for bush that they can; while at the same time the repugs are holding things up in PA and Ohio, What don't you understand? Then if there is a dispute, it'll look like bush had it all wrapped up. Just like calling it for him last time. Get it?

3. THANK YOU!!!
And they won't be able to steal PA and OH.

Even if they steal FL, Kerry still wins!

5. Yep
EXACTLY.

It always goes down this way at first. And it looks all good for bush then BLAM the battleground states finally get announced.

THEN it will look VERY different.

6. This is exactly it.
The AP has been complicit in "projecting" the Bush states first, while we are so obviously ahead in Pennsylvania, but they won't call it.

10. Figuring that out now
Although those measly western states were going for Bush anyway, it seems strange to have them called before the eastern states especially considering the time change and poll hours of operation.

13. no doubt....WAKE UP PEOPLE
They are calling ALL UNCONTESTED STATES. There have been NO suprises. MO would have been nice, but in no way necessary. FL probably wont be called until Thursday...they havent added the west coast or the battlegrounds that we WILL get.
