Thanks dd74...

Don't you think all those 'political commentators' on all the stations (CNN, FOX, et al) would be more useful if they'd assisnt with the counting instead of spending hours upon hours of chit-chat about the election?!?

Wait a second - haven't WE spend hours upon hours doing the same here.... Hmmm...

Nighty-nite!

LOL! We're not as plastic, though. SmileWavy

island911 11-02-2004 11:16 PM

All Bush needs is 35% of whats left in oHIo.

dd74 11-02-2004 11:25 PM

Okay, so what's up? Did Kerry win Hawaii? I saw a quick ABC graphic that there's a possibility he could get up to 252, making Ohio the crown jewels.

What's still up for grabs beside Hawaii. Come on, guys. Don't fall asleep on Island and me.

Porschekid962 11-02-2004 11:28 PM

Some how, this feels like 12:40am

wonder why? :rolleyes:

Porschekid962 11-02-2004 11:41 PM

So many different polls, so many different results. I reckon I can sleep on it until things are finallized. Plus I just got some b&tchin Pcar vids and at least there we all stand on common ground haha, so off to hear blowoffs popping, MFI roaring, and Porsche's winning.

D'oh, that must be it. Here I thought that it was SUNDAY morning. . .around 2am. :cool:

Rufblackbird 11-02-2004 11:54 PM

I guess most of y'all can't stay up that late for the final results :D

So far...it almost seems for sure that Bush is gonna win...

island911 11-02-2004 11:56 PM

So what's the deal? . .is Kerry holding on to the idea that he will take 75% of the last 3.2% of the ballots in Ohio?

I think everyone in Ohio, went home. . . .stopped counting.

kmhemi 11-02-2004 11:56 PM

make sure somebody post the final word. I am at work all night so the PC is the only way I have to check.
Go W

island911 11-03-2004 12:04 AM

an Ohio update.

Number needed to break 50%

Bush --12,533
Kerry-150,144


Any word from Hawaii . .. Jeff?

UconnTim97 11-03-2004 12:09 AM

wow, this is an exciting election....late field goal wins it

island911 11-03-2004 12:15 AM

an Ohio update.

Now Bush needs only get 6.5% of what's left in oHIo. (meaning Kerry would need to get 93.5% of the remaining uncounted)

Yet CNN, NYTimes, won't give GW oHIo. Pathetic.

Rufblackbird 11-03-2004 12:18 AM

Local news just gave Bush Ohio.

Kerry leads Bush here by 33,012 votes; pretty much certain our miniscule 4 votes goes to Kerry. Hawaii has been a predominately Democrat state, voting Republican only two times, for Nixon and Reagan.

island911 11-03-2004 12:21 AM

I thought you guys chose Ford too.

Rufblackbird 11-03-2004 12:28 AM

According to a local news website, "Kerry is counting on Hawaii to deliver again. in fact, the only times Hawaii backed a republican candidate was in 1984 with Ronald Reagan and 1972 with Richard Nixon."

dagwood928 11-03-2004 12:36 AM

turnout...
 
California city Ca.... Got back from voting, they had so many people, that they had to start using spanish ballots for the last few english speaking voters!! Really!!!

ok, I can't sleep until this is finished up.

Flip to CNN, i think Larry King is about to go postal.

bryanthompson 11-03-2004 01:16 AM

also, take a look at www.airamericaradio.com Looks pretty sad for those clowns. I'm listening to them ramble on right now... it's pretty pathetic.

Adam 11-03-2004 02:23 AM

As of 2:30am (CA time), CNN has...

Bush at 254
Kerry at 252

yellow911turbo 11-03-2004 02:27 AM

ok, everyone is asleep and i'm awake now.

cnn has it 254 - 252 bush lead
fox has it 269 - 242 bush lead

i'm not sure which states they don't share, but looks like fox gave OH to bush and NBC is also giving it to bush.

edit: wanted to add some things that i've calculated.

fox hasn't given NM to bush yet, but with my calculations, kerry would have to win every vote of the 1% that's left to take NM.
same goes for IA. kerry would have to take every vote to win.
so it is down to OH. currently bush is up 2,793,592 to kerry's 2,656,295 with 99% reporting. i'm not sure how the absentee ballots and the umm... what are they called? provisional ballots.
fox just said that there are about 170k provisional ballots in OH. almost all of those would have to go to kerry for bush to lose and for kerry to be the next president. i'm sure someone out there has calculated the odds of that happening but i'm pretty sure it's not very good.

i don't want to be the one that calls it, but looks like we're gonna have 4 more years of the same. i can't say that i'm very excited about it, but considering what kerry may have brought, i think i'll take 4 more years of the same.

andrew card, chief of staff, is speaking now. he said that they are looking at bush's win with at least 284 votes. also said that bush is the first to win with more popular votes since 80-something. not sure how official his call for an OH win is, but... he said it.

cheers,
serge

yellow911turbo 11-03-2004 02:47 AM

when edwards gave his "we've waited for years for this, we can wait one more night..." he looked like he was on drugs. i know i know... he was just tired, but i tell you what. his hair looked great.

red-beard 11-03-2004 02:55 AM

Ohio is not Florida. Florida was under 2000 votes between the candidates (Norrowed to a few hunddred). Bush beat Gore in Ohio last time by over 100,000 votes and it's 150,000 this time. Why is it too close to call?

Crap. 5 Am and no wiener...

Mark Wilson 11-03-2004 04:16 AM

Bush (t)wins

rcecale 11-03-2004 04:20 AM

I was surfing through the chanels last night around 1:30am....happened across cBS with Dan Blather still hosting......MAN, he looked furious!!!!! :D

mikester 11-03-2004 06:34 AM

I'm kind of surprised they haven't called it yet...but oh well...personally I think it is wise for Kerry not to concede until the EC has voted.

I'm very disappointed; We'll likely have another 4 years of zero diplomacy and more war.

As much as I am disappointed in the presidential race I am also disappointed in the California ballot measures...

The voted for the DNA sampling which allows law enforcement to collect samples just based on an arrest or charge. Not guilt....stupid people...

When Rather Biased Dan announced the results of the "Republican revoloution" he looked like someone had just told him that his son was doing gay porn on the internet.

Actually, my first thought was that he was on drugs also. But then I realized what he DID look like.

A trial lawyer looking to file an expensive frivolous appeal on a case he just lost.

CNN still won't call New Mexico, Iowa or Ohio. Silly.
