I expected more. But congratulations to Mr. May. The Democrats didn't bother to run any kind of quality candidate, while the Republicans did. 57 to 43 isn’t exactly a blowout, considering all the baggage Dion brought to the race. I expected more.

I think this is trending blowout. The lowest two precincts for turnout are the strong D precints. I'm sticking with my 57-43 prediction. Agreed with your update. I think this is trending blowout.

Dems have largely succeeded in putting lipstick on this pig. As in "Squeal like a....!" (Deliverance, 1972).

In an average election with turnout this low, May wins by about 120 votes. In good election for Dems, Dion wins by 250 votes. In the best case scenario for May he wins by 500 votes. All based on about 15% turnout. My guess is May wins by 50 votes in an election closer than many folks think. Dion work harder than May in this election no doubt about that.
