been well-documented for several years. People under thirty that grew up with the tail-end of Reagan and the Bush 41 Administrations, then went through the Clinton years, are fully versed in the difference between rational governing and pure sleaze. Those who grew up knowing nothing BUT Clinton and Bush 43 are so amazed at the difference between Dubya and the Toons that they despise the Democrats.

Actually, MN is taking a long time because all votes are counted by hand.

By hand?????

[Howlin]

Are they incapable of even ONE SENTENCE without that word?

Green Party is fine by me.

[willgetsome]

Thanks for the heads up. I hope the GOP has some damn good poll watchers drinking lots of coffee on this one! Although Wellstone was a decent man, I don't trust his DFL foot soldiers.

[Timesink]

Hell, they passed motor voter! They will pass anything!

That wasn't as obvious, and it was back in the days when the electorate was largely ignorant of the massive RAT voter fraud going on across the country. They've smartened up since then.

[kwyjibo]

Was it the computer chips from Omaha or is this something different?

Opening back up a little. It has been running pretty consistent for Coleman for a while now. Unless there's some big surprise, I think he wins it.

[nopardons]

Just what I posted, a wee bit ago. GMTA ! LOL

[rb22982]

13% to go in MN with 3+% lead for Coleman!

Indian Reservation, is breaking 90-10 for Johnson

Yes, Natives don't have enough poverty, alcoholism and despair...they need MORE Democrats!

It is remarkable how these groups (like blacks) disenfranchise THEMSELVES from the American dream by continuing to mindlessly support the Rats.

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO!

[Mo1]

From what I can tell

NOPE

[Darlin']

Isn't it just grand ? I must admit to having a glass or two of red wine tonight. :) I just learned it has been 130 years since Georgia had a Republican governor. 1872. Isn't that amazing ?

[nutmeg]

I've had FNC for about 10 months now, and don't always see Rita on a regular basis (She's mostly on weekends, right?). From what I can tell - especially tonight - she appears to be a "rightie".

Also, I heard some comments from Darrin Kagen (sp?) on CNN tonight (she's on now with Leon Harris, she's wearing a red outfit) that lead me to believe that she's a "rightie" also! ??? Maybe I'm just extremely tired, and I'm starting to hear things.

Yikes! 4:19AM EST... I think I've broken a record for myself here... C'mon SD and MN!

[Outraged At FLA]

Hey everyone. It has been a great night.. Been following the thread since around #1500.. Very tired, estatic, and cant wait to see how the races turn out tomorrow.. Go GOP. Niters all :)

[stillonaroll]

I'm pretty sure that Gray Davis is term limited, so he can't run for governor again.

That is correct. Davis cannot run for CA governor again. CA residents should simply hide their firearms for the next four years while Arnold warms up in the bullpen.

It is significant that Davis’ re-elect margin looks to be at least a dozen points lower than his 1998 margin. This gives us hope for the 2006 governor’s race, and renders CA winnable for W in 2004.

In 2000, Davis was being talked up as a presidential candidate for 2004. Looks like his star has fallen as far as the demonRATS have nationally.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Oh, I know what you mean. I was away from here for a while, and one of the first things I did when I came back was look at D.U. - fantastic. ProfanityUnderground tonight. Heheh.

[willgetsome]

ohhh...slight Mondale gains with that last update...

Come on Norm!
