Burner in a (ahem) barn-burner

There are some very tight numbers in the hotly contested race to represent Washington's eighth district.

Burner has 50.23% to Reichert's 49.77%.

Wow. Um, it's not going to be a long night, it's going to be a long week. Or more.

Could very well wind up with an automatic recount. We'll see. At any rate, it must be harsh for Republicans to be in such a close race with someone they so clearly look down on. Too bad for them. Burner is a highly intelligent, dedicated person.

I wouldn't wish a recount on her, but we won't let them pull another 2004, that's for sure. You can already hear the GOP lie machine cranking up in the distance. Is that a faint whir of Excel I hear?
