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.

Good Morning America!
Well, after I went to bed last night, the Minnesota Senate Race between Al Franken and Norm Coleman tightened up. The Associated Press is reporting, I hear, that Coleman has won. They are wrong.
The difference between the two candidates is now (at 6:30 AM) just over 1,000…
... and there is strong evidence of shenanigans on the part of Coleman supporters (or someone).

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

Be happy you're not in California tonight. Wanna trade Bachmann for Prop 8?
Paul Anderson beat the theocrat for associate state justice.
