GON, but these are just exit polls which. I don'tknow how accurate they are because according to them Kerry should carry the state.

[SpursWoman]

The exit polls have been proven in about 12 states so far to be totally worthless. The Kerry camp was pretty pumped up earlier...they aren't so much now.

Now on Drudge...with a grain of salt:

GOP predicts Ohio, Bush win
Tue Nov 02 2004 23:02:04 ET

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- White House sources are telling UPI that they believe George W. Bush will win Ohio and be re-elected president of the United States.

At 10:30 p.m., Bush was told by a senior adviser that Ohio would land in the GOP column and put him over the top with at least 274 electoral votes, the sources said.

"We're very upbeat," Bush said as he watched returns in the Yellow Room at the White House with family members -- including his father, former President George H.W. Bush. "I believe I will win."

Bush's comments shortly before 10 p.m. EST reflected rising Republican hopes that Bush will win Florida and remain in contention in Ohio. Winning both those states would almost certainly return him to office.

The comments were also timed to reach voters in states where the polls had not yet closed including Hawaii, Nevada and Oregon. CNN had Bush leading with 193 electoral votes to Sen. John Kerry's 112.

Looks like the race is gonna come down to Ohio, and we may not know conclusively until all absentee and provisional ballots are either counted or discounted.

[AlamoSpursFan]

If Ohio breaks for Bush, I will never again rag on them for their 55mph Truck Speed Limit.

:lol

[NeoConIV]

It ain't over till it's over...

[NeoConIV]

55? WTF?? That's Slooooooooooooooooooow...

[ducks]

82% in and bush is ahead by 3%

[SpursWoman]

Fox is calling Ohio for Bush. ;)

[pooh]

Fox just gave it to Bush in Ohio

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

My buddy on Bush's staff 5 minutes ago: "by 12:30 (CDT) Ohio will be called."

[Shelly]

:lol I fell asleep on the couch and my husband woke me up by yelling, "YEah!"

[MannyIsGod]

it is very possible that if Alaska and Ohio are the last states W wins, he will still fall short of 270 at 269 electoral votes. However, it would then go into the House where i'm sure they would vote him into office.

But, the senate would stand a chance of voting in Kerry as vp, and that woudl be fucking odd. do not discount how important New Mexico is at the moment as well.

[T Park]

BUSH GOT OHIO!!!

BUT

The democrats are raising a stink about people waiting in line since 1 30 this afternoon and just now getting to vote.

Looks like they are gonna raise a stink about Ohio

Can't believe they called Ohio. There are still a lot of ballots out in democratic controlled areas. Just watch, it's gonna tighen up and we might have the 2000 nightmare all over again before the night is over.

[SpursWoman]

BUSH GOT OHIO!!!

They are still getting to vote and regardless of the official time of poll closing, their votes will still count.

Kerry camp needs to STFU. :)

[Spurminator]

Calling Ohio was a bad decision. Better to wait until there can be no doubt than to open up the floodgates of specultion and paranoia.

[NeoConIV]

This doesn't 'feel' close like 2000...

[MannyIsGod]

I don't think anything is goingto change bush getting OH.

But I will say this.

Republicans or Democrats or Independents, making people wait 9 hours in line to vote is FUCKED.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manny - Bush is up 20K in Ohio with 80% in.

Dan, sorry (not really) but Bush is up 140K votes, with 77% of Cuyahoga County (where Dems were expecting to close the gap) in.

[shyne]

ya this shit is taking long

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I agree with you Manny, although I heard that report was false.

My source said the longest line in Columbus was 4 hours, and the election officials passed out paper ballots to those waiting in line. Two hours later, the lines were gone.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Update (just for Dan :D )

100K vote lead in Ohio, with 90% of Demo stronghold Cuyahoga County in.

[pooh]

James Carville basically said it's over for Kerry.

[Nbadan]

both Cuyahoga and Frankin counties are still out, and they are going Kerry by better than 60%. Fox is back-tracking.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, AHF, but that's still not a very large margin at all. and I nkow you meant NM.

I think the most likely scenario rightnow is a very narrow bush win by 274 EV, but it's not certain.

[ducks]

nbc just said with 86%
that bush is ahead by 100k votes

[MannyIsGod]

but there aren't enough votes left in those counties Dan, there just aren't.

[T Park]

im praying Manny is correct.

[ducks]

nbc just projected bush wins ohio

[AlamoSpursFan]

NBC now calling Ohio and Alaska for President Bush...

269.

Hey buddy, can you spare an Electorial Vote?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dan how fucking hard is it to read?

87% reporting in Ohio, Bush up 104K. 90% of Cuyahoga and 91% of Franklin counties are in.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

While I'm at it, Iowa is dead head, expected to go Bush. Same for Nevada. New Mexico is over, per my source.

Over 280 EV for Bush per Bush insiders.

