#1 more important than this one election contest is the continuing drips and dollops of information that is getting out about the arrogance of the Dem candidates, the contempt they have for the electorate, the low esteem they have for the US, etc.

#2 These are definately NOT the democrats your Mom and Pop voted for. This is a scary bunch.

#3 It's not the Burris precedent they'll use, it's Franken. If Brown wins, expect all sorts of challenges - legal, administrative and otherwise. And, that's regardless of the margin - recall Coleman/Franken was in the hundreds, then few thousands of votes - the Mass. machine will gum up the works here if the margin is within 200,000 votes.

Interestingly, all that may reveal just how corrupt/mismanaged the system is. While everyone focused on Florida 2000, almost nobody noticed the follow-up analysis in Cook County, where similar machines are used. Basically, the county machine is satisfied if they have less than 250,000 "spoiled" ballots. In other words, the votes lost to incompetence in Cook County are more than the totals cast in the 10-12 least populated states. God help us if we ever have another close election here - then again, we'd likely never know.

A very big "if" and yes it will be very bloody and strung out. I do pray he wins. "Who Dares Wins"

#5 Close doesn't matter. Just ask former Senator Coleman.

#6 Senate Democrats may seek to use the chaos surrounding the appointment of Roland Burris last year as a precedent for delaying the swearing in of a man who campaigned as the 41st 'no' vote on health care reform

Banana republic time. God help us. WTF is happening in our country?
