something like 1.6 million absentee ballots - not enough to turn it alone.

I'm no CNN but if you add all the states where W is leading (assuming the completion of the counts continues the same trend) he is still the president.
On the Florida issue, the split is roughly 200K votes but (reportedly) there are some 140-150K mail in votes which are still being counted. Thus the reason no one will call it yet.

Don't know why they haven't called Florida (27 electoral votes) for Bush already. Seems obvious, unless uncounted absentee ballots are a large factor.
Ohio (20 electoral votes) genuinely looks too close to call. Based on precincts reporting so far, Bush is ahead. But most of the precincts that have reported so far are from small counties. The three largest counties by far (I assume these are the most urban ones, but I don't know) are leaning Kerry, so far: Cuyahoga (17% reported, 60% Kerry 40% Bush), Franklin (68% reported, 51% Kerry 49% Bush), and Hamilton (9% reported, 51% Kerry 49% Bush). The next two largest counties (Montgomery and Summit) are also leaning Kerry, so far. Looks like Kerry and Bush are splitting the other Great Lakes states - Wisconsin Michigan (leaning Bush, but <20% reported: 27 electoral votes) Iowa and Minnesota (leaning Kerry, but <20% reported: 17 votes), Indiana (called for Bush, 11 votes) and Illinois (called for Kerry, 21 votes). So this group of state might well end up 38 votes for Bush, 38 for Kerry. Assume Montana (3 votes), Colorado (9 votes), New Mexico (5 votes), Nevada (5 votes), Idaho (4 votes) and Alaska (3 votes) all go to Bush, while New Hampshire (4 votes), California (55 votes), Oregon (7 votes), Washington (11 votes) and Hawaii (4 votes) go to Kerry. That would make Bush 286 and Kerry 231, before Ohio is counted. So, my math is: To win, Kerry must win Ohio and carry all the other states that are currently leaning to him, as well as OR and WA, and a couple of states currently leaning to Bush. To win, Bush must either win Ohio, or simply carry the states that are already leaning to him. EDIT: I think this is right - I hunted up a calculator . . .

As long as people are in line (And got in line when the polls were still open) they have to stay open until the last one votes.

Oh, crap, I can't keep up with this. MI and NV just flipped to lean Kerry and it is too early in the counting to say if they'll flip again. WA is darn close, and NH remains so. Ignore my attempt at math (above), I'm just going to open a beer and listen to the talking heads on TV for a while.

AZ and MT are projected for Bush.
FL and OH are too close, but Bush has the overall lead in both... Talk about nail biters....

I hate California politics. I'm sure they called the state for Kerry after a single vote. "Yup. Kerry."
Looks like we'll spend 3 BILLION dollars in a drug company subsidy for stem cell research that THEY WERE DOING AT THIER OWN EXPENSE ANYWAY!!!! I know it's late, but I better get back to work to start paying for this crap.

WTF? Yahoo is showing Washington 49%-49% with 3% reporting and they're giving it to Kerry?
