Of course, all of the ballots have been counted, but somehow tension mounts as the number of precincts reporting results approaches 100%.
Now, with 97% having been tallied by the McHenry, Lake and Cook County Clerks, Republican Joe Walsh is leading by 849 votes.
That’s as of just before eleven o’clock.

I notice ABC Channel 7 has noticed the closeness of the race.
Of course, its reporter is in Lake Barrington at the Melissa Bean event.
Joe Walsh’s party is at Mill Creek Banquets, 333 W. Mill Street in Wauconda.
I thought that was funny too. I thought about calling up the TV station to let them know they could probably make the party if they hurried – it wasn’t that far away!
