In two hours, the polls will close for Ohio's second congressional district.
As we all know, the race is between a gutsy, principled Marine (and Democrat) who just returned from Iraq, Paul Hackett, and a party-line, Bush-loving, vile bitch, Jean Schmidt. Needless to say, we're rooting for Hackett.
It's a very conservative district (64% Bush last year). Yet Hackett's tough-talking approach has catapulted the race into the national spotlight. It'll be something to watch.
So, this thread is where you can make your predictions. I'm predicting a Schmidt victory based on the heavily GOP makeup of the district, but a closer result than in the past. I hope it isn't 60-40...but I'm expecting, perhaps, 55-45 or so. What do you think?
