American Entropy: OH- 2 [UPDATE

02 August 2005

OH- 2 [UPDATE - 1015 pm]

~~[UPDATE] rumors of a recount...~~ Recount doubtful.

Go to Swing State Project for the final tally.

While Hackett lost (right now it looks that way - 10 pm) tonight, the final count will be very close; consider it a shot across the bow for Ohio Republicans and the entire GOP entity. We just competed in a Repub stronghold, made the GOP drop gobs of money into what once was an easy seat, and we did it without any major help from the big guns in Washington. SI Conservative said, "Keep prayin for a moral "victory" guys." Well I don't pray but I do hope and in this case I'll take the 'moral' victory. This is bigger than you think, and you know it!

This is the future.

Remember the cook report (from below)

If Schmidt's victory margin is in double digits, this tells us that there is not much of an anti-GOP wind in Ohio right now. If the margin is say six to nine points for Schmidt, then there is a wind, but certainly no hurricane. A Schmidt win of less than five points should be a very serious warning sign for Ohio Republicans that something is very, very wrong, while a Hackett victory would be a devastating blow to the Ohio GOP.
