LOL! Dan Blather just said "kerry needs a 55 or 60 yard field goal to win. It can be done but it's hard."
OH Update
Bush nets 20,000 votes in Butler County, Cincinnati Suburb.
Bush nets 856 in NE Wayne County. Bush still up 1.7% in NE Ohio...waiting on more Cuyahoga.
Bush nets 1990 in Marion County, West Central
West Ohio...Bush nets 2,900 votes in Darke County.
Central Ohio...reports my Hawkeye, "Good news for Bush. Bush up significantly in the following counties: Clark +5 (big county) Greene +3 (big county) Ross +2.6 (med county) Down BIGTIME in Coshocton (9% down) but it's a really SMALL county. All of the other 16 counties in my group, Bush is doing better by about 1-3%. But these are smaller counties (but every vote counts). Maybe down by a fraction of a point in a couple small counties."
Bush holding his own in Dayton and Columbus, reports another Hawkeye: "Bush's percentage increase is about 1%. With 60% in Franklin (Columbus), Bush is ahead 50-49.5 -- he lost it 48-47 in 2000. With 73% in Montgomery (Dayton), Kerry is ahead 50-49 -- in 2000, Gore won it by 50-48."
Translation: Ignore Susan Estrich's spin. Overall, Bush is doing well across the board, except in the Ohio Valley, but we still have data problems down there...
Mrs. Horserace Blogger reports that MSNBC is "very blue" and Joe Scarborough is being "magnanimous."
