3. Bachman is slightly ahead, West slightly behind.

I think West is toast: http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/state/FL#president
He may demand a recount, but I don't think he can close that gap.

Bachman here: http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/state/MN#house
She could hang on.

10. she's ahead

ugh.
i think there should be a recount. starting now.
158,447
156,020
93 percent is in.

11. 0.8% margin. Won't be an automatic recount unless margin falls to within 0.5%. Awk.

Also, margin is widening (bad), at least compared to when 86% was in.
