Harmer STILL won't concede to McNerney, even though ALL the votes have been counted

Has anyone ever seen this guy and Norm Coleman in the same place at the same time?

With all of the votes finally counted Tuesday in his East Bay congressional district, Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney was leading Republican David Harmer by 2,658 votes - but Harmer still hasn't conceded.

McNerney, D-Pleasanton, tallied 115,361 votes, or 48 percent, according to California's secretary of state. Harmer had 112,703, or 47 percent. David Christensen, an American Independent candidate, had 12,439 votes, or 5 percent.

McNerney squeaked by Harmer by 92 votes in Contra Costa County Tuesday, which was the last of four counties in the sprawling 11th Congressional District to certify its results. Harmer won in the more conservative San Joaquin County, but lost in more liberal Alameda and Santa Clara counties....

"I don't know if this warrants a recount - it's not really that close," Weir said of the 1 percent difference in the 240,503 ballots cast.

Perhaps Harmer hasn't conceded because he's feeling under the weather? Well then, better call him a...



Sobering reminder: Without the preasence of far-right candidate Christensen, McNerney would've been toast. :scared:

1. (insert "harm" joke here)

Get lost, Dave, the registrar (Weir) doubts that you have any hope.

4. driving home from Modesto tonight

I saw a huge Harmer billboard on the side of the road. "Harmer" was in white and someone had spray painted the E and R black. :)

2. Nice to see that AI destroyed the Repub.

Credit to Cooley too, for being a mensch about it, as Ms Harris said.

3. Good thing his lack of concession has no effect except

to make him look like a douche.
