Sherrod Brown wins with more votes than DeWine
Edited on Wed May-03-06 08:42 PM by OzarkDem
So much for the bogus Plain Dealer poll and the Rasumessen poll with 9% MOE.
Brown kicked ass in a primary where the GOP had higher voter turnout.

The numbers pretty much reflect what Brown's campaign has been saying the Dem Party polls are showing - he's ahead of DeWine by at least a point or two.

Sherrod Brown won his primary with 77.86% - 559,174 votes

Mike DeWine won his primary with 71.76% - 551,385 votes

1. I'm melting!
Edited on Wed May-03-06 09:04 PM by MissWaverly
who would suspect that an upstart voter like you and your smarmy blog would be the end of
my beautiful corruption. I am melting!

Little parody based on Wicked Witch of the West = Ohio GOP!

Strickland also received more votes than Blackwell.

2. Good news for both!
It looks like we'll have a Dem for governor and senator in Ohio.

3. I hope so, esp. since the dirty tricks just keep on coming
I heard one of the polling places didn't have any poll workers to open the polling place, so
by the time "new ones" were found it was afternoon, I heard that the polling place stayed open
late (2 hours) that does not begin to address how unfair this is.

4. There were 70 memory cards missing
from voting machines here in Cuyahoga County. They still haven't found them.

6. well, I guess the elves are programming them for November

just keep on coming.

10. I wondered the same
when I heard it on the news. Where could they be, especially 70 of them?

The article also says they're using temp workers to do hand recounts of the absentee ballots. Probably hired them from the Young Republicans Club :eyes:

14. one of the things that they talked about in Fooled Again
Was about the break ins of dem headquarters and how the voting lists of loyal dem supporters
was used to purge the state election rolls. This has happened, these people are determined
that the government is their game and are determined to stack the deck. I really think
that those missing 70 memory cards are in the hands of fanatics who are determined to
win the election through fraud.

5. I think this is more of a horse race than we were led to believe.
Ohio is going to have to think up some new dirty tricks to take this one.

7. My heart goes with Brown. --- My betting lot goes with
DeWine.

I seldom lose with my money. My heart disgraces me.

9. wanit and see what comes out on him
I think that he will be touched by all these scandals rocking the Beltway which will be to
the Dem's advantage.

16. That's exactly where I am
I do best when I trust my instincts and in Ohio I think Brown is too liberal and not special enough to defeat an incumbent. I'll most likely wager on DeWine if the price is reasonable.

It's like in early 2003 when I wrote on DU that John Kerry was just good enough to get you beat. Then I let my anti-Bush desperation sway me on election eve and I foolishly bet four figures on Kerry.

18. Don't go to Vegas
Looks like luck may not be in your favor if you wager against Brown.

19. Bizarre
You must be new to politics.

How else could one explain favoring an incumbent candidate who is already behind at the time of primaries, from a party facing massive corruption and voter discontent at both the national and local level.

8. the only way we can be sure of winning
is if someone catches them now and they are fined or indicted or whatever, how many have
they stolen so far: (3), practice makes perfect.

13. Ohio is toxic for the GOP
and becoming moreso every day.

Each week that passes has more news of scandals, pay to play, etc. DeWine has been a recipient and participant just like the others. People are leaving the party in droves.

The GOP will have to do some serious rat farking to steal this race, not that its beyond them.

15. what we really need is a strategy
like what do we do when they open the polling place at noon. I am sick of hearing Opps.
We are so sorry. We left the name of the dem running for senate in your state off the ballot
in 4 counties, we are so sorry, please pay us every million that you owe us for our wonderful machines. Oh, they did not function properly, you lost results. We are so sorry, so very sorry. We need more than crocodile tears.

17. This is very interesting
Given the fact that the Democratic party ballot in many areas did not have many contested offices, I think a lot of Dems voted republican ballots in order to have a say in the governor's race. Yes, you can do that in Ohio. If these voters had voted on the Democratic ballot Brown's tally would have been even higher.
