Hey fuck it dude.

[Glamrock]

So Danny lost. Phhht. Shit. He came within like, what? A point in a Trump/GOP gerrymandered district? That's a huge swing in the opposite direction. The last Grand Old douchebag won by double digits. Republicans are shitting themselves tonight. Good enough for me. I'm stumbling down to the Waffle House, Otis playing on me phone to celebrate. Tidings looking good for November!

1. Isnt there an auto recount

For 1% and under?

[Wounded Bear]

2. Varies by state and district...

[Totally Tunsie]

14. It's .5% and under.

The current difference in the race is .9%, awaiting count of provisional ballots.

[blue-wave]

22. Yes,

There are about 3,400 provisional ballots to be counted. Would be nice if 90% or more went our way, but I know, I'm dreaming. If a recount is conducted, does Ohio have a paper ballot trail?

3. Exactly. Look how hard they had to fight

for a district that the Tangerine Idi Amin carried by a huge margin last time. That’s good tidings for anywhere that had a narrower margin.

7. OMG I love that name for the wanker in the White House! eom

[Awsi Dooger]

4. As long as it's a lesson not to expect +60 or 70 in November

I've seen that around here. Too many people kidding themselves regarding the math.

Current odds on Democrats winning the House are roughly 63%

That is the equivalent of a 3.5 point favorite in an NFL game

5. There was something much bigger at stake here...

Trump's bragging rights

[Glamrock]

8. Again. Phhhht.

He was higher in the polls before he campaigned for him.
What's to brag about? A district that swung double digits in the opposite direction? Shit. There's silver in dem clouds baby!

[lunasun]

6. +++Dems are breathing down thier back so close there . Can't be comfortable for Ohio Rs now

Big swing , a step forward and eyes ahead

[Glamrock]

10. Last election

Republican won by double digits (+30 I think)
This election. Plus, what 2? Yeah, that'll get me through the night.

[mr_lebowski]

11. Lets go bowling ...

[Glamrock]

12. You're out of your element!

I almost made that the title. (What you said, not the element quote) Didn't quite seem apropo.

Did you catch it on the big screen Sunday? Me n Mrs. Glam went. Took my Dude Abides flask. Drained it during the flick and stumbled on home with a big old smile on me face!

[Initech]

13. Fuck it, Dude!

[Glamrock]

15. My fave!

[Initech]

16. Nobody fucks with the Jesus!

[Glamrock]

17. He's, a pederass dude.

[Initech]

18. "Hey Maude, sorry that your stepmother is a nympho, do you have any Kahlua?"

[Glamrock]

19. Bwaaaaaaaa!

[AlexSFCA]

20. I wonder what was the turnout?

If we lost, we should use this to energize dem voters. Remember chances of Hillary winning were at least 70%... None of those polls matter because everything depends on turnout.

[Glamrock]

21. It was low man.

Special election. Boosts our chances for November when turnout should be higher!

[LeftInTX]

23. Better than our special election last week

Only 26,000 voted.......(State senate with a population of over a million)

[Glamrock]

24. Oooof!
