Vic: Labor candidate says he's not the 'man' yet
Labor candidate ROB MITCHELL says he's not prepared to claim victory in the Victorian
seat of McEwen .. despite having won by a tiny seven-vote margin.
Mr MITCHELL says he won't claim the seat .. until he gets a phone call from the AEC
saying they've declared him the winner.
Former tourism minister FRAN BAILEY .. who's held McEwen since 1996 .. will request a recount.
But the AEC's told ABC radio a recount won't happen automatically despite the tiny
margin .. the second closest in Australian history.
