5. Just checked which areas are still out and unfortunately the look like

Republican areas. It would be so wonderful to get rid of her but as my husband said, she's damaged goods right now but if she loses she'll have her own show on Fox.

6. Why do these races have to be so agonizingly close?

8. Bachmann IS A behind!!!!!

Hope this knocks her off her heels and back to reality, but either way, she's got a taste of it

[NCLefty]

9. That would be a Christmas miracle!

Boo, she's back up a bit with 81% in. I'm going to watch this one all night.

12. Might be close enough for a mandatory recount.

13. Mandatory recount - that's what they are saying (local TV) nt

[GetTheRightVote]

14. I really hope he does...

please let it happen voters...

[gtar100]

15. Fantastic!! My fingers crossed!

16. 88% in, Bachmann in the lead by a little bit, with 4 districts to go.

Benton at 81% (B), Sherburne at 49% (B), Stearns at 98% (G), Wright 79% in (B).
Graves has a BIG uphill climb, but there's a lot of voters in Stearns and Sherburne. So he doesn't have to win all these districts but it would help if he's close in all of them.

20. This would be a wonderful early Xmas gift!

Maybe it will be God's will.

I don't think there are enough votes left for Graves to pull ahead.

22. sad face :( n/t

[caseymoz]

23. If he gets within 1 percent

Maybe there will be a recount.

Even so, Bachmann will go into her next term with less confidence, knowing she has to tone down to survive.

Would have been good to see both her and West go, but between the two of them, I'd rather see West, and he's gone.
