3. Sorry to hear about Mean Jean.

... and I was really hoping to get rid of Boner.

Overall, though, I'm really happy for Ohio. Brown rocks, DeSwine is gone, and the Blackhead has been popped. Now if we could only pull Georgia out of Jesusland too ...

5. PLEASE FREE SCIOTO COUNTY FROM D2!!!!!!

Here's a county-by-county interactive map: http://69.64.75.172/senate.cfm As you can see, voting patterns in Ohio canNOT be defined as a northern-southern matter, it is an east-west divide! You can have Dem strongholds in SE Ohio all the way to the border with Kentucky; Scioto County, for instance (Portsmouth is the county seat) carried Hackett in the last run against Schmidt by a 65-35% margin! They voted for Strickland in this election by over 60%! But because counties like Scioto and Pike are in District 2, their voters are disenfranchised over and over again and have to live with whatever the Nazis to our west decide.

Appalachian Ohio is strong for Dems but until there is some redistricting disgusting assholes like Schmidt will continue to get elected to Congress. Little wonder Jean Schmidt doesn't mind considering dumping NUCLEAR WASTE in Pike County -- she, like her petulant and vindictive boss, would like nothing better than to dump on the Dem voters in her own district as punishment for their non-support!

PLEASE support the Appalachian voters in SE Ohio and demand redistricting!

Here's a sample of voting from the four eastern counties of District 2:

Governor's race...

Pike County:
Strickland: 7,002
Blackwell: 2,484

Scioto County:
Strickland: 19,225
Blackwell: 6,184

Brown County:
Strickland: 7,597
Blackwell: 5,835

Adams County:
Strickland: 4,636
Blackwell: 3.672

PLEASE FREE SCIOTO COUNTY FROM DISTRICT 2!!!!!!!!!!

They carried Brown over DeWine 60 to 40%
They carried Strickland over Blackwell 60 to 37%
I can only hope that absentee and provisional ballots from Scioto County can make a difference for Wulsin.

6. I'm reading that there are still thousands of

absentees that need to be counted in Franklin County...and Kilroy carried Franklin.

And what about Hamilton Cty....have they completed counting all of their absentees? John Williams of BOE said that had 40,000 to 50,000 of them. Wulsin had carried Hamilton County by 5,000 votes...are the absentees included in this total???

Anyone know anything about this? I believe there is still hope.

7. From what I understand...

Wulsin is waiting for the absentee and provisional ballots from the eastern part of D2, where she felt her support was strongest, to be counted. So she's waiting for the Appalachian vote from Pike and Scioto to give her the margin of victory. It would be very tight; those are rural counties with limited numbers of votes so the absentee/provisional votes would have to show overwhelmingly Dem.

8. Here's more info straight from Portsmouth

This is what Wulsin is waiting for, I'll bet...

Scioto County follows national voting trend

Scioto County voters joined the national trend in voting overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates in Tuesday's election.

In Scioto County, the democratic candidate for the House of Representatives, Victoria Wulsin outscored her opponent, Republican incumbent, Jean Schmidt 8,667 to 5,122.

Schmidt had fallen behind in the polls after the statement, “Marines don't cut and run,” a swipe at Representative John Murtha, of Pennsylvania, a Marine veteran himself, who campaigned for Wulsin.

In the 6th Congressional race, Scioto County went for Charlie Wilson the Democrat 6,823 to Republican Chuck Blasdel's 4,148.

Scioto County also showed support for Democrat Sherrod Brown, over Republican incumbent Mike DeWine, 15,402 to 10,063

In the most lopsided race of major concern, Scioto County went with the rest of the state in voting for Democrat Ted Strickland, over Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, 19,225 to 6,184....

9. And Hamilton Cty. has finished counting all

of their absentee ballots? Wulsin took Hamilton Cty....I was hoping that they hadn't finished counting the absentees yet.

Well...let's keep our fingers crossed for Vic. I want her in Congress so bad. Kilroy as well! Sooooooo close. She's having a rally at OSU tomorrow...lots of provisionals from students to count.
