I hope South Park pre-empts their new episode tomorrow and airs the kindergarten election instead.

Every vote should count. And IMO, when it's over in Ohio, Bush will still be the winner.

92% in, and Bush has a 102,000 lead.

Every vote should count, and the lawyers have every right to try and spin whatever they shall spin, but in today's times, we need a clear cut winner with no whinney lawsuits. Heres hoping Bush gets a few more states and puts it to rest the right way.

They are saying that for Kerry to overcome Bush's lead in Ohio, it would have to win around 80% of the provisional vote. And that is improbable.

It's a huge statistical improbablility. But it gives some hope and thus that small glimmer will be trumpeted loudly.

What makes them think that they will get any bigger % of the pie from the remaining votes than they have all night?

So, whats the new slogan going to be? Last year was Sore Loserman and Bush Cheated(instead of Cheney), whats this years?

It looks like he'll get N.M., and possibly Iowa. Nevada is neck and neck, but too early in the tabulation to tell. But I think the rest will go Kerry IMO.

They're saying provisional ballots are investigated individually and some take up to an hour. My wife filled out a provisional ballot for Michigan. They told here there's no way to know if it will end up counting or not. they gave her a number to call to follow up.

I hope this doesn't drag out and in the courts.

Most of Nevada's early voting was Clark County(Vegas). I think we all know how that went.

The Fox political analysts don't think Kerry will. They stated/presented the above to show that that scenario is very,very unlikely.

CNN is now saying Ohio is now Too Close to Call

Can you say 2000 redux

Well, it appears that Iowa is going Bush's way. 7 EV there. New Mexico is another 5. Nevada's way too close to call as is Wisconsin. They represent 15 EV between them. For Bush to take it without worrying about Ohio, he'd need to win Wisconsin in addition to expected wins in Iowa (good call Stormy), and New Mexico. Nevada won't get it done.

The suburbs around there though, where all those evil "rich people" live, usually vote Repub, while the city itself goes Dem.

Doesn't matter. If Bush doesn't win Ohio, he loses even if he wins N.M., Iowa, AND Nevada.