[whottt]

If Ohio breaks for Bush, I will never again rag on them for their 55mph Truck Speed Limit.

:wtf I thought Kerry was up by over 110K in Minny?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If Edwards is coming out to speak, that means they're going to give some BS spin about how fraud was committed in Ohio and they will be fighting it.

You know it, he's a lawyer.

[Marcus Bryant]

Bush down 18K in Wisconsin with 87% of precincts reporting.

[SpursWoman]

He meant Wisconsin...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah Kori, it's late, I'm watching 8 sets of numbers come in every 5 minutes, I goofed.

Sorry.

Less than 16K in Wisconsin now.

Go Packers!

Oh fuck these scumbags. You lost. Get over it already.

Don't expect class from libs. Only Republicans give that in elections(even the impeachable ones)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Wisconsin. Stick a fork in them.

[T Park]

come on Iowa, Come on New Mexico, come on Wisconsin.

I give up, im going to bed.

Seeing as Kerry is gonna be a shit head and contest contest contest, were in another election quagmire thanks to project longface.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

My source says looking at their research on the outstanding counties in Wisconsin is that they won't pick up enough votes there.

[Kori Ellis]

Well if Kerry is going to protest Ohio, then I'm sure Bush can protest Wisconsin :)

[Hook Dem]

Well if Kerry is going to protest Ohio, then I'm sure Bush can protest Wisconsin :)
Well, that would be fair wouldn't it?

[Das Texan]

its only fitting that this is happening again...this time with the democrats the side complaining.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Where's Dan?

100% reporting in his Franklin County...


Kerry, John F. Democratic 275,573 53.78%
Bush, George W. Republican 234,196 45.70%

(other .5 or whatever went to other candidates)

[T Park]

werent they complaining in 2000 as well???

Its identical to 2000. Have class, concede.

Nope, gotta fight "the man"

[Das Texan]

i dont recall the republicans having much class in 2000.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

98% precincts reporting in Ohio, Bush is up 137,606 votes.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Brokaw arguing with Rudy over the vote in Ohio. What an ass.

[ducks]

kerry is an fucking idiot

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

From the statistician department:

If there were 250K votes outstanding in Ohio, Kerry would have to win 80% to make up the difference.

Not gonna happen.

[Marcus Bryant]

Uh in 2000 Bush was actually leading in the disputed state, not down by 125,000 votes.

[Kori Ellis]

Popular vote margin getting even bigger.

Popular Vote 90% of Precincts Reporting (AP)

George W. Bush 51% 54,140,800
John Kerry 48% 50,387,016

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So what are the odds that CBS/NBC/CNN will call Wisconsin for Kerry before they even talk about Nevada, NM, or Iowa?

Where's vBookie? ;)

[Kori Ellis]

Not calling NM is frickin' ridiculous.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bush now up 139K in Ohio.

concede bastards.

Also up over 30K in NM.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Kori, they won't call it because the Demo lawyers are talking about lawsuits there.

[Marcus Bryant]

This is unreal.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Shit, Bush is up 38,000 votes in NM with 97% of precincts reporting. Call it already.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

For a good laugh check out CNN, they're trying to pull votes out of their ass to make up the difference.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bush to speak to nation upon calling of Nevada, NM, per source. No wonder the damn media won't call it.

[ducks]

nbc has said 175k provison are left in ohio
and in 2000 90% counted last year
so there is still no way kerry wins

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

lol, Larry King is like "the lead in Ohio keeps going up, fucking call it already."

[Marcus Bryant]

This is absurd. There are also military absentee ballots coming in are those really going to break for Kerry?

I would expect nothing less from the Gigolo and the Trial Lawyer.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nevada is now 90% reporting, Bush up 24K votes.

Bush prepping to ask Kerry who his daddy is.

[Kori Ellis]

Bush's leading in Ohio is almost as big as Kerry's lead in Pennsylvania -- it's laughable. Kerry is a frickin' nut if he thinks he's going to get anywhere with this.

The popular vote difference is almost FOUR MILLION -- GIVE UP!!!!

[Marcus Bryant]

Per CNN only 134K provisional ballots exist. Bush's lead is larger than that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Word Kori. The sad thing (well not really for me but in the grand scheme of things) is that if they protest this, they're just gonna piss off the majority of Americans even more.

Could we be witnessing the demise of the Democratic party before our very eyes?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

99% of precincts reporting in Iowa, Bush up 13K+.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah Pennsylvania's margin is the reverse of Ohio and the combined vote totals are about the same.

At this point the Demos will just drag this out to hurt Bush.

[Marcus Bryant]

I wouldn't mind seeing Kerry-Edwards drag this out some because people would get sick of this shit quick and they would know which party to blame.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Message from my source...


Go to bed. Bush won.

