I don't think we will know the winner by the morning.

[Aleph Null]

I don't like either candidate but had hoped that one of them would win decisively. Looks like I won't be granted even that wish.

Bush looks likely to take Ohio, where there are already a number of legal challenges and issues outstanding. He is trailing in NH and NV, which raises the possibility of a tie, and even without that, a very narrow win is possible.

I only hope he can pull out those two states, or Kerry will do the gentlemanly thing and concede without making a big fuss (fat chance of that.)

Drama Queen!

Looking at the yahoo map with what has been called, New Mexico and Ohio are leaning for bush and that'd be enough for 271. Alaska would add another 3. Am I missing something?

I sure hope we get a winner sometime soon. I'm entering my 3rd 8 hour shift

NBC just said it looks like another hour or so for ohio results, though ... maybe

You're right, if he takes NM he'll be okay... barely. Because he lost that in 2000. So NM would offset a possible loss of NV. But it will still be awfully close.

[Amazed]

Alaska to Bush. Bush now has 269. If Kerry wins everything else, it's a tie. But NM has Bush 5 points ahead. The GOP is still hoping for Nevada.

 

[F.Drew]

It's a done deal - NM, OH - and four more years of rampant, unchecked federal spending, pre-emptive self-defending against oil-rich 3rd world countries, and the PATRIOT Act II (aka "The End").

Forget fire and brimstone, this is it.

 

[1911user]

NM is now at 83% reported with bush leading 52:47. Alaska has been called for bush.

 

[Aleph Null]

I really hope Bush takes NM and Kerry concedes and I turn out to be as wrong about this thread as I was about my other predictions today.

Yes, but at least he'll protect us from terrorists so we don't have to worry about being attacked for at least 4 more years. Whew!!!

 

[Aleph Null]

I am still concerned about legal wrangling in Ohio. The Ohio margin has narrowed from over 200,000 to 100,000. And they have lots of "provisional" ballots or whatever that term was, and lawsuits pending. We'll see.

You know, Michael Moore headed up to Ohio to cause trouble. He must be succeeding.

 

[Delta]

Indeed; I expect to wake up and see that Ohio is this year's "Florida". Punch-card ballots, I understand. Chads again.

 

[Ought Six]

[Aleph Null]

Told ya.

[PentelPen]

Provisional ballots in Ohio won't be counted for 11 days.

F.Drew- It's a done deal - NM, OH - and four more years of rampant, unchecked federal spending, pre-emptive self-defending against oil-rich 3rd world countries, and the PATRIOT Act II (aka "The End").

Does this mean I can break out the freeze-dried champane to toast TEOTWAWKI The stuff has a 20 year shelf life, but it starts losing its bubbles after 5, and I got it in '99.

 

[Aleph Null]

If you want it to keep its bubbles, you have to use the dehydrated carbonated water to reconstitute it.

[Jumpy Frog]

Thanks A0, I'll try that.

 

[Aleph Null]

Why are you up at 4:30 am anyway?

-A0-

 

[Jumpy Frog]

Work graveyard shift here at a college in CA.

 

[Aleph Null]

Ah, good answer.

Also leaves plenty of time to screw around on the web. Good job!

[delta lady]

I recall reading (?) that he works the GY shift. And how much sleep did YOU get?

 

[Aleph Null]

Um... 4.5 hours? I plan to nap today.

-A0-

 

[Jumpy Frog]

With 2 sick boys, stacking firewood, winter shopping and voting........about 4-5 hours yesterday. I'll be off in 3 hours and I still won't know who the new Prez will be...most likely. Bedtime is early for me today, have to grab some cold meds for the boys and then sleepy time for me.

 

[north runner]

But the good news is...that stupid wench, I mean blogger, Queen of the Sky who voted snivelus/demo KerryEdwards was FIRED by Delta....yee ha.

That makes me feel good even if they do have to recount all next week.

 

[mbo]

alas!

It's a done deal - NM, OH - and four more years of rampant, unchecked federal spending, pre-emptive self-defending against oil-rich 3rd world countries, and the PATRIOT Act II (aka "The End").

Forget fire and brimstone, this is it.

Why did the Dems suddenly become the "stupid party" and run a flaming left-wing dweeb like Kerry? They only have themselves to blame. I'm pretty happy that Kerry will never get the chance to replace Rehnquist with Michael Moore!
