2. How did it stay that close?

It should have been by a much larger margin.

3. Good Question

But it's not the 6 points Michels was trumpeting all last week. There are still a few precints all over the state still to be reported. My puke county went heavily for Feingold. I can't believe it didn't happen that way all over the state.

Ten points is a healthy spread and I think the largest margin Russ has ever had. Perhaps by morning it will be bigger.

BTW, its late and you have classes tomorrow. Shouldn't you be sleeping?

on edit: I'm heading to bed myself. I have too much to do tomorrow and I'll be wasted as it is.

4. Lot bigger win than last time.

For a Senete race not involving Herb Kohl, this is a huge win.
