BUT...no more precincts to report, according to the site.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!Way to go Clay!Someone posted at CV earlier today that a certain album was released 6 years ago. I've always loved this particular song, and I think it fits Clay Aiken like a glove...lyrics especially. I took my first stepOn that black and white kitchen floorI sometimes wonder if that houseIs even there, anymoreI had my first glimpse of loveWhen I was fiveI watched two people split apartBut still the three of us survivedI've seen the bestI've seen the worstI wouldn't change what I've been throughI've touched the skyI've hit the wallBut I did what I had toOoooohhhhCHORUS:On my way hereWhere I am nowI've learned to flyI have to want to leave the groundI've fallen hardBut I've been lovedAnd in the end it all works outMy faith has conquered fearOn my way here.Oh yeah yeaaahMy address has changedAlmost every yearI've found that standing stillCan quickly make a lifetime disappearI'd rather try and failA thousand times deniedAnd this, whenever you feel painIt lets you know that you're aliveI've been a foolI've been afraidYeah, I've been lovedI've been lied toI've been wrongAnd I've been rightI stood up when I had toYeah YeahhhhOn my way hereWhere I am nowI've learned to flyI have to want to leave the groundI've fallen hardBut I've been lovedAnd in the end it all works outMy faith has conquered fearOn my way here.No guaranteesI believed that I would findAn open door or a lightTo lead me to the other sideI guess that is whyOn my way hereWhere I am nowI've learned to flyI have to want to leave the groundI've fallen hardBut I've been lovedAnd in the end it all works outMy faith has conquered fearOn my way here.

ldyjocelyn Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 He looked really good -- shirt sleeves rolled up, but still with the tie. He introduced everyone on his staff, and he says when he wakes up in the morning, he's confident they will be declared the winner. Onward to November 4!

FearofH2O Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 It looked good when we left. Gene Conti said there was only one district left to count and it had less votes than Clay was ahead. Hopefully there wont be a runoff. Clay thanked all his team by name and went around the room shaking hands and hugging people. I saw him as a different man after the vote. Mature, confident, leader. Bye AI Clay. Hello man of the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckiest1 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 So, what happens now? We wait to see if Crisco demands a recount, or concedes? Or is it possible that there will be a mandatory recount based on the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye AI Clay. Hello man of the people.I might have to change the thread title to this...love it!Fear, I can't wait to hear more about your experience last night.luckiest, from what I'm understanding, Crisco can ask for a recount. However, since Clay has received 40% of the vote, and Crisco didn't, if the votes don't swing Crisco's way, Clay's in. However -- I think I'm also reading that some provisional ballots have yet to be counted. It's still really a nail biter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckiest1 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 So this might not be finalized today then? Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yeah -- that is a strong possibility. As Clay said in his speech last night, "I'd prefer to just open an envelope to find out."Speaking of that....Washington Post Link to parts of Clay's speechI was able to watch most of this live, but it cut out at the end...during "Just Walk Away Renee!"