[ducks]

bush is turning the heat up
they said the other guy does not have to concede to claim victory

[NeoConIV]

I think a Bush victory could be 'unofficially' announced tonight. Ohio is such an EXTREME stretch for Kerry....

[Marcus Bryant]

Fuck it, once Bush breaks 270 he should claim victory and leave it at that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This just in...

Kerry waiting to tomorrow, will poll to see if he should concede. More at 6.

:lol

[whottt]

If you guys are getting bored I hightly reccomend watching CBS and soaking up some liberal misery.

These fuckers are stunned...they don't see how their hatred and embracing whackos and character assasinating a sitting president has aliented the majority of the country.

Their bias is so apparent...as they sit there and ponder what's wrong with the country these dumbasses don't realize they can see the problem just by looking in the mirror.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bush up 20K in Nevada with 99% of precincts reporting.

Up 26K in New Mexico with 98% reporting.

Ohio up 144K with 99% in.

Up 14K with 99% reporting in Iowa.

What does it take to get this shit called?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

whott,

Go watch CNN. They are still talking about "if things turn around and Kerry pulls out NM, Nevada, and Iowa, that makes this a 269-269 tie."

:lmao

[Marcus Bryant]

Oh good a tie. Then it goes to the House and Bush wins.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah but then they could bitch about how the House is biased, or something.

It's just comical because Larry King's like "shit, the lead's getting bigger, let's call this bitch so I can go home and go to bed."


Edit: damn my brain is tired, let's end this people!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn this is great stuff.

Dan Rather: things aren't always as they seem.

[Marcus Bryant]

Larry Brown?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sweet, yahoo is calling NV for Bush.

[Marcus Bryant]

I believe Bush's margin of victory is larger in Ohio than Kerry's alleged winning margins in Michigan and Pennsylvania. I'm sure the Democrats would really like the voting process in Philadelphia gone over with a fine toothed comb.

Concede, bitches.

[whottt]

Let em show their ass MB....maybe they'll figure out what they're doing wrong and get their party straightened out.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fox News has US troops on from Iraq, lining up saying they voted for Bush and are glad that he won.

One they talked to was 19, another 21.

Don't they know they're supposed to be against the war?

[Marcus Bryant]

I'm sure if Kerry was up by 4 million popular votes nationally and 144,000 in Ohio that the media would be so understanding of a reluctance on Bush's part to concede.

Fuck, even Nixon conceded a close presidential election.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BTW, this hasn't made the news seeings all they're talking about is election, but US troops in and around Kandahar commenced and are still carrying out a large scale assault on the city, commanding officer on the ground says no let up until the people of the city give them all the terrorists, including Zarqawi.

Good stuff.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF?

Bush lead in NM down to 1000 votes. Where'd the Demos come up with those votes at?

[Marcus Bryant]

CBS calls Nevada for Bush.

'Bout time.

[Marcus Bryant]

147,000 lead in Ohio now for Bush.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bush up 3300 in NM with 99% of the vote in (including absentee).

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Brokaw: "what's wrong with waiting another eight hours?"

Bush rep: "uh, we won dumbass."

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Demo party lawyer: "I don't think we could get enough votes in Ohio."

[Nbadan]

Kerry still has a right to ask of a recount given the provisional ballots and the math not adding up with exit polls.

[whottt]

Why recount it? The fix was in obviously...Bought paid for and stolen baby. My advice?

Try not to have conflicting conspiracy theories...it creates Republicans.

[Marcus Bryant]

Kerry has no right for a recount just because he lost.

Four more years.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck the exit polls, they are not accurate dumbass. Polls have a margin of error, from what I've heard of +/- up to 20%. Why should we recount based on that?

Further, nowhere in election law is a recount required because some dipshit liberal gets his panties in a bunch about the exit polls.

Give up.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BTW Dan, the late surge just ain't gonna come from Ohio.

Bush up 134K in Ohio.

100% reporting from Franklin, Cuyahoga.

[Nbadan]

Voting Continues in Ohio?

Yep, ABC News just reported at 3 in the morning that people are still lined up and voting in at least TWO precincts in Ohio -- including predominantly college students at one polling area. With cell phones and portable cameras, it's startling to me that we weren't seeing LIVE FOOTAGE of people lined up and voting in the most hotly contested state in the country, but there you are.

Ohio is STILL casting ballots and there are provisional ballots AND overseas ballots AND absentee ballots. I am disconsolate at this moment that it was even close, much less that Kerry is trailing in the popular vote. But is it too much to ask that we count every vote or at least wait until people have stopped voting in Ohio before calling it a day?

Laughably, a Republican lackey just insisted that it was outrageous that Kerry's people wanted to wait until all the votes were counted and claimed the Democrats were gonna try all sorts of legal wrangling and that the American people want their leaders chosen by voters and not by activist judges. Amen, brother, but where the hell were you in 2000?
