I believe Diebold only has machines in part of Ohio. Maybe it's not this district?

In either case, for Hackett to be leading in one of the reddest districts in an allegedly red state is an accomplishment in and of itself.

However if the numbers suddenly change when they get to the Diebold precincts, that's when the bloodhounds will be called in.

I'm sittin' here watching some good old country music with election results running across the bottom of the TV screen and Ford's info is more updated than this shit, lol.

But Alan Jackson is soundin' real good though, lol.

[FORD]

I'm taking my info right off the WCPO website. Don't know why the locals couldn't do that :confused:

Ken Blackwell says not to.

[FORD]

Interesting.... they haven't updated the numbers since 9:51 Ohio time.

Did Uncle Tom Blackwell order the counting stopped until he could "fix" the tabulators?

[FORD]

Reports now coming in that only Claremont County remains, and that the ballots are being counted by hand.

Bad news there is that it's apparently Schidt's home county.

Good news, I'm told, is that there are two UAW auto plants in the county.

Can anyone confirm or deny any of this?

[Cathedral]

One plant is a Toyota plant and the other is Nissan.
Fisher Body had two here. one down the street and the other in Norwood, but they're both gone.

That fucking bitch won, dammit.
But, on the bright side, Hackett put up a fight and that says a lot about the state of the Republican Party here in Ohio.

The Democrats may have some hope here in '08 depending on who the next candidate is.
If they are smart they will get off Bush's ass and focus on their campaign.
The time is now, better ralley the troops, brother.

[twonabomber]

yeah, there's a ZF transmission plant in Batavia, and a Ford transmission plant in Sharonville.

[twonabomber]

those must not be union plants Cat, they didn't mention anything on the UAW site.

[FORD]

Well listen to this bullshit.....

The hand counts were done because the "humidity" messed up the machines.

But only in Schidt's home county.

Right......

"Final results":

JEAN SCHMIDT 57,974 52%
PAUL HACKETT 54,401 48%

Real results: It's Ohio. Are you kidding.

And the result you won't read about in the paper.... A guy comes out of nowhere in a bright red district and gets at the very least a plurality of votes where the last Democratic opponent only got 28%.

That's a victory in and of itself and Paul Hackett should take that to the political bank. And come back next year after these people have had their fill of the Wicked Witch of Clermont County.

(No offense to Wiccans)

Duh, i know i'm tired now cause i have a friend that works at the BataviaTranny plant, and he's UAW.

But i don't think the Sharonville plant is in district 2.

Bedtime.................

You're right, it is a political victory.
He did good for your party, bro.

Now if the rest of the party can capitalize on that over the next year you may have a chance at rebuilding some support.

The funny part is that Bush has done a lot of the leg work for you, lol.

Actually it's NOT an advantage at all.

The BCE shit all over three Vietnam vets who ran against Junior. McCain and Gore in 2000, and Kerry in 2004. If Clark had been the nominee, his military record would have been savaged as well.

Kerry shit all over himself as many of his former Swift Boat comrads pointed out.
