So drop by and we can share the returns together! :) _Abbey

Missed the exact numbers but with 2 precincts Flake is a distant third out of three . . . .

"The winner of each election is determined by the candidates contributions to our new Emperor, William Gates."

LOL! That woul dbe poetic justice after that bogus monopoly crap the feds pulled. So if Gates is in charge, you KNOW Reno won't win!

Heard about another county where the optical scanner "ate" aka tore up 40+% of the ballots. They have to be counted by hand now.

I wonder what the optical scanner equivalent to hanging chads can be?

[Torie]

What is the link to that set of numbers?

[katherineisgreat]

Thanks!

[surely_you_jest]

My pleasure.

Just received this from an AP press release in my AOL email:

The latest polls showed Reno, the former Clinton administration attorney general, and McBride each getting about 40 percent of the vote. State Sen. Daryl Jones was trailing far behind.

Here.....

it's not a direct link......

You must access the rat primary portion on the left side, select Gov/Cab, then select the same link for the statewide results.

[katherineisgreat]

BS. Looks to me like Reno's going down!

That was an AP article that just came in -- don't blame me!

[katherineisgreat]

Harris doing well in Manatee:

District: 13   % Report Katherine Harris John C. Hill Total   501 179 Percent 1.2% 73.7% 26.3%

It would take a lot of nerve for this judge to kick her off.

Oh, great. Now I'm going to have this, um, image in my head for the rest of the evening.

If she runs close, the whole thing will be tossed out I suspect. Reno's poor showing in Hillsborough suggests that she is running poorly with the Hispanic vote, and Dade hasn't reported. She will need to win big in Broward and Palm Beach which haven't reported either, since she is losing most places except Duval where there is a heavy black vote. Odd though that Reno is holding her own in Marion.

I was beginning to think that my husband and I were the only Republicans in Tallahassee - nice to know you're here!
