Former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona conceded on election night last Tuesday to six-term U.S. Congressman Jeff Flake after about three quarters of precincts had reported, showing Flake with a lead of about six percentage points.

But nearly a week later, with more than 340,000 ballots yet to be counted, the tally has tightened to about four points, leaving the Carmona campaign watching closely to ensure that each and every ballot is counted.

The most recent results show Flake in the lead by 79,547 votes in a race in which 2 million ballots were cast.

As of Monday afternoon, the Secretary of State's office reported that an estimated 171,889 early votes and 171,047 provisional ballots had yet to be tallied statewide.

When you get a clearance, you sign a notarized consent document giving the FBI permission to investigate you at anytime. It's not illegal to have an affair. Nothing he did, that we know of, is illegal ... But he did jeopardized his clearance and has no choice to resign since his clearance will be revoked.

Plus isn't one of the problems the fact that he didn't disclose the affair at the time of the clearance?

So now the government is supposed to believe him when he says "Oay, yeah, I lied back then that there wasn't anything to disclose, but I'm TOTALLY telling the truth now when I say everything is out there."

PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona woman, in despair at the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama, ran down her husband with the family car in suburban Phoenix on Saturday because he failed to vote in the election, police said on Monday.

Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested after running over husband Daniel Solomon following a wild chase that left him pinned underneath the vehicle.

Daniel Solomon, 36, was in critical condition at a local hospital, but is expected to survive, Gilbert police spokesman Sergeant Jesse Sanger said.

Police said Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his "lack of voter participation" in last Tuesday's presidential election and believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.

She's right. It has already started. Her husband is in the hospital.

The tally hasn't tightened. When he conceded he was trailing by about 80k votes. He's still down 79,547 votes.
