Still need to know N.C. results, AL Franken results, Ted Stevens

[PretzelWarrior]

and Missouri results as well as Oregon's senate race.

It is a victory no matter what. Just wondering how much ICEING?

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. NC is nearly certain Obama. Franken has a headwind.

Missouri is very close but looks to be going red (slightly pink?). Need to check on Stevens and Oregon's race.

[vaberella]

2. Missouri and Franken are like Tweety binging on a Repub guest...ie they give me the runs.

I can't get a handle on where it's going. As for NC, it's Obama's leading by 11,160. Not much more to do there.

[Trajan]

3. Here are some ...

Franken is barely ahead in a tight race ...

4. Add Georgia senate race and presidential race. Early votes haven't been counted yet.

[vaberella]

5. Over 1 million worth. That's some crazy shit!! Damn!!

[PretzelWarrior]

22. They BETTER FUCKING COUNT THEM

I'm sorry........we are the UNITED States of America but I am tired of Sherriff Bubba Johnston types down in Georgia and elswhere in the south. Glad to see their brand of thought is being marginalized and GOP is increasingly becoming the party of the deep south and Mormon states.

10. Just got mine off the Secretary of State site.

But, okay.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. Merkley looks good in Oregon - lots of blue to count. Stevens for

some reason is leading his race - 73% counted, 4 point lead. There is only one precinct - all of Alaska!

[Trajan]

12. I am doubtful about Merkley

Multnomah county is Portland (Where I live)

It is fully counted .... Merkley is trailing ....

[PBS Poll-435]

17. According to CNN, Multnomah is only 31% counted

;-)

[Trajan]

19. Maybe ....

But here is what I found ...


Multnomah county is fully counted ....

NOT good news ....

13. Don't wory about Stevens, even if he runs he's going to have to step down.

There is no way they'll let him keep his seat after being convicted 7 times.

[d_b]

9. stevens race doesn't smell right

exit polls had him getting his ass stomped. We had diebold issues in 2004. http://dwb.adn.com/news/alaska/story/7386582p-7298824c.html

[lessthanjake]

18. But would you admit to voting for a felon?

Or would you say you didnt, but in the privacy of the voting booth vote for him because he gets you all kinds of pork?

Thats the problem, I think.

[LaPera]

23. Alaska, the second most corrupt voting state, (voting machines) behind Georgia.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. Believe it or not...

With 94% in Franken is ahead by just over 1,000 votes out of 2.2 million cast.
We won't know for a while, as there will be recounts etc.

Here's the MSNBC interactive:

[PBS Poll-435]

21. :-)

:sigh of relief!:

[PretzelWarrior]

20. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Clean slate!!

Sure, we have Greg Walden, but one Republican blemish isn't bad if we delivered electoral votes to Obama and got another Dem Senator.

I was a little surprised BOTH minimum sentences crime bills passed. WHATEVER.

[LaPera]

24. Way too cool! If only people could of heard the asshole Smith's massive TV ads - Lies & more lies!

This is what I could only dream about, being from N CA and a frequent visitor to Eugene.

[Trajan]
