CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- A Republican former state lawmaker has claimed a seat in Congress by narrowly defeating an Iraq war veteran who drew national attention to the race with his military service and a series of harsh attacks on President Bush.
With all precincts reporting, Jean Schmidt had 52 percent, or 57,974 votes, compared with Democrat Paul Hackett's 48 percent, or 54,401 votes. Schmidt's margin of victory amounted to about 3,500 votes out of more than 112,000 cast.

Not exactly MY idea of a landslide....with results THAT close, I'd be looking at 2006 too.
Remember the pendulum will eventually swing the other way...
