Cleveland, Columbus, & Cincinnati have 0% returns in.

[Rick Myers]

1. Really?

That's serious!

[flowomo]

2. MSNBC has called it for Hillary...

sure, they could be wrong, but...

[tekisui]

10. They probably aren't wrong, but it could be much. much closer.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

3. Not according to CNN

They have 17% of Cincinnati, 80% of Columbus, 5% of Cleveland, and 20% of Toledo reporting. Clinton will win, by probably slightly more than 10%.

[demo dutch]

4. CNN called for Hillary as well!

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

13. That's what I'm saying

[demo dutch]

22. All right Pittsburg, on to PA!

[Botany]

5. latest data from Sec. of state

9. CNN has more of an idea of...

whats going on in Ohio than the state of Ohio does? Mmmm.

[Zynx]

6. They aren't the only source for votes.

I've seen Columbus' numbers. Not enough for Obama.

[RL3AO]

7. Obama will probably pull within 8-11%, but he won't win.

[ingac70]

12. He's within %6 right now. n/t

[spooky3]

26. not according to CNN - currently a 16 %-age point gap

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/

but will likely narrow per Botany when more urban votes are tallied

8. Sort of Reminds me

of 2000 when they called it for asshat early and people were still wrapped around buildings in Cuyahoga county waiting to vote at midnight.....

[Extend a Hand]

11. that bodes well for obama

district 03 is Montgomery county/Dayton. and obama is leading here.
Candidate / Issue % of Votes Number Of Votes
Obama, Barack (D) 58.46% 36,482
Clinton, Hillary (D) 40.46% 25,246
Edwards, John (D) 1.08% 673

:)

Montgomer county was blue in 2004 too!

[PFunk]

14. All he has to do is to get close.

Everyone (even his camp) knew he was going to lose the state anyway.

[Botany]

15. I live in Ohio

This is gonna get real close

the #s from those cities will push Obama big time

[VolcanoJen]

19. Totally. She's being crushed in the cities.

What the hell? I don't think this is going to look so shiny for Clinton in the morning.

But here in Cincinnati, we're a little confused watching this victory speech. Delegates, anyone? Count all the votes, anyone?

[Extend a Hand]

23. It's extremely worrisome

because a democrat is extremely unlikely to carry the rural Ohio counties in the general election.

[GetTheRightVote]

16. All I can say about it, is do they want all Dems to vote or what ?

I will not vote for this negative ad running, angry and ugly works candidate, her name is Hillary.

I for one am sick of the abuse Ms. Clinton is throwing Obama's way. She just needs to go home and stay there period. As for the Democratic party, you need to check this woman and put her in her place period.

I am sick, sick, sick of them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VolcanoJen]

30. Don't buy the hype. Negative campaigning doesn't work.

She could only make that argument had Obama been crushing her weeks ago in Ohio and she started with the negative crap and kicked his ass. That is not what is happening here. Not at all.

I find the most worrisome thing of all in the fact that the media is saying negative WORKS. It doesn't add up on a scratch pad. Can anyone do math anymore?

[Extend a Hand]

17. So far it looks like rural Bush counties

are going for Hillary.

[VolcanoJen]

18. I'm shaking my head in Ohio.

Columbus and Dayton, HUGE for Obama, 80% in.

Cincinnati and Toledo, HUGE for Obama, 20% in.

Cleveland can't report until tomorrow, but I'm positive they'll follow the big city trend.

Why am I watching Hillary Clinton give a victory speech in Ohio?

What the hell?

[OhioChick]

20. I'm Wondering the Same Thing....... n/t

[Botany]

24. Bookmark this thread my friend

Toledo also has 0% in.

Something stinks

[Hepburn]

27. Why am I surprised that something rotten is going on in Ohio.

BTW: I am a native Ohioan....so I am not picking on the state. But...with the big cities not reporting and suddenly, the Queen gets picked as the winner?

This does not pass the smell test.

[Blue_Roses]

28. good grief Ohio

[VolcanoJen]

29. Something is just rotten.

I'm not being a sore loser here... I figured Obama would close the 20% gap of three weeks ago, strong, finishing with a 3% deficit behind Clinton.

He still may. The cities, the cities, the cities. Obama will carry Cincinnati, where I busted my hump. That much is known. And Cleveland, our biggest city, can't report yet!

It's just... well... don't buy the hype. It's still the delegates. But I'm just confused by the temporary spin and that pathetic victory speech where she congratulated McCain, with nary a mention of Obama. It's just sad. It's not a good thing.

[SallyMander]

31. Cuyahoga County is showing 11% reporting

Is that just from the outskirts of the county? Have they really not started counting Cleveland? :wow:

[VolcanoJen]

32. You're right, Cleveland is starting to come in.

Obama very strong in Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati. C'mon, Cleveland!

[Hepburn]

25. I would love it if it turned out that call for the Queen was done in error!

That would be just toooooo fucking sweet after that traitor endorsed McCain.

I wonder if she has already asked Joe LIEberman to run as her VP.

[hell-bent]

34. Drink some more Kool-Aid

and report back to the Mother Ship for further instructions. :nopity:

[RiverStone]

33. Keep us posted Jen

We appreciate the REAL on-the-groud report and would love to hear any good news from your home in OH.

peace~ :hi:

[VolcanoJen]

35. Busted my hump working for Obama in Cincinnati.

With 41% reporting, we're beating Clinton 61% to 38%, so whatever we did down here seemed to have worked.

:-)

21. Bless your heart

Take some Sominex and keep Hope alive...........snore.
