Machine votes are going Chtristine, absentee are breaking Castle.

[Mountain Mary]

8 percent reporting. O’Donnell 57% to Castle 42%,. YAY!

[ducttape45]

Easy folks, it’s still early with larger precincts yet to report in. Let’s wait until the trend has been established before claiming victory.

[freespirited]

It’s a closed primary.

MICHAEL N. CASTLE 1895 100 1995 47 . 7 %
CHRISTINE O’DONNELL 2120 66 2186 52 . 3 %

[Genoa]

25 reporting, tightening, still O’D 52 / 47.

[RachelFaith]

OK, tell us when it is New Castle. Because then we will HAVE a trend. Right now, they could be sandbagging and holding back.

[onyx]

Oh boy... oh boy!

[Chuck54]

OK, who do ‘we’ want to win the R side in NH?

North georgia checking in.

No not USSR, but USA.

OK everyone. Here is my famous treatises on Election Results, Sampling and Trends.

First rule: Trends hold and never break. If they DO break, it is usually cheating or some very unusual occurrence.

Second rule: If the voting seems to be coming in across the region and not an isolated pocket, you can call it by 10% in most times and by 25% in ALWAYS.

Third rule: Any difference greater than 2% cannot be cheated and any difference greater than 5% will never be overcome.

Miracles do not happen in politics. If we are leading, we have won. If we are not leading we have lost. We will know very very early unless it us closer than 2%.

Are the precincts that have reported from Sussex County?

[onyx]

Hold that trend!
Looking GOOD!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Absentee votes already reported, so if they are breaking Castle, and the trend is Christine is getting more votes from the machines, that’s a good sign, right?

[True Grit]

He would probably just endorse the Dem and get some posh job in the Obama Administration.

He might be finished. His @$$ has been exposed to where no one may want him around.

[Fishtalk]

2087-Urquhart-52%
1875-Rollins-46%

768-Booth

O'Donnell     3377

[RachelFaith]

The REAL good news is she leads in Absentees too. That’s always a tell tale if something is amiss.
