8. Oh Fuck!

I'm nervous as HELL!!!!!! I need a Democrat within ear shot of my town!

[meganmonkey]

11. Hey you!

Are you planning on going to DC for the protest?

[liberalnurse]

16. I'm seriously thinking about it.

Thats around the 24th right?????? I sure need to take some time off.

[meganmonkey]

21. Yep - It is the 24th-26th

The main march is the 24th, but there are other events/actions for a couple days. I just my vacation request approved - I am taking the Friday before and the WHOLE WEEK after off! (Just in case I land in jail - hee hee)
on edit: nominate thie thread!

[liberalnurse]

24. Oh no....you can't go to jail!

Hey, I'll bail you out! You can always get out on a Sheriff's release after a few hours.

Since you are going, I'm inspired to commit. I might not even have to use any vacation time....I'm off every other Fri, Sat and Sun. I am OFF that weekend!!!!!!

No excuse now!

[meganmonkey]

29. Hey, send me a PM

if you decide to go - I'll probably be booking a room soon and if you want to get one together...

It'd be fun!

:bounce:

[liberalnurse]

34. I'll PM you soon....

[Hokie]

12. They will steal it

Mark my words.

[meganmonkey]

10. This doesn't look like the same numbers:

http://www.daytondailynews.com/localnews/content/localnews/daily/0802congress1web.html

4,008 Schmidt
3,072 Hackett

(it won't let me cut/paste text ? )

[Skink]

15. Is this for Secretary of State maybe?

what's all the fuss?:yoiks:

[meganmonkey]

17. This is for US Congress

It's an honorable, patriotic Democrat Iraq War Vet running against a dirty rich repuke with no morals

Well, I may be a little biased ;)

[Massacure]

18. Schmidt was ahead early in the counting.

It has turned around in the last 30-40 minutes though.

[Fly by night]

19. With 305 of 753 precincts reporting, it's Hackett 51-49.

Here's another link reporting the vote totals:

http://www.wcpo.com/news/2005/local/08/02/election_results.html

It's certainly too early for celebrating, but we should all keep our fingers and toes crossed. And hope for a non-repeat of 11/04. Because at this point in the 2004 Presidential election (and up until 11:00 pm when Turd Blossom electronically mobilized his "invisible grassroots" voters in Ohio (the non-flesh-and-blood kind)), Kerry was ahead in Ohio by 52% to 48%.

Come on, Hackett. Kick Republi-Nazi ass and take their names. They will come in handy at the Hague.

[Bill Bored]

23. Well Hackett's got one thing gong for him:

He doesn't have a purple heart!

[Fly by night]

25. I also believe they vote on punch-cards in OH-2, so ...

... there is something to recount when they try to steal this one also.

If Hackett loses, Ohioans need to show up tomorrow and demand an immediate recount, before Turd Blossom's minions impregnate some unintended chads. Again, if we get there quickly and demand immediate action, we can condomize TB's chad-impregnators.

20. Also heard on Air Amer:

Schmidt (how come so many of these Ohio Repukes have GERMAN surnames anyway?), the opponent, was handing out free nail files at a polling place in Clermont county and was asked to leave, but did not.

[meganmonkey]

22. I hope someone has it on video!

Or at least cell-phone pictures!

Nail files, of all things... *shakes head*

[Fly by night]

26. Maybe it's to help them saw through the bars of their jail cells, ...

... the ones that many Republi-Nazis should have been in for quite some time now.

[meganmonkey]

27. mydd is requesting infr on Clermont County Machines..

..in relation to the results...

"Find out whatever you can about Clermont Count voting machines. Do it now."

[Fly by night]

28. Hackett now down 52%-48%, with two-thirds of precincts reporting.

[meganmonkey]

30. It's back to 50-50

At 662 of 753 precincts reporting

according to the GD: P thread

[Bill Bored]

31. Maybe we need a 2005 ER&D Forum! nt

[meganmonkey]

32. PROBLEMS IN CLERMONT!?

Machine problems due to humidity?

:wtf:

From GD: P thread - no link, may be rumor... It is definitely the last county turning in numbers.

[mod mom]

33. I got a call from someone in DC last night worried about Clermont.

They are holding back counites like they did with Warren on Nov 2. they are trying to figure just how much to pad it.
