McEwen's party getting started

About 35 people, including a dozen children and several reporters, are now at Bob McEwen's campaign party, getting set up for the big night.

McEwen is challenging Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Miami Township, in the GOP primary election for the 2nd Congressional District. If he wins, the former congressman from Southern Ohio would be making a 14-year comeback.

McEwen's party, which is being held at the New England Club in Anderson Township, started at 8 p.m., but McEwen spokesman Michael Harlow said the candidate and his wife, Liz, aren't expected to show up until about 9 p.m. because McEwen wanted to work the polls right up until they closed at 7:30 p.m.

A computer has been set up to monitor election results. Right now, it's showing a slide show of pictures from the McEwen campaign. A few children set up a "Bob McEwen" banner across the window. A half dozen tables have been set up with white and blue tablecloths and red, white and blue hats and other centerpieces adorning them.

Folks right now are munching on chips and veggies as TV cameramen are set up their tripods pointing at the small stage.

Now, it's time to wait...
