RW stooge Charlie Cook gives up the game
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 12:16 AM by Gabi Hayes
those of you familiar with Charile Cook, supposeldy neutral capitol hill analyst, should take heart in his pre-election take on the meaning of tonight's election theft.

please realize that, in a real world, this would mean deep sh** for the fascist party, but such realistic analysis will likely soon disappear, given the "landslide mandate" achieved once more by the Weimarfascist Party

''Bottom line: Schmidt, the Republican, is still favored to win the election, but don't rule out the possibility of an upset, given the vagaries of August special election voter turnout and the problems unique to Ohio this year. But even assuming a GOP win tonight, the margin of victory can give us some insight into just how radioactive the governor's troubles and the "time for a change" sentiment in the state will be for other Republicans in the Buckeye State next year. If Schmidt's victory margin is in double digits, this tells us that there is not much of an anti-GOP wind in Ohio right now. If the margin is say six to nine points for Schmidt, then there is a wind, but certainly no hurricane.

A Schmidt win of less than five points should be a very serious warning sign for Ohio Republicans that something is very, very wrong, while a Hackett victory would be a devastating blow to the Ohio GOP.
