Neurochemist-
I think that Bush will get FL too, but hey, Zook got canned, so good things can happen.

woobie		2004-11-02 09:04:55 PM

CSpan's map, when the uncalled states which have results posted are taken into consideration, has the Electoral Vote as:

Bush 239
Kerry 99

Oddly, Cspan has 'called' Maryland for Kerry, yet their own numbers show Bush leading by 5%.. weird

anomaly2.0		2004-11-02 09:04:57 PM

Ha! Bush is winning Ohio and florida!!!!

Broward just came in. Almost 2-1 Kerry.

Bush's lead just dropped to 52 to 48.

I haven't even begun to drink beer. I'm pacing myself. Come 9:00 though...

Yeah, that's a direct threat to my beer. You hear me ones that are cold? I'm going to PWN U!!!

What's funny is I was born and raised in Michigan. I moved to Ohio in 1993.

anomaly2.0		2004-11-02 09:06:04 PM

Now lets see if my "Bush wins with 300+ EV's" comes true :D

I'm hopin so too, I can see it if Kerry wins this one, Hillary vs Rudy, I see that one kinda in the way I look at Alien Vs Preditor.

Gonna be a good fight and worth watching no matter who wins, but I know who my vote would go for.

schma2000		2004-11-02 09:06:27 PM

the electoral college should be based on land mass instead of population

Don't nominate an ASSHAT to beat the incumbent ASSHAT

Look at all the red on CNN's page and the geen with envy on the faces of Kerry losers, I mean supporters!

JohnnyC		2004-11-02 09:06:38 PM

Anomaly: How could I guess you're for Bush... you're coming off rather snide.

Looks like Diebold is kicking in in Ohio

pc_gator		2004-11-02 09:07:09 PM

How cool would it be if Bush won the popular vote but still lost the overall election?

How Gore-ish....

Why was my post deleted?

I inlined the image http://www.supermasterpiece.com/features/stephen/election01.gif
to show the pre-results status and got many comments on this. (just search for HairBolus or Poland in this thread) and I got no angry responses.

So why did some mod decide to delete my post. I wish the mods were required to send an email explaining the reson for deleting a post.

Cheesy_Poof_Man		2004-11-02 09:08:11 PM

where is cspan showing the bush landslide? i can't find it.

Neurochemist		2004-11-02 09:09:18 PM

On the bright side for Floridians. I watched the trends during the Gubernatorial race. Jeb manipulated the Division of Elections in his back pocket. He deliberately released favorable numbers during the Governor race in '02.

Once the votes were all tallied, Bush's win fell significantly.

anomaly2.0		2004-11-02 09:09:20 PM

Won't happen! Bush is winning ohio and Florida! It's over LMFAO! Bush won!

lovehate		2004-11-02 09:09:28 PM

Have the major urban areas in Florida been counted? Have Colorado residents voted to split electoral votes? What is happening in Hawaii, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan? It could still go either way. Damn this is exciting.

Sloth_DC		2004-11-02 09:09:29 PM

Baltimore County is looking Bushish, but the City hasn't reported yet. Baltimore City's going to be deep blue by the end of the night.

Ah, good call.

BonesawMcGraw		2004-11-02 09:09:34 PM

I call for unrestrained panic.

Brettster808		2004-11-02 09:09:40 PM

Hair, it appears that this entire thread has no images posted in it. Mods probably keeping it image free for faster loading.

Why was my post deleted?

I am not a moderator, but I play one on TV and my guess is bandwidth.

Did my eyes deceive me or is Nader winning in Louisiana.

I just about hope so, though as a conservative I wouldn't vote for Nader.

Maybe in '08 more people will vote third party...if Dubya isn't dictator by then....

thebacknine		2004-11-02 09:10:01 PM

As someone who lives in MI and not a fan of OH, they have ALWAYS been a factor.

/F OHIO!!!!!
/BUSH

Kangaroo_Ralph		2004-11-02 09:10:08 PM

me:... Bush should be more conservative. Except I didn't want to send the message that Iraq was a bad idea.

SherKhan: Don't take this wrong but that sounds...nuanced.

Don't take my quote out of context. Badnarik is a great conservative/libertarian in every other way, ideal for my vote because I'm in Alabama and can send a message to Bush that he's not conservative enough, but Badnarik wants to pull out of Iraq. So who do I vote for?

RichMeatyTaste		2004-11-02 09:10:23 PM

Ohio must have screwed up tallies. ALl of Cobbs votes disappeared and Bush's lead just jumped.

TenderBranson		2004-11-02 09:10:31 PM

No split votes in Colorado...

cannibolic		2004-11-02 09:11:03 PM

This is very odd:

For Florida, CNN is reporting:
Bush: 1,822,029 (56%)
Kerry: 1,415,004 (43%)
with 41% precincts reporting.

But Florida's Department of Elections is reporting:
Bush: 1,737,535 (52.3%)
Kerry: 1,552,498 (46.8%)
With 41.2% reporting

In other words, CNN is reporting more Bush votes and fewer Kerry votes than Florida itself is. My question is: Where does CNN get it's numbers???

If Kerry looses Ohio and Florida he's done. I just wanted to comment in this thread being that I've been reading it all night.

As a Bush voter and NOT a fan, I'm am licking my chops waiting for a McCain & RUDY!!!! Ticket in 2008!!!!!!

Honestly, I'm I am SO waiting for either one of them to run.

I wrote in McCain in 2000 and again this year. I'm not so sure about Rudy, but if McCain is on the ticket in 2008, he could have pretty much anyone as VP and it would be worth it.

/Worked for McCain twice
