Faux patriotism is so Global War On Terror.

[Connie_Corleone]

68. It's for PFC Matt Maupin...still missing in Iraq.

[Raiden]

5. I hope we don't get let down again!!

Just let us win this one GOD!!

[DaveinMD]

It will be a good sign if Hackett gets 45 percent.

[Raiden]

But it would be so sweet if he won this one! Can you say UPSET!! :bounce:

[dbonds]

[usregimechange]

What has been the best county for the dems? Any blue?

[Guaranteed]

69. Well, it looks like Warren and Clermont will be the worst.

Both were 70%+ for Bush.

Hamilton should be our best- Bush only got 52% there. It's also the largest county, by FAR.

[Sean Reynolds]

[elperromagico]

62. In the 2004 Congressional race, Brown voted like this:

Portman (R) 13,796 72%
Sanders (D) 5,293 28%

[tridim]

12. Where'd you get that link?

It's on the Triad site.

[Raiden]

15. What a great start!!!

Let's just keep it up!!!

:bounce: :kick: :kick:

[matt819]

22. True, it's a start. . .

but you reall have to marvel at the good voters of Ohio, who are more prepared to vote for a chickenhawk (of any gender) than for a for-real soldier who has served his country in the way that Hackett has. Do they not see the disconnect? If elected, Hackett will be the only one of 535 people in congress to have served in Iraq, and not just visited on a rushed and heavily protected official visit to secure locations, and probably one of only a small handful who have served in the military in recent years.

Our fingers are crossed.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Nice!

Already doing very well! Go Hackett!!!

[GeorgeBushytail]

92. I think that's just absentee ballots

Only 1.57 percent of the total registered voters counted.

16. For god sakes - how can someone over or under vote with

only one thing on the ballot?

[wakeme2008]

21. There is a couple local tax issues on the ballot. nt

[DURHAM D]

35. Ok - but this has still got to be a very short ballot. Just hope

the three bad votes were for Schmidt.

[Pirate Smile]

53. I think this is what is on the ballot. At least this is what WCPO shows.

24. school & road levies

There are a couple of other things on some ballots. But this will be a good measure of those under and over votes too I think.

[Catch22Dem]

25. I believe there are also local ballot initiatives as well

[Guaranteed]

39. Yes, I think in just 19 precincts, though. nt

31. Absentee I betcha

[LSparkle]

34. Are those the first ones to be counted or the last?

Hopefully you're right -- absentees are probably more likely to be R ...

[mtnester]

Almost always first

[skids]

42. Probably.

Brown had theirs up as "unofficial" but then changed the cnavss to say "absentee" Likely the same thing here.

[Guaranteed]

33. Bush had 52.5% in Hamilton. nt

[yankeefanatic3]

38. WCPO site VERY unreliable

Half an hour after the polls close and no results posted yet.

[wakeme2008]

41. Look HOW CLOSE it is!!!!

Within 10 points ...

[ChiciB1]

43. There's Only One Word... If he Loses!!

We all know what that word is!!

Well, maybe two words... The first starts with an F and the second word is YOU!!

[jillan]

49. I thought you meant F for fraud! nt

[FrenchieCat]

50. There are a few words that I would have.....

The GOP Don't support our Troops

[Bumblebee]

54. NO, THE TWO WORDS ARE -- MANUAL RECOUNT!

[Bumblebee]

59. I am from WA state, you see... :)

[Rainscents]

99. Bumlebee... Me too!!! ;-)

[elperromagico]

67. Hamilton voted for Portman (the Republican)

70-30 in 2004.

[jillan]

46. Did anyone hear him on Randi??

Wow!

Congress won't know what hit them.

I can't take it-I've got knots in my stomach..
c'mon Paul!!!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

48. blah blah blah, what does this all mean?

[FrenchieCat]

51. Nothing much yet...beyond the fact that it's closer than

what it should be......but we need more data!

[mtnester]

52. If you are not interested, I suppose there are other places to post

or maybe not

:shrug:

[GOPNotForMe]

55. This "silence" is killing me!

I need something! Anything! I just keep sitting here hitting refresh.

[skids]

58. Take some screen snapshots.

Just in case. That will keep you occupied.

[LSparkle]

60. Me too -- or trying the links on the main page

No change ... !!!!!!!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

61. sounds way familiar.

I keep hitting refresh over and over and over.

[terrya]

66. Apparently, Hackett just won Brown County.

From a post at GD. :-)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4246233

[Guaranteed]

72. He didn't. Those were absentee.

There weren't nearly enough votes, anyway- the total votes for Brown in November was almost 20,000.

[The King]

78. only absentee votes in Brown counted so far

the other thread jumped the gun calling Brown.

[Nickster]

57. GO MAJOR HACKETT!!!!!

We sooooo need someone like him. This is a start people, this is a start.

[usregimechange]

64. Take a look at the 2004 results, Pike Co and Scioto Co, split

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/OH/P/00/

[usregimechange]

70. As I analize those results Scioto is the best place to pick up blue votes

We have to win Scioto county.

