uncalled senate races! help me out here
cnn doesn't seem to be covering these and i think it's important:

1. recount in MN. what's going on? are they done yet?

2. ted stevens in alaska. is there any investigation going on about the fact that he was elected despite his felony convictions and the polling showing him 22% down right before the election? have all the votes been counted yet? what's happening there?

3. chambliss in GA. seems to me he's just under 50%. are they scheduling a run-off?


help me out. i'm dying from the suspense.

2. MN is going to take at least another month.
They are going to hand-count almost 3 million ballots, and they haven't started yet.

3. Georgia runoff is in early December

Apparently there was a "low voter turnout" in Alaska. Very fishy.

5. their gov was on the pres ticket and they had low turnout?
very fishy indeed. is there any investigation going on? i mean a convicted felon won in a race where the other guy was way ahead in the polls.

4. It will be the middle of December when Minnesota is over
There still seem to be about 90,000 votes outstanding in Alaska. That election is strange.

Georgia is next month.

6. you mean 90,000 votes that need to be counted?
i'm confused about alaska.

as for GA, i hope obama and clinton get down there to charge up the african american voters to get chambliss out.

if they would straighten out all these messes, we could actually end up with 60 senate seats.
