This race has been over for a while now. It officially ended yesterday. Everyone knows it. Except Hillary keeps going on. It’s a lot like this:

TURN YOUR KEY, HILLARY!

People of the second district, we need to talk.

Maybe you don’t get Abdul in the Morning. Maybe your internet service provider doesn’t allow you to check HoosierAccess.com. Or it could be that your television does not get Countdown with Keith Olberman. Most likely it’s that you can’t read the South Bend Tribune.

With all that, I still would have hoped your friends or family would have given you the memo on Tony Zirkle. Mr. Zirkle is the slayer of the Great Porn Dragon. The man who went to Hitler’s birthday party thrown by Illinois Nazis. And the man who won 16% of the vote in the Republican Primary in the 2nd Congressional District…. WTF!?!

Almost 6,000 Republicans in the 2nd Congressional district voted for Tony Zirkle… WOW. I had been hoping that only Tony and those 58 Illinois Nazis believed this stuff, but I am amazed that 6,000 support those beliefs.

Either way, you’ve not voted for Tony Zirkle as your nominee, and the Great Porn Dragon is very happy with that situation.

No dice… got advanced word on the way that it might make no sense…

What makes sense is that now that I called the race, all my mid-stream predictions are falling apart, lol.

I still think Hillary will take the Prez, and Andre has been called for 7th…

The Gubernatorial race is WAAAY too close to call. I smell a recount. I believe that it’s so close because both candidates are so bland and average.

I am off to the Murat to try and get in. I am still at the Motor Speedway, where I work part-time in May. I have been live-blogging for you while doing the other gig…

But it is time for me to get out of here. I am hoping to get in the Murat Center, but I doubt it happens, since I am an hour late for Final Access… You will just have to listen in tomorrow morning to find out if I did!

Thanks, everyone.

Normally, with 63% of the precincts in, and an 8-point lead, the media would declare Hillary. Now, they are all talking as if she’s taken it… But they’ve done their homework.

Lake County won’t be in for a half-hour or more, and those would only be the first 20%. In Marion County, we are at 70% in, and that means we will now start to see the impact of Center Township.

Lake County and Center Township are the most populated. Without those two in, you can’t really call.

BUT! Fox News say they will project Hillary winner soon.

Still No Lake County. They closed 45 minutes ago. This could mean a major shft in Presidential, but Obama is still down 20,000ish… I doubt Lake can shift 25,000 votes for Obama though…

I’d say Hillary, Jill Long-Thompson, and Andre Carson are your winners.

Looks like turn-out in Marion County will be in the mid-thirties… I think it was 11 or 12 in the Special Election. (We can’t use ANY Marion County data from last year’s primary.)

Go to those two sites, and notice a few things: The disparity between Marion County Voters, and those of the rest of the State.

Look at the Guv’s race in terms of how many voted for the Democrats, and how many voted for Mitch. Uh-Oh. Same for McCain.

How is Huckabee beating Ron Paul? And who voted for Romney?

In the 7th at this moment, David O is suprisingly close to Woody Meyers, but both are behind Andre, and Center is still out there. Carson is probably the winner there. What if… David or Woody had dropped out?

Polls are staying open an hour late in Obama Country in Northwest Indiana. Foul Cries, Clintons?

Remember, In Indiana, Center Township’s precincts are always the last to be counted. Obama has a strong base of support here due to the large number of the educated, the middle-class, and African-Americans. Northwest Indiana is not in yet either.

A quick thought… Indiana and North Carolina vote today. If the pundits predict correctly, HRC will win here, and Barack will win N.C. If this happens, then the race goes on until the convention. I guess we don’t matter as much as we thought.

It’s still been exciting to watch the spectacle. Although I am looking towards a nap tomorrow!
