I'm packing my truck at this moment..
FUCK :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :mad:
That is all. :(
Bush: ID MT WY CO UT AZ ND SD NE KS OK TX MO AR LA MS AL GA FL SC NC VA WV KY IN (246)
Kerry: CA IL PA NY VT ME MA CT RI NJ DE MD DC (188)
Bush is down to only needing 24 electoral votes to pick up the presidency. Assuming he take's Ohio, which looks likely, he would only need 4 more electoral votes to win. New Mexico or Nevada will do the trick.
I don't get the 'I"m leaving the country" crowd. If you really cared about the direction of this country you will stay and fight if Bush wins. Just because you leave the country doesn't mean you are immune from his stupid decisions.
AK goes to Bush
Bush: 249
Kerry: 195
Bush leads by 100K votes in Ohio with 87% of the votes in. He'll need one more state, but everything else is incredibly tight. His best bet looks to be NM where he holds a sparse 10K vote lead.
This one is going to the wire.
If Bush wins it will be a very sad day for the world.
Heading to eBay to see if there is something I can buy to make me feel better.
Several news agencies (Fox, MSNBC) have called OH for Bush.
Damnit....
I voted for Tom Day and I was actually on-the-line for Mike Slattery...
...and then this new kid Glen Plake came into the picture.....ARRRGGGGGGHHHHH :cussing:
MSNBC just projected Bush taking Ohio. The other news agencies haven't followed suit yet.
Fox has Bush one EV from re-election.Quote:

Even the democrats are stupid..Sorry, but Kerry was NOT a strong candidate...Of course if you ask me, my dog should beat out Bush in en election.
True.Quote:

Iowa just got more interesting.

Ohio is not enough. Bush needs one more state. All of the remaining states will be decided in terms of a few thousand votes. In that sense, whomever wins (likely Bush) will be lying when they claim a mandate.Quote:

Without a doubt.Quote:

I agree. And I think I'm going to raise your extra another state or two as well, Josh. I think Ohio and New Mexico are must-wins, and Iowa too.Quote:

So, you should be running things, because you're so smart, right? To tell all of us morons what to do? Or at least who to vote for? (Same thing, after all...)Quote:

Anyways, CNN has just labeled Ohio as "too close to call." No other org has followed NBC and Fox's lead in giving Ohio to Bush.
The remaining states are all so close that I can't see how their electors can vote without counting the absentee balots.
Looks like we're headed to OT. I can hear the pens scratching out first drafts of lawsuits already...
:FIREdevil
NOW you're on the right track..
:rolleyes: :tdo13:
if bush holds on to win ohio, it is enough. it won't be an outright victory, but at 269, a tie, he would win cause the republicans hold the majority in congress.
although i am not happy about it, for Kerry to win at this point would be a bigger upset than the Sox coming back from 0-3.

Yeesh. Back to bed for me.
Two things stick out glaringly, as mentioned earlier, the women vote. Time will tell whether they are smarter than us or just ill-informed horse face liking chad punchers. (I'm thinking they are smarter than us)
The second thing that sticks out would be resounding condemnation of same sex marriage. This type of moral regulation of our society concerns me deeply. I've seen the term "morals" tossed about in many campaigns and polls. Personally I think this country was founded upon freedoms rather than morals. Morals taken to the extreme are the fault of many world problems, I prefer freedom.
BobMc
Puritanical influences have always been strong in American politics. The country was in part settled by people wanting the freedom to be religious zealots. But, in short, I agree with BobMc and add that democracy has been replaced by capitalism as the focus of our political culture.
Ah yes. Ohio is enough. Latest poll in Ohio gives Bush a 250K lead.
At least he's going to win with the popular vote as well this time.
Interesting point: It's pretty amazing how many electoral college votes have changed since 2000. Texas is 2 votes bigger, for example. 2 votes that could make all the differtence in the world...
That's because Rupert Murdoch sucks it long, and sucks it hard.Quote:
