Yeppirs, last Wednesday...

It was great :yowsa:

[Almighty Colin]

Still waiting for the first surprise or key battleground state decision.

[sarettah]

Interesting that right now, Kerry is projected at the most electorl votes but has less of the actual vote...

Giant Douche 56% actual 66 electoral
Turd Sandwich 43% actual 77 electoral

and Ralphie just popped 1% of the actual

Still exactly as expected. It's still all about OH, PA, and FL.

[sarettah]

Douche 87
Turd 77

Cnn at 7:30 cst

[sarettah]

Douche breaks 100

Douche 102
Turd 77

7:47pm cst

[Almighty Colin]

Wow, this is great. Every state as expected so far and ... Kerry ahead in PA, Bush ahead in FL and nearly tied in OH. Could be interesting until the last moment.

[vdc-Loki]

hmm, I thought Kerry was the Douche and bush was the turd sandwich?

At any rate, with all this talk about the SP episode, I figured i'd share the "Lets get out and vote" song from that episode

Damn, Florida is definitely gonna be tight it looks like..

Yes, earlier I said "I'm just saying if Kerry has those kind of numbers in the exits in that many states once the polls close there is a very good chance he will win."

Caveat included. Those "exits" were at 4pm ET, 1pm PT. - probably based on half a days data.

BTW, Every state so far has gone with the RealClearPolitics.com average. The average of Gallup/Zogby/etc has been quite accurate.

[Almighty Colin]

Bush doing better overall than Kerry in the battleground states right now.

I'm saying if you use good methodology the error in your results will be predictable. (correct to within x% y% of the time) . An exit poll conducted halfway through the day is
no good because the sample cannot by definition be a random sample of the entire vote.

The usual drivel...... :agrin:


Ok, Cnn has douche at 193 and turd at 112, but I have it douche at 193 turd at 194 because I am giving Kerry California by default, Pennsylvania because it looks like it will go Kerry and Minnesota because it looks again like it will go that way.

I am still looking through all the damn numbers while I try to watch Daily show...lol...

[Almighty Colin]

Here's a close one. Bush ahead by less than 500 in New Hampshire right now.

[sarettah]

Al Sharpton on Daily Show a few minutes ago "If Bush wins tonight it will be the first time he has been elected Pres".....


rotflmfao


I don't like Sharpton much at all, but he can be funny

[Almighty Colin]

Does one vote matter? New Hampshire is trying to prove it does.

Bush 155,161
Kerry 155,152

[Mike AI]

Bush is looking very good in Florida!!


North West Florida is very conservative.....

[sarettah]

My prediction for the rest of this.... Ohio will not end up mattering (unless it comes in earlier then others, not trying to call the order it will come in here)

Starting at the 193 - 112 count it is at right now


Bush 193
Fl 27 220
MI 17 237
WI 10 247
AZ 10 257
NM 6 262
CO 9 271


The rest won't matter.........

lol.... Watched the map give Kerry California as soon as the polls closed....lolol

[sharky]

CNN gives CA to Kerry. Fox still not posted

[Almighty Colin]

There are a lot of votes not counted yet in Ohio in counties going Kerry's way so far.

[Almighty Colin]

Kerry up strongly in Michigan now. Detroit must have come in. This election is going to be CLOSE.

[sarettah]

Don't know why they are holding off on calling Florida. Bush has it by 300,000 votes with 93% of the count in.

I've been looking through the counties list and it doesn't look like there are 300,000 votes left to go Kerry's way

[sarettah]

Damn, CNN web site shows Kerry with 54% of Michigan. That would definitely change what I put up before....

lol...I was calling it at about 7% of the count in...lol...

So, lets see, pull the 17 ev's from Bush for MI and then Ohio starts to matter a whole lot more

I think there's something like 250k absentee ballots in FL to count still. That will take a few days if it comes down to it.

lololol... this thing could potentially go down to Alaska and Hawaii.....

Ah, they just said Hawaii has closed

If Bush wins OH and FL and Kerry wins NV and NH (as currently) and rest of states as expected we would end with 269-269 tie.

Chris Matthews is funny - he looks very ill. He keeps trying to blame the South.... saying Edwards did not help Kerry out. That Southern's won't vote for yankees, etc...

Fox News seems to holding back more then any networks.... I wonder if they are doing this on purpose.

Last I heard there were a handful of polling places that had people lined up before the polls closed that still hadn't gotten to vote.

[pushpills]

msnbc has it at 269


kerry wont run the board


bush is gettin ready to celebrate.

[Hell Puppy]

FFN is projecting Bush as the winner.

[sarettah]

Right now it is 249 Douche, 211 Turd....

If we give Ohio to Bush that takes him to 269

all the others look like they will go to Turd except New Mexico which at this point is way to close to call (Bush ahead by 23,000 with 88% in)

If Kerry takes all including NM it is a tie, So, it looks like New Mexico would become the kingpin

[sarettah]

CNN just projected Ohio as too close to call

Daily Show called it !! They named their live coverage last night "Prelude to a recount"

[RawAlex]

At the end of the day, it goes to show only that the electoral college system ends up giving weight to some voters, and taking it away from others. Popular vote would have settled this a long time ago (not the way I want it settled, but I really don't care).

Your forefathers created a funky system, and now you are paying for it.

They really should pass a law called the "Provide Equal Election Results" law (PEER). In that law, it would be illegal for any state to announce it's results until all states and signalled that they are complete. At that point, all results are released simultaniously. That would avoid this bizarre focusing on one or two states.

At the end of the day, it goes to show only that the electoral college system ends up giving weight to some voters, and taking it away from others. Popular vote would have settled this a long time ago (not the way I want it settled, but I really don't care).

Your forefathers created a funky system, and now you are paying for it.

They really should pass a law called the "Provide Equal Election Results" law (PEER). In that law, it would be illegal for any state to announce it's results until all states and signalled that they are complete. At that point, all results are released simultaniously. That would avoid this bizarre focusing on one or two states.

c'mon,
would YOU let Canadiens vote directly?
;-))

Maybe in another 150 years, if people like Alex evolve a bit
;-)))

Gee, anyone who would spend two minutes checking would realize that voting form prime minister in canada would be difficult, as the system is not set up in that manner. We don't pretend to be actually voting for a leader.

Wig, ya know what? Good idea. thanks.

The idea of Alex thinking he knows a better system the one that our forefathers created makes me grin.

Alex,

You have to pay attention to the words.

I pledge allegiance to the
Flag of the United States,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

What a wonderful morning.

We're not pretending anything. We're voting in accordance with the procedure outlined in the Constitution - one that makes perfect sense for the United STATES of America.

"Pay for it"? What do you mean? We have results 13 hours after the close of the polls.

That was the part that got me.

It's statements like that which cause people to use the words elitist and liberal in the same sentence and in a derrogatory way.

It's a shame.
