Well, I'm starting earlier than expected because of the results.
Steve Young just doubled his entire Primary vote result in just the absentee ballots just released!
- Campbell 30,895
- Young 14,697
- Gilchrist 10,944
- Tirilli 915 (Grn)
- Cohen 644 (Lib)
This is so good a set of numbers that it means nothing but good things.
Very Good News
Stay Tuned....
Update [2005-12-7 0:43:25 by BigDog04]: 54 of 268 precincts
* Campbell 33,592 50.7
* Young 17393 26.2
* Gilchrist13,637 20.6
* Tirilli 998 1.5
* Cohen 702 1.1
The importance of this is that Campbell, as was true during the primary, DROPPED his percentage of the vote every time a live vote was counted. And there's a LOT of live votes left to be counted. If this trend continues...Campbell drops...Gilchrist gains in net votes against absentee....we have a very interesting evening ahead of us.
UPDATE
* Campbell 35,719 47.9
* Young 20,532 27.6

* Cohen 702 1.1
Campbell continues to fall and the net gain continues to grow. This is 110 of 268 Precincts...wait for it....

Final results......
* Campbell 41,450
* Young 25,926
* Gilchrist20,971
* Tirtilli 1,160
* Cohen 880
Steve Young got 28.0% of the vote. And the overall turnout was an anemic 23%. And wouldn't have been a problem if that was PRECINCT votes...but it wasn't.
But the truth is that of the total vote 63% were absentee and that 15K difference in the first reported vote carried that day for Campbell.
Thanks to all that tried and believed. Thanks to the staff and thanks to Steve Young. He'll be back.
Thanks to the donors, skeptics and Democrats in general. Fight every fight...every time.
And now The Big Dog is going to go have a HUGE drink....
