270 to win

[island911]

Bush still has Florida, even if ALL remaining Broward Co votes got to Kerry.

Do those percentages for total include absentee ballots? I realize that they can't be counted yet, but are they at least in the total?

On Fox. Does she sound like she's been drinking?

[dd74]

CNN states "unofficially" that the Kerry camp has conceded Fla.

[bryanthompson]

I think ABC just added them in there.

red: do you mean susan estrich? I can't stand her. argh.

[bryanthompson]

Didn't abc call FL first in 2k?

[red-beard]

Yeah, she's slurring...

I don't think they are. I could be wrong, though.

CBS called Florida for Bush

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

Well I will be pissed if Washington comes out close. (wife & I voted thirdparty)

But I'm quite certain, in this Subaru-stickered State, Bush doesn't stand a chance.


But Florida . . . that's done. (Bush)

IIRC from the 2000 election, most of the absentee ballots in FL are from the miliary, no?

That would help Bush, hurt Kerry.

The more they count, the more bush gets... he's leading by 291,082 right now with 93.9% in.

Edit: in FL, that is.

[island911]

NY Times has Bush up (FL) 321k 96.9%in 2.5%lead

[red-beard]

The Pubs think that the absentee will add something like 120K to Bush.

[bryanthompson]

With florida, that makes 237 for the good guys

add 9 for colorado
5 for new mexico
20 for ohio

and that makes 271. without Washington, Oregon, Cali, NV, Iowa, Wisconsin, or Michigan... Hopefully we can grab a few of them though.

Have to say that it doesn't look good for Kerry right now. Bush has a 150,000 lead in Ohio with ~75% of votes counted, & it seems like if Bush gets that one he's in.

For some reason Fox News refuses to give Florida to Bush, although when I count the # of votes not counted is less than Bush's margin?

[bryanthompson]

I think they're tryin' to stick it to the other networks and lefties... since FoxNews is "responsible" for givin' florida to Bush the first time... ack.

[island911]

yeah, FL at 97.2in, and 4.71 Lead for Bush
oHIo 67.8% in and 3.5% lead for Bush
4 for Hawaii ?

Well, Kerry still has all that Money.

[Z-man]

OH is still too close.
52% for Bush (2,166,221), 48% for Kerry (2,032,314); 76% in.
