My apologies if a thread already exists. I did a search on "Toomey" and found nothing.

I arrived at my polling area (suburban Philadelphia) at 6:45 am to hand out palm cards. The weather is terrific this morning, but turnout (I thought) was light (I had to leave at 9:15, but will be back).

Actually, I have a good feeling about Pat.

Toomey is doing very well tonight. ALMOST read to uncork the cheap Cold Duck---but not YET. Arlen Sphinctor's campaign people must be getting very nervous.

[Fledermaus]

Since Democrats are so stupid, I wonder how many of them will forget to register back.

ABC6 reporting NO ONE has left the Toomey head quarters Still a packed crowd there

So, is that a good thing? I hope so. The Gerlach race for Congress was bad like this. When I went to bed, Gerlach was toast. When I got up the next morning Jim was my new Congressman. Pat can still win!

If Specter wins, that will be the dem.

Zing!

Hopefully Toomey had more television ads in the other parts of the T than he did in Potter County. Specter ads were in heavy rotation; I didn't see a single ad for Toomey.

Don't pay attention to KQQL. They've been blowing hot air all night.

Geez .. another hour??

THis is killing me

[Revel]

Well we still have a chance of getting rid of Scottish law.

[CurlyBill]

If Specter somehow pulls this out, I hope it serves as a wakeup call to abandon his borderline Democrat tendencies. If not ..... well then GO TOOMEY!!!

[ConservativeMan55]

bump!

[Jened]

>According to PCNlive Toomeys people are guardedly optimistic and they think its at the least one more hour of counting.

thanks for the update. i'm going to bed then and hope to wake up with good news.

Does anyone besides me find it odd that the KDKA.com website list the Specter defeat just below the Sewar Bond vote?

[mrs9x]

Where did you find a map of the remaining precincts?

[Hildy]

I'm confused. What good does this do us if it's the Dems who are pulling this out? We'll lose the seat, even this liberal seat, to a Dem in November. Is that what you want or am I getting something wrong here?

[FBDinNJ]

I believe lancaster's all counted.

Toomey won it 50 to 37 I believe

[Petronski]

You're in the Buffalo tv market, aren't you?

[Revolting cat!]

Any hanging chads anywhere? Maybe Al Gore's legal team, on the dole since December 2000, could be persuaded to help us? The Senile citizens on the Supreme Court could go either way and not know the difference! Justa aideer!

By the way, Bucks county gave a 95,000 vote gift to Specter, that had to be retracted. It made me say some dumb stuff elsewhere. The official Penn site now has its own errors, when you can get in. This election is horror show to get accurate data.
