| I've looked at the remaining Senate numbers -- and there's reason for optimism for Al Franken.
Many votes are left to count in the Fifth and Eighth congressional districts -- this should favor Franken considerably going forward. With about 80% counted, the fact that so many of the remaining 20% are from the two heaviest-DFL-index congressional districts in the state should help.
Nevertheless, there's a strong chance at this point that there will be a statewide recount, unless one of the candidates puts a little daylight between himself and his opponent. |
