Slog - Comments on Burner-Reichert http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/burnerreichert The count goes on, with the race still too close to call. The latest tally: Reichert: 50.46 Burner: 49.54 What's going on is very similar to what happened last time around, when it took several days to sort out a winner and Reichert ultimately prevailed by 3 percentage points. The 8th Congressional District sits in both King and Pierce Counties and—also like last time—the King County votes are breaking somewhat in favor of Burner while the Pierce County votes are breaking heavily in favor of Reichert. Burner will need to really run up the numbers in King County in order...

The internet is a race. Will someone please beat me? (so I can beat off)

It's so depressing when people get brainwashed into voting against their economic self-interest.

POOR PEOPLE: YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THE LOTTERY. THE TOP MARGINAL RATE WILL NEVER BE A PROBLEM FOR YOU. DITTO ESTATE TAXES. GET WITH THE FUCKING PROGRAM.

She is now trailing by 5,300 votes. There are still a lot of votes to count, but this is not an encouraging trend.

11:30pm update at http://vote.wa.gov/elections/wei/Results.aspx?ElectionID=26&JurisdictionTypeID=3&ViewMode=All

Reichert: 123,585
Burner: 118,253
