The Montana recounts are happening in Yellowstone County, which is where Billings is. Beautiful city. Anyway, the chances are excellent that we're going to take that. I'm cautiously optimistic about Virginia, as that's been getting bluer and bluer, and current counts have Webb ahead. But, dude, we took Missouri. You can't get me down today, what with my frothy mix of a senator gone, and Missouri slowly redeeming itself in my eyes.

We will have to wait and see. Virginia looks like it is going to go down to the Absentee ballots which are normally Republican 2-1, however, this election has not gone well for the Republicans and that may not be true. It looks like no matter what in Virginia, there will be a recount. Maybe the same for Montana as there was a problem in Yellowstone county which will require a recount no matter what. So we may not know for a while yet about either state. If one or the other go to the Republicans then they basically remain in control, however if both go Democrat, then they will control both the House and Senate and the committees which really deal out the power in Congress.

Well, the Republicans only need one to hold onto power and as someone mentioned, absentee ballots usually favor them, (and there are quite a lot) so I think the odds favor them holding at least one fof those seats, maybe both............
