With 98% of the votes reported, Eric Massa holds a lead of a little more than 4,000 votes. That's a slightly smaller number than Kuhl's victory margin in 2006. Kuhl's margin stood after the absentee ballots were counted, and I assume that will be the case with Massa's margin.
Eric Massa will represent the 29th district in the 111th Congress. Congratulations to the Massa campaign.

My Lord. I wouldn't have imagined this possible. Congratulations to the Massa folks. Remarkable.
Hope I'm not premature - Congratulations to a real gentleman, Eric J. J. Massa and the campaign team!
I am writing from GA. I am so totally thrilled that Eirc has won. He worked his heart out for this victory. He ran a totally impressive campaign, heart, soul, and everything else. I didn't have a lot of $$ to donate, but Eric was at the top of my list. Watched him via Howie's Blue America posts, way back when he came close the first time.

Great news! It's been quite a night.
I too would like to add my congratulations,
....and, of course, it was a win so well deserved. Many thanks not only to a spectacular candidate who will make a wonderful Representative, and also a passel of smart, hardworking and dedicated staff and volunteers. Well done.
