It’s ok, you media types can call Va now.

Do you know whether that percentage falls outside the “automatic recount” trigger?

I’m thinking Romney could have muddied things a bit by asking for recounts in all states where the margin was less than 1%, but now that we’re looking at about a 2% difference, he might have to give up on that.
