[montana500]

Ther eis hope!! Kerry will win Iowa, Wis, Oregon, and NM
.


We need Ohio, and we may get it.

[liberalmuse]

1. The state of my birth.

My roots. By god, Ohio better go for Kerry! I believe!

[deadparrot]

2. All our hopes on OH...

PLEASE DELIVER, OH.

PLEASE.

[AlamoDemoc]

3. We need OH, FL, AR, and NV

First thing is first...we need Ohio, then FL, then AR, and then HI &
AR

[AlamoDemoc]

8. Frankling county and knox county are still voting in OH

[Hamlette]

9. no, we just need Ohio.

but it is not looking good.

[Bush was AWOL]

16. Wrong. We just need Ohio.

[geek tragedy]

4. Cuyahoga will put Kerry over the top when counted.

All of the small town crap has been counted. Cleveland hasn't.

[mzmolly]

7. Is Cuyahoga county Cleveland?

:hi:

[Tatiana]

11. Yes!

People were still voting as of 9:30 because of the long lines due to the Republican challenges. We have yet to see those returns.

[lstrether]

12. hope Cleveland does; Cincinnati might not.

I sure hope Cleveland puts it over the top, as you say.

This county (Hamilton) is too full of suburban repub-lickins; and the districts are gerrymandered so that someone who lives well within the city limits (like me) shares a congressman with someone who lives in a yuppieville like Terrace Park or Indian Hill. So we never get democratic congressmen. We get idiots like the annual winner of the worst comb-over in congress, chief clinton inquisitor at the impeachment, steve chabot.

For president, though, they can't gerrymander us so they filled our polling places with challengers. Who knows if they had an affect? Anyhow we are still hoping for the best.

18. This sounds like when people were trying to convince us that

counties in FL would put us over the top, and we're still down.

[LSK]

5. no it doesnt

I have a model that we loose OH and FL but get Missouri and we win.

[bpilgrim]

10. or

NH, which we are leading :bounce:

peace

[demothinker]

6. Where do you see WI?

I don't see Kerry ahead there anywhere.

[RollergirlVT]

13. we don't need ohio or FL

we only need to win NH and hold onto to the 2000 Gore states. That's all and Kerry gets 271 electoral votes and the White House.

[Bunny]

14. No. Redistricting changed the EV's for some states.

We HAVE to have either OH or FL. If we lose both, we're done.

[Joe Turner]

15. Polls are still open in at least 2 counties because of turnout

Unreal lines streching blocks. People waiting in line for 9 hours! What happened here? Looks like all these people will be allowed to vote on a alternative paper ballot.

This coupled with the rural counties reporting before the urban areas, Ohio is VERY MUCH ALIVE for Kerry.

[Rex_Goodheart]

17. Kerry is down 170,000 votes with 59% of precincts in...

Does not look good.

[strategery blunder]

21. And the precincts yet to report are the ones with the massive turnout

the precincts in rural fundie-loving counties have already been counted.

Ohio is a coin toss. Do not give up on it yet.

[shelley806]

19. I just googled Diebold voting machines, and they are substantial in OH

and FL....am I being too pessimistic to disbelieve if B* wins either of these states? They are also in CA. Diebold backs B* supporters.
Will there be questions if margin of error in states which use these machines be challenged?

I can't post, although I've done so many times...or I'd post this as a separate issue.

[Awsi Dooger]

20. Correct, this has been obvious for two hours

Once the Florida numbers got away from us.

Ohio is not what I wanted to depend on. Too much of a conservative tendency, always 3 or 4 points more red than the nation in general. I'm not sure a bad economy and job loss can overcome that.

But I'm here until the finish rooting it in.

[Was_Immer]

22. We lost

Ah f**k I hope the weather is warm in Iraq
