I doubt it, Mark would have to get something like 14,000+ of the 20,000 absentee/early ballots left to tally. I just don't see it in the cards.

He was losing on election night in 2008, too. One of his mayor races, I think it was, he won by a couple hundred votes. It is ALWAYS close with him. If the absentee votes are coming from the Bush, I think he still may pull it out.

Otherwise, he may take on Lisa in 2016 because she's managed to piss pretty much everybody off here.

Are you here in the state?

And if he loses, at least we get that carpetbagging Sullivan out of here. It'll be so much easier for him to move back to Maryland if he's in DC.
