Exactly how many votes is he behind?

I don't remember the number but it's close.

He was on the radio today talking about it. He was gracious and not a hind of negative or blame.

Here's an update. The Arizona Republic is a back stabbing, pro-illegal POS, so don't expect them to admit he won until every damn vote is counted.
They reported 250,000 ballots to count, so everyone should just keep their fingers crossed and mouths shut (the paper) until this is done.

If we get Hayworth, it will be an important victory for sure!

Mitchell still leads Hayworth

As ballot counting extended into its third day, congressional hopeful Harry Mitchell's lead over Rep. J.D. Hayworth remained virtually unchanged at nearly 6,000 votes.

The Democratic challenger of six-term Republican Hayworth made no claim of victory Thursday, but he appointed a former congressman to help him prepare for setting up offices if he wins.

An updated ballot count at the end of the day put Mitchell ahead of Hayworth by 5,932 votes, or 23 fewer than the day before. advertisement




The change came as 5,527 ballots from the 5th Congressional District were counted. The ballots are among about 250,000 that piled up in early voting and are now being processed at the rate of about 25,000 a day.

Hayworth had been hoping that early ballots would favor him heavily, but the latest figures left him at 46.3 percent to Mitchell's 50.4 percent. The remaining votes went to Libertarian Warren Severin.

Mitchell said he isn't jumping the gun by assembling a transition team but is trying to be ready to hire staff and set up offices in the district and Washington, D.C., if he wins.

The former Tempe mayor and state senator said he is going to Washington next week to participate in orientation sessions conducted by the House clerk for newly elected members. Most of the cost is paid with campaign funds, spokesman Seth Scott said.

Mitchell appointed former Congressman Sam Coppersmith, who represented an East Valley district for one term in 1993-95, to head the unpaid transition team.

Updates of ballot counts are to be posted daily after 5 p.m. on the Web sites of the Maricopa County recorder's elections office and the secretary of state.

from the little that I know I understand that the percentages were highly in his favor. It will be, shall we say, a SHOCK if they suddenly drop like a stone.

The pro-illegal immigrant journalist are using the Hayworth loss as a vital part of their spin in their "what went wrong for the anti-illegal gang" writings.

Sure would be nice to see a big chunk of their claims disapper.

2nd and MW - if we can get Hayworth, it will be a big IN YOUR FACE to the OBRS and MSM. I am hoping and praying - his re-election along with the Arizona Propositions will be like a silver lining on this temporary cloud.

Not to mention that he has one of the sexiest voices.

That 46.3 vs 50.3 percent is less than 6,000 vote difference with approx. 70,000 votes to go. Just be patient.

Hayworth's campaign said elections officials still need to count about 70,000 to 90,000 early and provisional ballots in the race - enough to overtake Mitchell.

Mitchell had a total of 77,907 votes, or 50.3 percent. Hayworth had 72,124 votes, or 46.5 percent. Libertarian Warren Severin had 4,953 votes, or about 3.2 percent.
