Suspense is killing me here!

 

[Michigan11]

Fingers crossed for Justin Amash and Kerry Bentivolio and watching the 9th district too for the other guy to beat Levin!

 

[TCE]

Suspense is killing me here!

Same here. Michigan was called for Obama in roughly 12 seconds after the polls closed, so that doesn't bode well although Amash's district is a very GOP-leaning one. Good luck, all!

I know....the GOP has been telling us for 2 weeks that Michigan was in play, and I seriously wondered where they were getting their info, because I didn't see it.

Crap...

 

[deadfish]

Pestka takes the lead.

 

[tsai3904]

By the way, Gelineau is a Libertarian.

 

[EBounding]

ughhh....it shouldn't be this close, even with less than 10%.

 

[Michigan11]

No way of knowing where the precincts are reporting from, but I can't stand to see this race close in like this.

 

[McChronagle]

By the way, Gelineau is a Libertarian.

wtf?

 

[misean]

That would be so sick if that Libertarian candidate is the margin of victory. Some of the votes could have just been people voting straight ticket Libertarian. Amash is the most libertarian congressman left. How can anyone vote Libertarian over Amash. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Why is this the only district (?) where the LP is over 4%, and why even run at all here?

 

[Lucille]

If Justin doesn't win tonight, I will be devastated.
