Polls close at 7:30pm ET
POTUS alone cannot drag these candidates over the finish line....especially considering all of the fronts he’s fighting...even our own...day in, day out.
I’d like to know exactly how much the GOP - yes, that’s YOU Lyin Ryan - have invested in GOTV, in OH, compared to the DNC.
I think in Ohio if we had anyone but Kasick we could have won. He’s bad news. A rino who openly hates trump and wants our side to lose. In many ways he’s worse than a dem governor.The meida has had one field day after another using him. If there was a dem gov. in Ohio our side would most likely have won.
Keep telling yourself that.

Whatever the outcome it’s worth remembering that Joe Manchik’s politics are very different than O’Connors—it’s unlikely his voters would’ve voted for Danny. #OH12 #OhioSpecialElection

“now it’s just barely above the state average and trending rapidly in the wrong direction.”
If the outstanding precincts are in the northern part of the county, that could bode well for the R ... we’ll see shortly I suspect.
DE county isn’t pulling the margins for Troy that we need, although Franklin county is pretty lopsided for the donk but almost all counted. Going to be a razor thin margin one way or the other.
A special election in one district, this close! doesn’t prove anything no matter who wins it. Good night!
Watch out for the walking dead should this happen.
No the Rats are running the 2006 “I’m an old style Blue Collar Democrat and I will have nothing to do with those nasty Washingtnn Swamp dwellers” in these red and purple areas. They lying their way to wins just like they did in 2006.
Meanwhile the GOPE is running the same old Chamber of Commerce approved drones.
the GOPE isn’t even in the fight. The only reason this wasn’t a landslide is Trump is at least fighting for these seats
Praying, dear weston!!
Agree!
There must be serious lawyering going on in the Delaware precincts.
I hate the NYC Pravda bureau as much as anyone on this site, but their election coverage is outstanding.
I really like LS. Can’t wait to read his FL analysis......hint, hint.

O’Conner had some of his big districts come in. That gave him the lead. There are 80+ precincts in red Delaware yet to come in. About 13 in blue Franklin to come in.
Corgis are the BEST! (Mine is curled up next to me)
Very few precincts left in Franklin.
Half the precincts left in Delaware.
Balderson will pull ahead in Delaware. Only reason Delaware is close is because of the early vote for O’Connor.
Except when confirming conservative judges in the Senate, RINO’s are worse than dems in the long run. Thank god we got an outright Socialist House takeover threat in November.
Trump likely saved this seat.
