MSNBC: Obama ahead by 79 votes in NM with 80% reporting

[Unsane]

wow.

[ursi]

1. WTF? I feel asleep a couple of hours ago and some DUer had posted that clinton won?

[sandnsea]

2. I thought Clinton was up with 98% reporting

Has something changed?

[caligirl]

3. If Clinton wants a recount in Missouri will she have the money to cover the fees?

Last I heard at DKOS she was thought o have about 10 million, I think she raised under 15 in January. So faced with Obama's 30+million and manhy states still to run ads and expenses I would wonder if she would spend the money in Missouri on a recount?

[NastyRiffraff]

5. Why on earth would she want a recount?

All of this nonsense comes from Keith's quoting Missouri law that the results might be eligible for a recount. He never said that the Clinton campaign wanted one; in fact he was careful to say that nothing about a recount came from the campaign. It was just a point of information.

Besides, it's not winner-take-all; it would be stupid to demand a recount, even if the law says it's possible.

As for DKos, I don't know where they get the $10 mllion figure. Link?

6. State wide recounts are very unlikely

there is no percentage in "winning" MO by 5000 or by losing by 5000.

Individual precincts and districts is another matter. If Obama or Clinton lose by a few dozen or so votes, maybe even up to a few hundred... then a recount might be asked for...

It's all about delegates.

4. Was there any national election in recent memory that NM didn't do the switch

in the last moment? Cuz I remember 2000, 2004 as well - always with the few votes

8. Don't be racist. n/t

[psychopomp]

9. What was racist?

Let's not be so quick to use that accusation. "Snapping jaws" would conjure images of a hungry hunter hot on the heels of prey such as a shark, wolf or lion. Sen. Obama's campaign as it is today may indeed be likened to such a powerful creature.

Like he said today, though, that powerful creature is really us. We are the voters who are making this contest happen.

13. I. AM. HOWLING... !!! Now I'm so glad that I was being a twit.

Your post *still* have me laughing. Maybe I should have gone w/ speciesist!

Still laughing. Maybe.need.sleep.

[psychopomp]

16. Reading online can be strange...

I thought with "howling" you were continuing the animal metaphor...had to read it a couple of times before I got it!:toast:

[krkaufman]

17. I noticed that, too, as I was typing it. But left it in.

Sorry about the confusion. :toast:

[Eurobabe]

10. what was racist about THAT??

I support Obama. :wtf:

Don't piss me off, I've been up all night and I am likely to throw something at you.

[krkaufman]

12. Absolutely nothing. Was just being a twit.

Adding a smiley would have ruined my fun. Sorry. Please forgive. (insert emoticon depicting :shame: here)

(I support Obama, too; just voted for him here in IL.)

[Eurobabe]

15. I'm just surly, been up since 3:30am

watching election returns, time for a nap. :hi:

11. Latest result maps - Dem and GOP

[krkaufman]

14. Useless US maps... since they don't depict proportional delegate allocations. n/t
