Relax, only Republican areas left to count, I believe.

Too Close To Call

That must mean the Republican is ahead. If the DemocRAT were up by one vote, the media would call it a landslide and a mandate.

There are two active threads on the election results. Things are looking better than this story indicates.

Where are you getting that? (only REP left to count?) - From what I heard earlier today (and then posted on here as well - the REP inside poll showed them up by 10%....this appears to be off) - Considering with 75% reporting we are up by 2-4 pts.

"That must mean the Republican is ahead. If the DemocRAT were up by one vote, the media would call it a landslide and a mandate."

LOL - so true ... I got so mad last November when they kept calling the races for Dems on TV and I had to check the internet to know the Republican good news.

51% to 49% is good enough for me. The guys a vet and so the Dems tried to play that up, but in my book, being a party to the party of "Turban" Durbin, Boxer, Schumer, Kennedy, undermines any claim to 'service'.

The key with all early returns is which precints have come in and what were the past voting trends. Local experts are better at viewing the returns as they come in.

It is scary.
I expected it to be closer than expected, but this is bad. I cast my vote for Schmidt.
The problem is that Schmidt is a dull knife in the drawer, and Hackett is smart and pro military and pro gun.
Look for this message to rattle the Bushies.

The Eastern Cincinnati precincts are all in. Now it's on to heavily Republican Clermont, Brown, Adams and Scioto Counties.

She's ahead by 4% now and starting to pull away.

I have seen 91 percent in schmidt up by 700 and only clermont left.

Dummies are already talking recount.

This is what happens when you have a state run by RINO's.

I just got back from Arizona where the Arizona Repulsive's headline was "No one wins in Bolton Battle." (or something very close).

Translation: "Bush Wins." Your translation of this is exactly right. Schmidt wins.
