Has anyone seen any polls?
I was just thinking that. Instead of settling for merely weakening Schmidt, they'll come tantalizingly close to outright victory, their excitement going through the roof.... and THEN lose. They'll never stop screaming. :)
(Yes, I'm worried about these numbers too.)

The ONE thing that is constant stressed in any 12 step program is NO serious relationships for the first 12 months. Rush didn't adhere to that. I wish him all the best..
If I read this right, most of the early votes are coming in from Hackett's best counties, e.g Mt. Healthy, Brown, and a few others. Most of Schmidt's best precincts have yet to report.
I think I should be worried
What about the turnout?
Are absentee ballots included yet?
Said he'd always wanted to go to the South of France and never been, so he decided to go. Went on to Rome because of his fascination and interest in the history, and ancient ruins, then to Venice at the suggestion of others, and was glad he'd gone.

"Jean Schmidt will win"
Yeah, BUT will the Harlan Fire levy pass? I'm on pins and needles.......LOL!

We'll be fine, it will be closer than we want. But if the best thing that the D's have left is a special election close race with a fake Dem running against a non-incumbent woman (I know nothing about her), then let them think that they are back. They aren't learning any valid lessons here. This is not a Hillary dry run imho.

I don't know but people are writing in other candidate names: Bob McEwen and Tom Brinkman. Local Republicans are taking their anger out on Bob Taft tonight. If Hackett wins he'll be toast in November 2006.

I can't believe that majority Republican district would elect a creep who refers to the president as "that SOB in the White House." His ad implying GWB supported him was indeed despicable. Did the national GOP do anything to counter this, and come to Schmidt's aid? If she loses it will be very embarrassing and of course the media will be screaming their claims about what a political disaster this is for GWB.
try this:

don't know how up to date it is, but it's results county-by-county.
Not from Ohio, so I don't know much about the race, but Schmidt is getting her butt kicked in every county but 2. Not a good sign.
but the point is he shouldnt win or even be within 10.
I remember special elections in 1993-94, were the GOP won seats away from DEMS one after another..this doesnt bode well for 2006..sorry but it doesnt
Any way of knowing if this represents mostly the more Democrat disticts or the Republican ones?
Not necessarily. I think some protest-voters will be surprised how resilient an incumbent can be even when he is seemingly in the wrong party for the district.
