Like the John Hiatt Bonnie Raitt song, the 29th's race is giving the media "a little something to figure out".
The Rochester City News blog is on the case with coverage of Massa's first public statement since the election. He says he'll accept the results once the election is certified. Kuhl's spokesman says "it's time to move on". In the Elmira Star-Gazette, Kuhl is shocked and dissapointed, while area Democrats say that waiting for the final canvass won't hurt Massa's political career.

Do you know it takes $.69 to mail the absentee ballot? I have to tip my hat to anyone who contacted the local boards of election, took the ballot home, or to college, or where ever they voted, vote, then placed 2 stamps on the ballot, and, making sure they were not too late, mail it.
Thhey all need to be counted.
23 Americans dies THIS MONTH to force this right onto the people of Iraq. Why are we afraid to use our rights.
Use them or lose them.
Just to give credit where credit is due ... I believe that is a Bonnie Raitt song.
Milo - you're right about the song. I was thinking of "crazy thing called love" which was a Hiatt song that Raitt covered. No more music references!
Rich - ever since 9/11 I vowed to vote in every goddam election from dogcatcher on up. So I understand what you're saying. But those votes would be counted no matter what.
Actually I think John Hall wrote it when he was in Hall & Oates.
touche, james...
My comment from the other thread: Also, when I was out talking to people, several proudly told me that they were helping or encouraging their snowbird inlaws or their exchange student children to get an absentee ballot. It was very important to them and they were proud of it. With our dismal voting %'s, I think that we need to make sure we do our absolute best to encourage participation. People believing that their ballot could make a difference is not a bad thing.
I think the title of the John Hiatt song (covered by Bonnie Raitt) is actually just "Thing Called Love." "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is a Queen song, covered by Dwight Yoakim in a gap commercial.
Just doing what I can here to set you philistines straight.
