[mvd]

14. Come on, Sestak

I heard he won Mongtomery County pretty easily. Good sign?

[ShadowLiberal]

16. Toomey's starting to catch up a lot quicker now

Sestak's parts of the state reported in sooner, though they aren't all in yet.

Sestak is apparently just under the number of votes democrats think he needs to win in Philadelphia to win the race (280,000, he's 5,000 under that with 5% left to report).

[Historic NY]

[Barack_America]

21. 4,000 votes separate them.

This is ridiculous.

Interestingly, the NYT still has Sestak up with more precincts reporting.

:shrug:

27. I'd say recount, but most of the state is touchscreen....

nothing to recount....

When Diebold/ES&S speaks, it's the final word (tm)

[budkin]

26. He's down now and probably out...

FUCK

[Junkdrawer]

28. 90.62% in: SESTAK 49.7%, TOOMEY: 50.3% n/t

[Barack_America]

30. I don't think this is going to be decided tonight.

Paper ballots, provisionals, etc. If it is decided, it will be a great disservice to the voters.

Though I agree the night will likely end with Toomey on top.

[BlueDemKev]

31. Sestak is down by 23,000 with 90% in

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!!!

34. ACK! I WANT This one...

How close does Sestak have to be to ask for recount? Still holding out he closes gap and surpasses...very little left to count though.

[Junkdrawer]

35. 96.84% in: SESTAK 49.4%, TOOMEY: 50.7% n/t

[sweetapogee]

36. the morning call has

Toomey , Pat GOP 1,860,863 52%
Sestak , Joe Dem 1,729,805 48%

[Barack_America]

37. No way in hell that's happening.

Looks like they under-sampled Philly.

[sweetapogee]

39. Dude

We are running out of state 96% counted

[Barack_America]

40. Exactly. There's no way Toomey's getting that margin.

[mvd]

38. I think it's over unless I'm missing something

Might be heading back to MD. Can't take having Corbett AND Toomey.

[sweetapogee]

41. The Morning Call

Has called it for Toomey
