49-46 Gonna be a close one.

Fulton county is big county and went for Bush/Cheney 15 points. This county won’t report until tomorrow.

Bush/Cheney (Republican): 56.3%
Kerry/Edwards (Democratic): 41.2%

Clinton county has reported all votes. That is the most liberal part of NY-23. That’s where all Owens votes are.

[Don Corleone]

Still within the margin for SEIU and ACORN theft.

[Freddd]

Hoffman’s gonna win!

[Maine Mariner]

How active are those groups in upstate New York?

You have a very proud tag line. Congratulations!! I am proud of your son too. I thank him for his service, and pray for healthy twins!!

Something is REALLY fishy up there in the 23rd. Too big of a gap between the final polls and the results coming in. Too much of a swing for a district that went so big for Bush and, also, McCain...

[nathanbedford]

That's no way to steal an election, releasing your best precinct early.

If Hoffman was ahead by 105% ACORN could still figure out a way to steal it. :-)

[berdie]

I so wanted a hat trick.

Can it still happen?

[Freddd]

Karl Rove said it’s rural and would take hours, probably past midnight, and voting machine troubles, could be tomorrow before we know.

[DBrow]

I’m not worried. If it’s a close loss the RNC will spend whatever it takes for a dozen recounts. Isn’t that what they always do?

[SoldierDad]

Thank you - so far so good with the twins. Due date is February 18, but Doc says probably sometime in January.

[GeronL]

Looks like its been set up for vote theft, some county won’t report till tomorrow when they finish messing around.

IIRC, the counties still not completed have previously trended towards the right. In different words, the counties that were going to run with Owens have already reported.

If any Republican wins it means he had to win by a whole lot, a lot more than the numbers will show.

I still think Hoffman can win, but I blame the GOP organization for the loss. The fact that these morons were dumb enough to nominate a flaming liberal and sink $900K into her campaign only to have her endorse the other flaming liberal shows that they have no idea how to run things.
