Honestly, I think Florida is lost
I could be wrong, but it doesn't look like we can win in Florida. Bush is ahead by 300,000 votes. The early votes have been counted. Absentee ballots remain to be counted, but it's only 90,000.

It's gonna come down to Ohio. How are Wisconsin, Iowa, and New Mexico looking? How about Nevada?

This will be a nailbiter.

1. Wisconsin is down by 70,000. New Mexico down 16,000
We have Iowa. Ohio isn't look good.

7. If we are down by 300,000, then 250,000 doesn't matter, right?
:(

11. See, I've seen conflicting facts
Some are saying 1.6 million still to be counted, but recently I've only been seeing 90,000 more.

12. Do we know that?
I've got myself very confused. Do we know how many voters there are in FL -- if we have a rough number we will know if they have been counted or no just by the math.

19. Yes, but I'm not going to listen to just a post w/o a link or a source!
I could post that there are 2 million left to be counted in NH! Doesn't make it true!

24. You've seen the 2 million in NH number now, too! Believe that?
Find a source, or stop chiding people for not believing you.

10. I think you're right, and I think it won't matter.
As long as Ohio turns out as we all expect it will.

16. I think Florida has been re-stolen
Although I would love to see the results of a serious analysis of electronic machines there.

I'm sure the results of such an analysis may show interesting things going on there. No rational country would allow the Diebold shitboxes in their voting process.

18. Astounding media flub if they aren't including early votes.

27. Look at the numbers
Kerry has 188 EV right now

If he wins:

Ohio = 20
Wash = 11
Iowa = 7
Mich = 17
Minn = 10
NH = 7
Oreg = 7
Nev = 5

He adds 84 to his total = 272. He is ahead right now in all these states, except Ohio, and I think he has a slim chance there because of the problems with voting in Cuyahoga county.
