It's like election night 2004 all over again. I am watching results from Ohio's 2nd District. You can find them both here and here. The second site is Hamilton County, OH, and that is where Ohio's Secretary of State sends you. Right now it's very close, with the Republican with a lead of only a few hundred. The biggest counties are in, and they have gone for the Republican. The smaller counties are still reporting, but they are going for the Democrat. At a minimum, it seems as though our left-wing blogger buddies have done their job getting the Democratic vote out. I should point out that they only have 22% turnout for this special election. Heck, in Aberdeen we had better than twice that amount for a piddly little city election in June.
Update: The latest numbers have all counties in but one. The Republican, Jean Schmidt, is up 900 votes and the one county left to count appears to be a Republican county (it has 52% of precincts in and Schmidt has 56% of the vote). It looks like it'll be tomorrow before we know, if even then. A recount seems likely.
Another update: The last county, which turns out to have been Jean Schmidt's home county, came in big for her, evidently giving her a narrow win.
Last update: Polipundit has a brief analysis.
