Not looking good
The Chimp took Florida. And so now JFK probably needs an upper Midwest sweep to take it, which seems unlikely. If he loses Ohio, it's over.
UPDATE, 10:00 p.m.: It's over. Bush took Ohio.

Hard not to feel that way. We will be getting what we deserve. Barring a miracle, it's going to be a dark night, and a time to lie very, very low.

Of course, neither ABC or CBS has called Ohio, because the number of unreported votes plus the provisional votes mandated by HAVA exceed the vote coutn difference between Bush and Kerry.

Didn't anyone learn anything from 2000? Actually, it looks like CBS, ABC, PBS, and CNN have. None of them have called Ohio yet.
The Bush camp & Fox News are behaving true to form - acting as if it's obvious they have won, which will make it harder when Kerry wants to challenge things in Ohio.

(CNN retracted their Ohio call for Bush.)

Anything's possible, I suppose. But to make up a 100K deficit with only 250K left to be counted in a close state is an extremely tall order. You'd need to take 175K out of the 250K, or 70%. In Ohio?

This is so similar to Florida 2000. It's eerie.

Scratch what I said about CNN retracting - I don't think they ever called Ohio. I think I'm getting dizzy.

I think I'm deluding myself here. I still don't want K/E to concede until the votes are counted. What's the rush?
But with Bush currently up by almost 4 million in the popular vote, well, you get my drift.

The popular vote means nothing, absolutely nothing. But Kerry can't win Ohio. He's down 144K.

I know it means nothing as far as who wins the Presidency, but once I saw that 4 million difference in the popular vote, I finally realized it was over. It woke me up to realizing that Kerry can't make up the deficit in Ohio.
