So far, I'm concerned but everything has followed the patterns that pollster John Zogby has predicted. It feels grim until I start digging through the data we have so far. It's really looking like it's coming down to OH and FL. Originally posted by Prime:
It's really still too close to call. There are still people standing in line in Ohio to vote, I just heard on the news. http://"http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com" is saying that there's a lot of nasty court battles going on in Ohio. Last I heard the polls were still open because there were people still waiting to vote (having arrived before the polls closed) but the GOP were fighting to not allow those people to vote and to close the polls.

Ohio could be this year's Florida. It's pretty scary.

Rumors are, Kerry is gaining momentum in the Midwest.
But Bush just got Montana.
Kerry - 206
Bush - 210

Just my personal opinion...Peter Jennings sucks.
No offense to Canada...can you guys take him back!

Bush - 210 MT fits with Zogby... Florida, once again, is the first miss of the night for Zogby, which CSPAN is calling for Bush. However, seeing that Vote Protect is showing a high number of reported incidents there, the vast majority in the democrat-leaning Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, I'm really not sure if we'll know.

By the way, I say calm those nerves and check out The Daily Show\'s election blog . We should all be scared of Sean Puffy Combs... will he spare those who's voter registration forms were shredded? How about those who's eligibiity was challenged because they wouldn't go to the post office to pick up a registered letter from the Republican Party? Sigh, I just make the best joke a downer.

Oh this is interesting... Media Matters is tracking when each network has called each state. At the very least it's a good source to track everything without Firefox open with a dozen tabs...

This just effectively took all rights away from anyone except a union of man and woman. Even as far as denying visitation rights of same sex couples in hospitals.
The Mormons touted this as being needed to keep same sex marriages from happening. What they won't, and never will admit, is it just effectively made those couples second class citizens. We already had provisions in the state Constitution that said marriage was only between a man and a woman. This was just used to take away any basic rights, not to keep them from marrying.
I can't believe I put up with living in such a sprocked up state as Utah.

CNN's revised numbers now show Bush leading Kerry 246 to 195. What state backed out of the Kerry column into the Bush?

MSNBC is 246 to 206. Obviously CNN has a MSNBC Kerry state in the undecided column.

Well, there it goes.
I'll offer my tentative congratulations to President Bush and the people who supported him.
That said, I hope each and every one of you one day will come to understand how it feels to be marginalized as someone to be voted against. It fucking hurts to know that America has spoken, and what America has said is, "Jeff DeGarmo and Lee Fowler, there's no place in this country for you. We loathe your commitment to each other. We loathe your love for each other. We loathe you."
I truly hope, once again, each and every one of you will understand what this feels like, and then cast your vote with that knowledge.
Good night, America.

Jeff, I'm truly sorry my friend. If I could get them to see the error of their ways in this messed up state I would. But nothing short of giving them glimpse of the hell they will have in their supposed afterlife because of the way they are now will do it. They are so full of righteousness it makes me physically sick.

I don't think righteousness is the issue here. It's manipulation.

It's not over in Ohio. It's still bloody close (100K right now) and there are 150-200K provisional ballots according to CNN. Keep in mind that most of the challenges to bump a voter to provisional status were targeted to democrat-leaning and minority preciencts.
I joked that this wasn't going to be over on 11/3... okay I wasn't joking. I hate being right on this kind of @#$%. Sometimes I think I'd kill to stop being such a Cassandra.
