My read on the Ohio election...
If the Repub gets less than 60% of the vote, it is a good indicator for Democrats. Considering that Rob Portman, a Republican but no giant thinker, won his last election with almost 70% of the vote, a drop-off for the Republican this time may indicate a lack of enthusiasm for Republicans for Congress.

It would be nice to see Hackett win, but it's really an uphill battle, considering the history of the District. I hope I don't see any anti-Hackett pieces on FOX or CNN around noon or 1 pm today, in an attempt to dissuade voters that vote later in the day. They have a habit of doing that.

1. They just did it.
They said that district voted 73 percent for Bush, so there was no way Hackett could win.

CNN. :grr:

2. that district
was sooooo dirty! Remember KO about the terrorist warning so they
had to lock down the vote count? That was Warren County. If
they count the votes fair Hackett will win. But i predict that exist polls
will show Hackett wining but that witch will get the vote.

4. The Dems know how dirty this district is now
Maybe they already have, in place, some people to challenge this if they try it again.

5. From first hand experience ......
.... the theft will come in a new way this time. Even more undetectable.
Problem in Ohio was we were ready for a Florida 2000 type election scam but
"they" had moved on. Rove uses little races like this to fine tune his evil arts.


That district also had an unknown African American Women running for
Ohio Supreme Court Justice getting more votes then John Kerry but
her repug counterpart got thousands less then bush.

6. I think the election fraud will be more sophisticated.
Rather that adjust the final total you could just add lines into the code to have every fourth Hackett vote converted to Republican.
