Dean's first big victory as chair of the DNC? He should at least get some credit.

It shouldn't have been nearly this close. This may not be a loss, but it's not a victory either.

So with heavy spending by Democrats to get their guy in (over a million dollar campaign), the best they can do is a five point spread.

Gosh, I was going to be worried about 2006 for a minute there, but now I think I can take a deep breath before working on get out the vote efforts.

Now can we get a bounty on their hides and start hunting liberals for real?

I cant believed it the Democrats are acting like they won, on all the liberal bloging sites they are so happy that Hackett lost with "only" 4%

Well, ding my bellwether! A great victory for our side because the Dems were betting a lot of marbles on this little race.

Rush will be as ecstatic tomorrow as I am tonight.

Anyone got a pic of Hackett? I want to see if he's as ugly as he is mean.

It was closer than it should have been.

On the other hand, the democrats did not get nearly as many voters out for this election as they did in the 2004 election. Meanwhile, Schmidt managed to get more votes in this special election than Portman got in his first special election in 1993 (59132 vs 53020).

The two of them together got about 1/2 the number of votes Portman got in the last election.

You have to wonder why the democrats switched candidates. They already had a candidate (Sanders) who had lost the last 4 elections to Portman -- why switch horses in the middle of the battle? :->

It sure looks like a lot of republicans stayed home, not that a lot of republicans voted democrat. Although I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of republicans accidentally voted for Hackett, what with his pro-Bush ads. Would have been a shock to them to hear him cursing the President.

Good. Now, let's make sure OHIO cleans up what ever mess there is with Traft to ensure it doesn't fall in Dem hands come next national election.

Read that Hackett brought in Max Clelland.

That this kerry clone got 48% of the vote is sickening.

Thank God. This idiot was nothing more than a fraud, exploiting the war for his own personal gain. It is reassuring that some Americans were not dumb enough to fall for it.
