1. up by what? 300? It's going to recount I think.

I hate Norm Coleman.

3. Almost 400.

but yeah, it will be a recount no matter who "wins".

I hope Al hangs on. I just want to see Bill Orally have to say the words "Senator Al Franken".

4. Please ! No more Coleman!

2. Up by all of 379 votes

Nerve-wracking. Probably the closest election in the country.

5. And STILL With 84% of Precincts Reporting in St. Louis County!

Hmmmm. Looks good for Franken.

6. I wonder what Al is thinking tonight.

He's so close, it must be maddening. Especially knowing that he's going to have to get a recount anyway.

7. I'm confused, because MN SOS has Coleman up by 6000 votes

Meanwhile, all the networks are posting entirely different totals. There seems to be no rational explanation.

9. cross-check the % or number of precincts reporting... they haven't updated as fast as the MSM
