Do y'all realize that President Obama won Harris County by 2 votes?

If you ever need a lesson to give your kids, neighbors, etc., on why every vote counts, this is it. Now I am certain this margin will change as absentee and provisional votes get counted and added (in fact, they already have added more for the President), but this was the overnight figure as shown in the Chronicle.
