Just curious. I like him, actually, so if he somehow wins he can stick around and I won't mind. But I don't see that happening barring an absentee landslide.
Begich won the non-election day vote buy about 10% in 2008.
There are (reportedly) about 25,000 uncounted votes so Begich "should" gain +/- 2500 votes from the outstanding ballots.
He is about 8000 votes behind so it does not look good.
That being said, Labor Unions, environmentalists, etc poured a sh*tload of money into GOTV, so who knows.....
Apparently Alaska was a $60 million dollar race in a state of under 600,000 people... that is... mind numbing actually
