The recount will be the largest in state history and will likely drag this seat out for sometime. Don’t rule out legal challeneges after the recount is complete. In essence, this race is a mess and not close to resolution.

National Race Tightening, I don’t think so

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700

3BlueDudes - Oct. 28 (News Report) - Not according to Pew, one of the more respected polling firms. The brand new Pew Poll finds a huge 16 point lead for Barack Obama. DISCLAIMER: This poll will not be reported by the national mainstream media (CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC — no we don’t consider Fox main streak media). They want you and everyone else to believe this race is tightening and close. Political and real realities are different, but that is what they want to portray. Perhaps that is why blogs like this are gaining readers and viewers while mainstream media continues losing viewership. Their Presidential campaign coverage has been terrible.
