It’s KILROY!!!

The count of more than 20,000 provisional ballots allowed Mary Jo Kilroy to seize a commanding lead of 2,311 votes – quite a turnaround since Kilroy trailed by 594 votes this morning alone!

And get this: Kilroy’s lead is superior to 0.5%, so there will be no mandatory recount!

This one is over, and Democrats are back at a net of +20.

It’s also a huge relief for Kilroy who lost another very very close race two years ago. And this is a blue enough district that Kilroy should be able to keep it in two years.

  2. At least we’re closing out the House phase of Election 2008 on a high note. I guess this makes up for the sucky Louisiana results. And since Ohio’s a bigger state that isn’t trending away from us, perhaps it’s better that we’re winning seats here. OH-15, in particular, is a Columbus district that I’m sure Obama won. It shouldn’t be too hard for us to hold onto this seat.
