It's less than 1%, will take a week to certify the election.

Yikes.

4. Are they fixing the election for Kerry???? n/t

[kanrok]

5. Doesn't matter IMHO

Clark sent a message with his showing. I'm an Edwards guy, but congrats to Clark. Class act.

6. What's the difference in delegates?

It's basically a tie, except for the delegates. I honestly don't know how it will break down there.

Anyone know?

[BruinAlum]

8. They could very well get the same number of delegates

The recount will simply determine who was 1st.

10. Ding! Yep, you have it. It all comes down to bragging rights.

7. Damn, Now Clark won't get any media credit for winning the state.

The news won't be that Clark won...It will be all about how close Edwards came to winning another state!

[BruinAlum]

9. Are you kidding? Clark will be in the news ALL WEEK now!

THis is good news for Clark if you want him to get media attention.

[ShaneGR]

11. Clark barely won a state he campaigned in all week

Edwards had a double-digit win in SC. And Clark has failed to even give a speech in OK yet while Edwards got a full hour and a half of primetime television tonight. Tied race with NO official winner in OK. Edwards finished second in Missouri, the largest state of the night.

Who do you think think the media will talk about?

[John_H]

12. 1220 folks more folks know that Edwards cant beat Chimp,Clark can.

Guess you're with the others.

[Nashyra]

14. Clark will get the credit for being first

even if they don't certify for a week. Clark will start moving up in the polls.

[Skip Intro]

16. The media has been virtually silent on Clark for weeks

It didn't just start tonight.

[Bonobo]

20. Is that you, Judy Dandruff?

[jburton]

13. Send in Katharine Harris !

n/t

[Turkw]

15. Oklahoma is not where I'd send here, in a handbag no less n/t

[Clark Can WIN]

19. Send that bitch to my house

There's a conversation I've been wanting to have with her for years. :smoke:

[arewethereyet]

17. isn't it customary to await the outcome of a recount b4 claiming win ?

I don't expect anything to change, Clark beat Edwards, I can accept that. But I'd like to think decorum would be appropriate here.

Both guys staked their campaigns on winning at least one state and so they have.

[Clark Can WIN]

21. so even though with 99% reporting him at a win

you just wanted him to sit on his hands tonight and shut up?

Right.
