OK...Can someone tell me how were going to win Ohio?
Were down and I'm confident...but I don't know what needs to happen to make up for the deficit. I was waiting for Florida to go Blue and it hasn't happened... Will Ohio go Blue?

2. I believe Ohio IS blue.
But this is the big news story of the year, so the mainstream media will milk it for all it's worth.

3. READ THE FREAKING BOARD
Christ there are about a dozen posts mentioning that the three main urban areas are still voting b/c of polling place problems and they haven't reported yet.

4. I think it's about done........
the #s just aren't moving. People will say Cleveland etc...not reporting. More and more precincts reporting from Cleveland and other "Dem" areas, and the #s aren't moving for us. Networks want to drag this out for ratings, but I think this thing can be called in 30 minutes.

5. Here's what needs to happen:
You need to wait for urban counts. The pro-Kerry votes yet to be reported from Cincinnati and Cuyahoga will give a significant boost to Kerry.

Remember: Urban results come in after rural. And urban votes Kerry.

13. If they're Diebold
Maybe the "W" worm or "roVe" virus slows down the system while it makes its "adjustments." There's a reason that the demand for a paper trail was ignored by the media, you know.

6. Ohio will be blue
They haven't counted the city votes yet- Kerry will get upwards of 60% in those ares. Coyuhoga county (cleveland) has only reported 10% and so far 75K votes for Kerry 60%

3. You're missing something simple



Cincinnati's yet to be reported votes and the hundreds of thousands of yet to be reported Kerry votes in Cuyahoga will give a significant boost to Kerry.

12. I'm affraid it's going to be in litigation.
It appears there is something going on in Ohio with a bunch of lawyers. I'm worried that this might be some attempt to steal this election by using the court system. After all, they have way way too much riding on this.

16. Al Franken predicts that Ohio will go blue
because in the urban areas around Cleveland, which traditionally vote Democratic, they are still voting. He doesn't think that we will know the results until tomorrow. He called Florida for Bush*, but still believes that we can pull this off.:shrug:
