Last Call

And it looks like with 100% of the precincts counted in the NY-20 special election that Democrat Scott Murphy has edged out Republican Jim Tedesco by a scant 65 votes, with 6,000 absentee ballots still left to be counted.

I wonder, should the final count favor Murphy, will Jim Tedisco keep an eternal recount going all the way until November 2010?

And does anybody else find it rather odd that Tedisco was basically at the courthouse motioning for an emergency court order to prevent Murphy from being declared the winner some nine hours before the polls closed, as if he knew this election would be contested?

Maybe that's just a fabulous coincidence.

Maybe fully grown palm trees come flying out of my ass every Thursday at a quarter to seven, too.
