To tell you the truth...

I'm confused by these returns. The local CBS affilliate is reporting favorable returns for John Sullivan, OUR GUY.

HOWEVER, we're getting posts that indicate different numbers coming from somewhere. I hope the numbers being reported by KOTV, Channel 6, the local CBS affiliate, (Terry's station) are just more current. If not...

See thread started by me about one week ago, titled OKLAHOMA REPUBLICANS SQUANDER AWAY A THIRD CONGRESSIONAL SEAT.

Oh lord please let me be wrong...

Sometimes the local news will report election results faster than we see posted in a state's election return website. Someone has to input data into the website, whereas the local station can report the raw data immediately.

Why do I get the feeling Daley's phone is ringing?

[OKSooner]

Terry her own self just interrupted regular broadcasting on KOTV channel 6 / CBS with the following numbers: 78 percent reporting, Sullivan 54, Dodd (something about that guy... where's his wife?) 44, two independents 1 percent each. Terry didn't look real happy.

Hey Sooner...What's with the "something about that guy", "he of the baritone voice", "where's his wife" comments?

Well, since you ax, those are my observations on Mr. Dodd, the Democrat candidate. He has this reallllly deep baritone voice, saying "I'm Doug Dodd. You probably remember me from when I used to tell you the news, every night." And there's just something about the guy thats, uh, unusual in some kind of way. But I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. Something I can't put my finger on, just something, uh, "intuitive".

BTW, has anyone ever seen this guy with a chick?

[Osage Orange]

Heard on the radio...better than expected turn-out. Some radio talking-head...said 60,000 voters expected...and something like 100,000 actually turning out. This was around 1700 our time........

We shall see.......

Not exactly what you meant, but seeing as he has a daughter, I think that it casts doubt on your insinuations of his sexual orientation.

[ChicagoGuy]

Gotcha. Just thought your juxtaposition of comments about the guy, saying that there was "just something about the guy", "unusual", "intuitive", "has anyone ever seen this guy with a chick" comments might mean you were trying to make some kind of statement about his sexual orientation. But I can't imagine a FReeper would try to make trash someone by making sly insinuations about their sexual orientation. Sounds like a demoRat tactic.....

[conservativesoutherner]

Is it too soon to thank the good lord above for not allowing the representation of another money stealing, freedom grabbing, virtue bashing moron whose sole interest seems to be to serve himself, his party and every elitist, politically correct, anti-American special interest east of the Mississippi in the U. S. congress?

(That representation would come right after he finishes subsidising every cow in America, of course- as Speaker Hastert would say!)

When did I do that? I think he's a phony oddball and I was wondering how many ex-wives he has for all you know! BTW, latest from Terry's station: 97 percent reporting, Sullivan 54, Dodd 44, others 2 percent. So there.
