It's practically a dead heat between Coleman and Franken, with 100% of the precincts reporting. I think I heard Al Franken is already calling for a recount? Anyone else heard anything more?

Well, a recount is automatic in Minnesota when the election is as close as it looks like it will be, so we almost certainly will have one.

I can't believe Stuart Smalley has done so well, Jack

I wonder how close the race would be without Barkley?

Have absentee ballots been added into the mix yet?

Well, ever since the 'Jesse Ventura Incident' they have had breathalizer tests at voting places, but apparently some broke down last night.

I read somewhere that he pulled from both Franken and Coleman, so it's hard to say.

Things could get exciting.

Or ugly [er].

The recount hasn't started yet, and already one polling place found a human counting error, bringing the difference between Franken and Coleman from 457 to just 236 votes:

At any rate it doesn't look like we'll know who won until mid December.

Barkley was pretty liberal on social issues, so I suspect he pulled more from Franken.

Especially given that Obama won by such a large margin in MN, which would suggest a lot of Dems who voted for Obama were voting for Barkley.
