McCain wins Missouri

(Update: Here's a newer story)

At least one website is saying that McCain's lead in Missouri is now larger than the number of remaining ballots.

The article was posted yesterday and listed McCain ahead by 4355 votes with 3159 remaining.

Currently, the MO SoS page lists McCain ahead by 3602 votes. By subtraction, there are 1458 ballots remaining, though it could be fewer if more ballots have been thrown out.

As much as I would love a recount, I would consider the chances of Obama requesting one to be near zero, even if he wouldn't have to pay for it (not sure if he would or not).

Side notes: Turnout is up 7% from 2.73M in 2004 to 2.93M in 2008. Bush won the Show-Me-State 53.3 to 46.1 in 2004, a margin of 7.20%. McCain has won the state by approximately 49.4 to 49.3, a margin of 0.12%.
