They are also saying Bush won Georgia with 0%, and Kerry lost with 0%. That OBVIOUSLY doesn't count.
We won't get to the good stuff till around 9-10.
Still I have a good feeling about this; I'm waiting for NJ, which I hear could very well go to Bush and completely through off predictions.

Just getting a thread started about the race. I'm assuming that most will have a few words when the results start coming in. Wanted to be the first to post the first results that come in <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

Yeah, I'm looking foward to New Jersey's results. 2 weeks ago, a poll had them at 50:50. Simply amazing for a "very" blue state
Oh, looks like west virgina is going to bush.
Thanks.
Best bet is to wait for all the State polls to close. And that might take awhile because many local polling stations are extending their deadlines to prevent "disenfranchisement" accusations.
I've been sniffing around through various sites and I have to say that <a href='http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/president/' target='_blank'>CNN's election website</a> appears to be pretty solid. They have access to all Senate and Congressional voting races from every State along with the Presidential race.
They even have 1 of our 2 Ballot Propositions. Of course, we had to vote on whether or not to ban same-sex marriages in the State constitution--I'm sure they'll all be interested in that one. The other was just a vote on whether or not to force our State government to have us vote everytime a new casino or lottery game is proposed here.
Hell I'd vote for Optimus, those darn Decepticons deserve a good beating
BUSH FTW!
Btw. BUSH FOR THE LOOSE!
EDIT: Oops! Bush 193 Kerry 112! MORE WHOOPASS1
Really cool to click back and forth between this year's and 2000 and see how things are lining up... well... almost identical <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If Bush gets elected, I will make you eat those words for the rest of your days on the board.

I consider that a lesser evil <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
They just use projections, that's why.
I fully expect Bush to win, even though I'd prefer different, but it's crazy how much things could still change by the time things are finally decided. I try not to think about it, but... yeah. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Like I said, he wasnt THAT bad a president if it is really this close.
I'd place my bets on New Mexico being the deciding factor. I'm guessing Ohio goes to Bush, but Kerry could have a solid shot at New Hampshire and Nevada, which (of course, assuming all other trends match 2000) could tip the balance. Of course, New Mexico may go to Bush, meaning it comes down to NH, in which case I think the shift in electoral vote movement gives an extra +6 or so to the GOP compared to 2000 (and even in the event of the same electoral split as previous with NH shifting, there'd be no one reaching 270, which would make things REAL fun....)
It's still anyone's race right now.
Well, not mine. Or Ralph Nader's. But you know what I mean.
Send back some cheese!
Bush has this, GG.
