Bachmann is ahead of Tinklenberg enough to be pretty sure that she will win the night.
Paulson is beating Madia by enough to be pretty sure that Madia will not be going to Washington as our congressperson.
Coleman has pulled ahead of Franken, and my estimate is that Franken-leaning precincts were counted early. Franken will not win.
Minnesotans can be such unmitigated morons that I can't believe it sometimes.
I think we passed the nature tax.

Greg, I don't think your last two sentences say what you want them to.

It's looking good for medical marijuana in Michigan, too, yet strangely close there for stem cell research.

It looks like Anderson might be the reason why Bachmann has kept her seat, alas.

Tight judicial races here too that will keep us up all night dammit!

I have not even looked at the judicial races...

Getting too damn close Greg - Coleman is ahead now
Norm Coleman (Incumbent) 428,510 42%
Al Franken 421,782 42%
With 35% reporting

Bachmann is being reelected? Wow, that's sad. And horrifying. And embarrassing.

Well, the judges are clear. At least there's that! Franken/Coleman is going into recounts...

Be happy you're not in California tonight. Wanna trade Bachmann for Prop 8?

Paul Anderson beat the theocrat for associate state justice.

Lynne: I think Prop 8 is probably worse than Bachmann, but if we adjust ... so the equivilant of Prop 8 in a single rural congressional district vs Bachmann representing that district ... Well, still, Prop 8 is worse because it will be harder to get rid of.
