7. Exactly. Republican turnout was depressed because she is such |
|
a pitiful candidate, Ohio GOP is scandal-ridden and corrupt and Bush's #'s have dived - although not that much with Republicans.
That fact that it was this close is amazing for this district.

the people in Ohio, and for that matter in the whole country deserve EXACTLY what they are getting
the close numbers mean NOTHING!!!
The numbers were close in 2000 and 2004
screw it!!!
In 7 to 10 years when people wonder why they can't afford to send their kids to college, can't afford to retire, can't afford healthcare, and are watching their children getting killed in a civil war in Iraq, I will ask them two questions, who did you vote for in 2000, and who did you vote for in 2004

5. The biggest drop seems to be Republican voters |
|
OK - it's not a regular election, but gee whiz, Rpepublicans in OH-2 weren't very enthusiastic.
I wish more Sanders voters had turned out, but this looks very bad for Republicans everywhere - not just Ohio.

8. Hackett polled about 30K behind Sanders .... BUT |
|
Schmidt polled about 170K behind Portman.
So even though the turnout was down from 2004, THAT was a presidential election and the out year elections are always down. This being a Special Election takes the turnout down even more.
But I had heard that expections were around 50-60K turnout -- and it was about double that.

13. And 234,000 Rs didn't, either. |
|
Now, I don't really know how many Republicans didn't get out today, but I do know that this disrict was recently redrawn by them, with populous Cincinnati as its heart, simply because it has for a long time been so conservative.
