how will turnout in inner city Gahanna be like?

[BuckeyeNut]

There is no “inner city Gahanna.” It’s not Whitehall.

[Sherrod Brown Shill]

Bring on the anecdotal turnout and weather reports

Worth pointing out there is a 68% chance of rain at about 4 in Columbus, and a higher then 50 percent chance of rain in Delaware County from 3-6.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I'm going to start referring to O'Connor as O'Goner now, nice to get a head start and get used to it early.

[Holmes]

Is it raining in NoVA?

damn, i didn't know democrats are that desperate to win one lousy seat... to many washed up hollywood puppets support young o'connor. check this out: chelsea handler, piper perabo, christoper meloni, misha collins, sarah silverman, joshua malina, valerie bertinelli, george tekei, debra messing... desperate!

Beautiful weather in Franklin County atm.

jbd, Grandview is entirely within be 15th, not the 12th.

Also two stories.

1: Similar to jbd’s situation, a good family friend of mine in Powell has been canvassed 5 times by the O’Connor campaign. She’s a professor at OSU and a regular Democrat, so I guess they just want to make sure everyone turns out.

2: Per NOVA’s point about Licking looking concernin for O’Connor, I know for a fact that the Denison College Democrats were pleading with the O’Connor campaign to help them get students absentee ballot request forms back in May, and the O’Connor campaign basically shrugged it off at the time. Now, evidently, theyve been scrambling to try and pull more student votes out of Licking, and they’re just not there since school isn’t in.

 My bad, good catch.  Re: Point #2: I agree regarding Licking County just from what I’ve heard anecdotally.  Badger can vouch that I once said O’Connor’s path to victory probably involved losing by less than usual in Licking County.

This is a seat that the incumbent R won with a 37% margin in 2016 and is not open due to scandal. I still think Democrats narrowly lose this, but it isn’t the Democrats who are desperate. LOL

My brain says Balderson, my gut says O'Connor.

Then again my gut was right over my brain with AL-SEN and PA-18 so who knows

[Bman409]

I'm going on the record predicting a Balderson win.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Ugh, so yesterday I wanted to phone bank at 2am but it was closed, and today when it is open I go to put in my info and sign up, but Danny's mobile site sucks! It would not even work so I just gave up for now. Literally Danny fix your mobile site!

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Got this phonebank thing working, Imma see if I can make some calls for Danny.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I just made 10 calls, I left like 3 messages, got 6 that were disconnected or wrong numbers, and one definite no. I'm pretty convinced that this whole phone bank thing is ineffective, oh well I did enough.

Just when I think you couldn’t possibly be stupider

Believe it or not, there are quiet a few people up at those hours, especially younger dems so I think the phone bank should be open 24 hours a day.

If I got a call at 2am from any candidate, it would sure incline me to vote against them.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Ugh, why are all these elitist celebrities that have no business in Ohio 12th sticking their faces in it and telling everyone what to do? Almost makes me want Balderson to win to teach them a lesson. Nonetheless, go O'Connor!

What a weird thing to say.

You can say that after literally anything Bagel posts. But yeah, "I don't like the lady from Will & Grace, so I kinda want the Republican to win!" is one hell of a take.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

This race has been successfully nationalized, it's pretty much over.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Hey are all Texas avatars trash with nothing useful to ever contribute

-_-

Why do far leftists love flinging personal insults so much? It's a lot like Trump.

[BuckeyeNut]

FTR: The general rule of thumb for phone banking is to end at 9 PM. At the latest. After that, and you will piss people off.
