Squeaker
It looks like the South Dakota at large election is turning into a real squeaker. I think Stephanie Herseth will probably hold on to the lead though (right now it's 51-49). A couple of Republican counties where her opponent can expect to get 60% or so have yet to report but two solidly Democratic counties, where Herseth can expect close to 90% haven't reported either.
I will say this, it is not fun waiting for counties to report their election results, especially if you are losing. Late into returns the numbers are literally so overwhelming that it's hard for one little county (even if it is a big county, in Georgia's case DeKalb in the 2002 elections) to reverse a trend. I'm told that Tim Johnson eked it out at a similar stage that year and he was behind. Herseth is currently ahead and I think she'll be ok.
