Ok folks, heres what it comes down to in Ohio.... provisional & absentee

[ShaneGR]

With almost 100% of precincts reporting in Ohio, we are down by roughly 125-140K depending on which number you look at.

The bottom line is that, in order to win the state Kerry will have to win provisional and absentee balloting by that figure of 125K-140K.

First off, there's no way to tell if there are even 125K absentee and provisional ballots to even count. If there isn't, we lose. If there is, we need to win those votes overwhelmingly.

THE BIG QUESTION IS THIS: HAVE THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE TOTALS?

1. FL's won't be counted for 5 days, so I doubt it. I think they only look

at those ballots if it's close, otherwise they don't bother.
