In Missouri McCain has a lead of about 5,800 votes. There are about 7,000 provisional ballots that need to be verified or disallowed. That could take up to two weeks. But they’d have to go about 85% for Obama, so McCain will be the likely winner. Of course at that point, Obama could ask for a recount.
