Breaking from Fox News: Congressman Dave Reichert (R) defeats Darcy Burner (D).
Has anyone heard about JD Hayworth yet?????
Just heard it too...one less rat on Cap Hill..
Yes! Yes! Yes!!!
We Win!!!
Feels good to say it once this year...
Every little bit helps.
Finally some good news after a week of nonstop loathesomeness.
every seat counts. I think we won another one a few hours ago.
In WA state? A bag of votes will be found by tomorrow afternoon. Anyone want to take odds???
Hot diggity dog!
Oh, yes, I forgot about that.
Isn't over until every ballot found in every King County closet over the next month has been tabulated.
At last the Liberal cheats didn't stuff the voter boxes in this race. Or, perhaps, they didn't have enough bodies to count.
In King County no less.
With counting still continuing, Hayworth was last down by 5,817. He is closing the gap.
I'm sure Velvet Underground will be in WA to screw things up.
Thanks for posting the update link for JD
Ironically, in the early 80s the 8th District was created (gerrymandered, actually) to be a safe Republican district. I worked on a (losing) primary campaign in 1982 for the first election in that district. The area has been incredibly built-up since then.
I wonder how many more ballots they have to count? I wish some miracle would occur and Napolitano would lose.
Have the democrats already claimed the seat?
Hopefully Reichert can make it through the sure to come recount.....and if history means anything....well...it won't be good.....but, I'm crossing my fingers.
He's gotten about a hundred closer, and they are still counting, but it's still a long way to go.
The Marriage amendment got about a hundred closer as well, in the last 2000 votes counted, but it's got to pick up 49,000 more votes, so it's probably a lost cause.
Latest numbers for JD:
HAYWORTH: 82,485 - 46.8%
MITCHELL: 88,302 - 50.1%
SEVERIN: 5,578 - 3.2%
TOTAL: 176,365
US Rep Dst 5
100% (250 of 250) precincts reporting
REP - HAYWORTH, J.D. 3537 82485
DEM - MITCHELL, HARRY 3241 88302
LBT - SEVERIN, WARREN 166 5578
* these totals were updated 11-13-06 1st # are the early ballots counted so far. 2nd # current totals.
Great news! Congress just got a little redder!
And JD Hayworth's seat is still in play, except in the Blue media who couldn't tell the truth if they had to. Keep praying!
Rob Simmons (R-CT) has closed the gap to 66 votes. Hopefully they can find just a few more.
You mean for JD? MItchell has not said anything and I think he is waiting for the votes to be counted. Yet, AP called it early on for Mitchell. Fools.
I guess they decided not to count all those "look what we found!" ballots, like they did 2 years ago. I'm glad I don't have to say Darcy Burner is my congressman....er woman....er person.....critter?
Doesn't it seem funny that the elecion was a week ago, and in this day and age, they are still counting the votes???
Good question. I'm not sure.
Fantastic!
Still waiting on word about the CT. race in question as well. This is good news though.
It does.
What is even more wierd is I understand Oregon counts all votes by hand.
I think it was "too close to call."
See this for an explanation about the ballots:

So, with about what 65,000 votes to count as of last Thursday night...JD has a good chance then!
Thanks for the link, Hildy.
Hayworth got crushed.
I understand they reach a deal on how to count the ballots left in NM 1.
I was afraid that might be coming next.......I'm in the 8th district......and I don't want that nothingness representing me!!!! But, I'm sure the King County Dem machine is gearing up for a challenge!
Is that true.....why doesn't that surprise me....Fox reported this as a *final*.....with the Repub winning.
Have they really counted all of those 20,000 ballots? I heard at 5 pm tonight they still were not finished. Sorry but I am not sure yet.
One bag? They found several, all overstuffed, busted zippers and all! IF they had dared to count those, and it turned the election, there would be several people investigated. Of course, that should have happened in 04!
"Or, perhaps, they didn't have enough bodies to count."
That never stopped ACORN! Remember how the population of Milwaukee popped during the presidential re-election?
I remember hearing about all the absentee ballots. My question is how many races have significant numbers of ballots in the numerous close seats across America? Republicans tend to vote in higher numbers as absentee. Also I've not heard a lot about the Military vote has all of it been counted?
So is Reichert a conservative Republican or another RINO?
Doesn't Fox know you can't call a race here in Washington state until all the ballots are "counted", 'er I mean manipulated. Seriously, not all the ballots have been counted and we all know what that means. It's not over.
