It's pretty much a done deal...

[viceroy]

what exactly do you need help figuring out?

[LobsterClan]

Nothing is over yet. As was said from the very beginning, Ohio will absolutely be key. The exit polls from Ohio all had Kerry up by about a 3% margin. All of a sudden the results are showing Bush up by 2%?

Flat out, it sounds fishy to me. As some of you may remember, the head of Diebold promised in a fund-raising letter to give the state of Ohio to Bush- http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0828-08.htm

No way Republicans will steal another election. Not after last time.

^^^indeed...lol FOX still keeps Ohio for Bush...go figure

I'm leaving this country.
I graduate in one year.
I will be gone in a year and a half.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I won't.

Enjoy the next 4years.

[palmer]

Fox shouldn't even be called news in my opinion.

[viceroy]

^^^I totally agree...bunch of wankers^^^^

Everyone really needs to chill out until things are at least semi-settled. Nothing is over yet. There are going to be a massive amount of lawyers sent out to Ohio and Iowa to make sure every vote is counted, counted correctly, and that no shenanigans went on.

And for god's sakes, don't turn it to Fox News.

Oh, I will. After all, it was one of my votes that helped it come about. I accept full responsibility. :wink:

How nice it must be, to have no soul.

Oh I'm not, but I want to hear them "declare" Bush the winner to then have it blow up in their faces...

People seem to think that Bush will protect his country from terrorists - maybe he'll do his best to do that, but only the threat that he has created himself by terrorising other countries in the first place - Kerry might not be such a good war time leader, but he wouldn't cause the need for war that Bush has. As much as I dislike Kerry and his policies - America would be a much safer place with him in charge.

A sad sad day indeed

The world as we know it is going to end, mark my words.
He already fucked it up terribly in 4 years, God only knows what he is going to do in another 4 years
Bush's scare tactics seem to of worked i guess, you all shit you're pants

If Bush takes Ohio I'll kill him personally myself in person on my own.

I'll throw bandage-rolls at him until he succumbs to that.

!#@$%&!

[thrualoooop]

now we gan get on with killing stinky bad guys with hoods who want to cut off our heads!

I still just don't see much of a chance - the counts are showing Bush up by something like 140,000 votes. Even if there are 300,000 provisional & overseas ballots left to count (very much on the high end - probably much less in reality), Kerry would have to win 75% of those in order to make up the difference. Remember that a decent percentage of those are overseas military ballots which will be dominantly Bush votes.

Doesn't seem likely.

Shenanigans & inaccurate vote counting - when it is a difference of several thousand votes, that definitely comes into play. When the margin is 100,000+, it's a bit tougher.

Technically, we might not officially know for 10-11 days, but it pretty much looks like a done deal....

(maybe I'll be eating my words in a week )
