oh crap

[donutsweeper]

Election crap isn't over the MN - the senate race is too close to call:

Coleman (Incumbent)	1,210,790	42%
Franken	1,210,028	42%
Barkley	437,146	15%

with 99% of precincts reporting. That means there will be a recount and a serious look at the absentee ballots and....

*VERY BIG SIGH*

eta- As of 6pm the race is 121644 for Coleman and 112167 for Franken so the margin is 477 votes!!!

Coleman has declared victory (of course) but come on- 477 votes out of 2.9 million? It really shows what an independent candidate can do- 400+k votes going to someone else could have thrown the race either way.

I see many recounts on this one.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

The state mandates a recount when there's less than .5% difference, this time there was less than .04%. *sigh* and there's a couple of cases of voter irregularities and tampering... it'll never end

Like I said, I totally feel your pain. I recommend lots of coffee and donuts.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

will coffee and leftover halloween candy do?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Depends on the Halloween candy, but I think your good.

Yelling at the TV, however, is just counter-productive.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

reece's pb cup? I couldn't resist buying an entire bag for 50 cents

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I actually think that might be better than donuts. Possibly. But only by a very slim margin.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

fresh donuts? with chocolate icing? no contest. But other than that. you may be right

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ok, I won't argue with that. Of course, the holiday shaped peanut butter cups have pretty much no competition.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh those are the BEST. Every easter (well, day after) I go and buy TONS of the egg ones

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

There's so much peanut butter in them. It's so tasty.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they are THE BEST. *sigh* I WANT

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Me too. Instead, I'll just have to settle for chocolate chip cookies.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh, sounds yummy! *eyes cookies for the bat mitzvah* ehhh, no. I'll be good enjoy!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

You could always have a nice cup of coffee, instead.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

true, true... or the half bag of reese's pb cups that's left

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Also true.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Did I say half bag? bwhahahaha

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

LOL...we get along so well.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that we do!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I made those chocolate chip cookies and then promptly hid them before anyone else got home. I would feel more terrible if I hadn't already shared a cake with them this week.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

well hidden cookies are key! and sneaky

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Well hidden cookies and chocolate.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh yes! add in coffee and you have it made!