[usregimechange]

Clermont Co, is the one that will kill us, looks like Cincy suburbs

[usregimechange]

71. self delete

[Catchawave]

65. Wheee-Hooooo....

We're all from Ohio tonight!

:grouphug:

Good luck Paul Hackett :kick:

[Vox_Reason]

73. GO PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

The odds are long, but we're all pulling for you.

Will Republicans elect someone tainted by an ethics scandal instead of someone who's gone and put boots on the ground in Iraq?

It speaks volumes.....

[wicket]

74. Absentee Ballot results:

From Swing State Project:

http://www.swingstateproject.com/2005/08/oh-02_election.php

RESULTS Hackett Schmidt
Absentees 1,629 1,964

[Cocoa]

77. is that a final on the absentees?

?

[cally]

83. That's Hamilton County

and there's a post on Swing States site that indicates this is terrific results because these went for * in a much higher percentage. I hope poster is correct.

[EugeneVDebs]

75. Disgusting

Has anyone seen what the lowlives over at FreeRepublic are saying about Hackett?

Absoloutely abominable.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

80. Who gives a shi'ite?

They're the Hitlers of the internet. I choose not to worry about 'em.

[JimmyJazz]

82. That's not possible. They are supposed to leave the soldier bashing to us

How dare they step on our territory! :silly: :sarcasm:


Welcome to DU :hi:

[EugeneVDebs]

100. Thanks

I've been lurking here while at work for about a year now. Finally gave in and registered. I know how addicted these bulletin boards can become.

So far they've labelled Hackett a coward, crybaby, slime, menace, and a disgrace among other things.

Really shows their true colors. "Support The Troops" my ass.

[brucefan]

91. Nope

don't care

[elperromagico]

76. Complete County results for 2004 Congressional race can be found here:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004//pages/results/states/OH/H/02/county.000.html

Use them as a point of comparison, if you like.

[usregimechange]

79. It looks like Hacket won Brown Co. anyone confirm this?

http://66.241.236.181/elect/ohbrown/results.txt

if so he may win the district as Brown is solidly Rep.

[usregimechange]

81. Wait, that isn't enough votes but it says 100% of 35????

[FW_]

85. 1.57%

If so voter turnout was 1.6%

[sniffa]

86. 35 of 35

:bounce:

[TheFarseer]

95. nearly 20,000 voted in the presidential election

less than 500 for this seems a bit light.

[usregimechange]

106. Ok, but he is WINNING Brown, by 58%!

[yankeefanatic3]

84. Yes, Brown goes for Hackett --- boy these result sites are SLOW! nt

[yankeefanatic3]

94. Okay...but this slowness is frustrating nt

[GeorgeBushytail]

87. I think that's just absentee ballots

Look at the number of votes:

REGISTERED VOTERS - TOTAL . . . . . 29,220
BALLOTS CAST - TOTAL. . . . . . . 460
VOTER TURNOUT - TOTAL . . . . . . 1.57

[skids]

88. Just absentees. We have a long night to go folks.

Don't plan on going to bed tonight if you really want to be really really sure who won.

[ChiciB1]

89. I Can Not Stand This!!

Schmidt reminds me so much of my representative CRUELLA THE WITCH!! But she's even more shrill! What a mish-mosh they're gonna have if he loses, but only loses by itty-bitty!!

Kick Ass Time!!!

[indy_azcat]

90. look at the upper right corner: ABSENTEE RESULTS

they aren't that fast in the farmlands.

[skids]

They are starting normal ballots now for brown,

Ignore the "35 of 35" it is wrong. Wait for the "UNOFFICIAL RESULTS" to change to FINAL

PAUL HACKETT (DEM) . . . . . . . 1,480 58.45
JEAN SCHMIDT (REP) . . . . . . . 1,048 41.39

[gasperc]

93. those are only absentee ballots

the real vote numbers will be out of Clermont and Hamilton counties(about 150kvotes in general) Brown will only turn out a few thousand BUT it could decide the race, any body's vote could decide the race

[yankeefanatic3]

Where does it say "Absentee ballots?"

http://66.241.236.181/elect/ohbrown/results.txt I don't see it anywhere on here...not in the upper right corner or anywhere.

[DoYouEverWonder]

102. If Hackett wins the absentee vote

then he's got the election.

111. Whether he wins or loses

I`m grateful for his efforts. Limbaugh can rant against Hackett all he wants. I know the difference between a man with deep, personal conviction and a fake Rambo blowhard who thinks using torture as comic material is serving his country.

[Rainscents]

114. Is Hamilton County is where Cincinnati is?

[usregimechange]

119. Yep, but looked like no 2nd district votes from hamilton to me

[tinfoilinfor2005]

116. hold on...the darkest hours are before the dawn...

[David Zephyr]

I don't know if my heart can take this.

I didn't want to get my hopes up, but Hackett has really won my heart and mind and, yes, my emotions, too.

Come on, Ohio!

[jenmito]

123. Air America just got a call...

A voter said Jean Schmitt was standing outside a polling station giving out nail files with her name. When the voter told the workers inside they said they'd get rid of her but she was still there later! The voter said she'd been going around to different polling stations all day!
