I should have broken it all out - hindsight and all.

Next time I'll omit the town council races from DE

Alaska - ADN is reporting that the majority of the early uncounted ballots should be counted by tomorrow evening. Final accounting is scheduled for Nov. 19.

MN - In recount. Should be settled by Dec. 1

If you all want to settle this, let me know, and I will. I need permission from:

[I have sent a private message to all outstanding betters and am awaiting their answer.]

FYI, if settled now, I will state that Coleman will win the MN senate race, which resolves all unsettled bets.

So, do we get paid interest for #14 and #43 taking so long to pay off?

Obama got 1 EV in NE. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081114/...Dp4IF5i5ph24cA

At 365. Even if he takes 11 in MO, I win #15. Right?

Correct. The only outstanding bets at this point are who wins the MN senate race and if the DNC will get 60 seats in the Senate.

If MN is settled for Coleman, I can close this bet.

The Alaskan senator's race has been called for Begich.

MN Race - Manual Recount begins tomorrow. Coleman is leading by 211 votes.

After 40% of the ballots have been recounted, Coleman's lead is now down to 136.
