- Strickland defeats Blackwell for governorship of Ohio.
- Sherrod Brown takes the Senate seat of Mike DeWine.
- Issue 2, raising the minimum wage, passed by a good margin, as did Issue 5 (SmokeFree Ohio).
- Issue 3, bringing gambling to Ohio, failed, as did Issue 4; both lost by a fairly wide margin.
Pretty exciting stuff. Now, control of the Senate hinges on the results of the Montana and Virginia races. Unfortunately for the voting public, the Virginia election probably won't be known for weeks as it's almost certain to be recounted a billion times (hello Florida?). At least the House is pretty concrete now.
Looks like the terrorists win this time, Mr. Bush.
