Today, Barack Obama officially won North Carolina, making the final electoral vote 364 to 173. However, the democratic party has yet to capture the filibuster proof majority of 60 seats in the senate (D - 57 / R - 40) and three seats remain, Alaska, Georgia, and Minnesota.
The Races
The Races
- Alaska - Incumbent Senator Ted Stevens, a recent convicted felon, holds a close lead over Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich. This race has not been decided because thousands of absentee ballots are still being counted.
- Georgia - Senator Saxby Chambliss leads Jim Martin 49.9% - 46.7% and absentee ballots are still being counted. My hitch is that Chambliss will win, but anything is possible.
- Minnesota - Senator Norm Coleman now leads Al Franken by only 342 votes. This is a close one and recounts are still being done. One can only hope that Franken wins.
