Republican Sen. Ted Stevens fell behind by three votes Wednesday as the count resumed in his re-election bid.

Stevens now trails by 814, but there are 38,000 votes that still need to be counted. This race will not end any time soon.

Has Minnesota started their recount yet? I know there has been some jockeying for position on the monitors and how to and which votes to count.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I hope Stevens loses and goes directly to jail. Crooks on either side of the aisle should not be tolerated.

I hope Coleman wins and Franken disappears for good. I never found his humor that way either. Gotta give credit to Minnesota for some creative characters however, Venture, Franken, et al.

I hope Chambliss wins the run off in Georgia. That will be an ugly race, part II.

Although the thought of Joe Lieberman being a deciding factor if all three of these seats go Democratic in the Senate fills me with ironic glee.

Al Franken sent me an email this morning asking for money. I didn't give it to him.
