Tim will be leaving the DNC blog for Lamont's campaign...good luck, Tim.
He has several great posts there about the fiasco in Ohio. He also posts a toll free number the DNC has set up for problems.

Here he shows a pic of the man who attacked the machines. Sad and funny.

Then he posts about
Election Night in Ohio...
Posted by Tim Tagaris on May 2, 2006 at 02:59 PM

"You can always expect a wild scene in Ohio on Election Day... and as I sit in D.C. today, I miss it. Terribly. I remember November 2, 2004 in Canton, Ohio like it was yesterday.

And while some things, like the results, will change, others stay the same. Take Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's imcompetence in running statewide elections. Perusing some of the more popular Ohio blogs, I've read tales of people physically assaulting voting machines, long lines, broken machines, idle machines covered in bubble wrap, voting for one candidate but another name showing up on the screen, poll-workers unable to get in touch with voting machine representatives, and the list goes on, and on, and on ... In fact, it was the lead story on all three Cleveland noon newscasts. As I said in the entry below: "If you are having problems voting in any of the states with primaries today, please call 1-888-DEM-VOTE (1-888-336-8683)"

But the races, ohhhhh the races. Isn't this what it's all about? And there are quite a few barnburners to take a peek at. Of course, the DNC remains neutral in all of the Democratic primaries with fine candidates ready to tackle the Republican culture of corruption led by criminally convicted Governor Bob Taft. But the GOP primaries... I can wax poetic on those all I like. And in case you missed it, it's pretty much been all out thermo-nuclear war between contested Republican candidates -- a lord of the flies if you will."

Good luck on your new venture, Tim.

1. Wow. That's some visible, even if once removed support
I love that!

Joe's still up in polls, but Ned has gained. Remember how high he started out in the pres primaries? His support turned out to be very soft.

2. There's a nice write-up on Tim at MyDD.
The newest blogger is Tracy Russo, she introduced herself yesterday.
