Feingold’s campaign manager, George Aldrich, is refusing to throw in the towel: “Russ is down by 80,000 votes, but . . . up to 1.4 million votes haven’t been counted,” Aldrich reportedly told a crowd of supports in Middleton, Wis.

“We are confident that this race is going to tighten, it is going to tighten quickly, and we may be in for a long night here,” he said.
