Bush up in Iowa!!!!!

Kerry is still holding out hope for Ohio. He's claiming "250,000 votes" yet to be counted. What the heck those votes specifically are, no one on the alphabs seems to know.

But one has to hope that the margin is reasonably wide, or else OH cannot be officially called for almost TWO WEEKS! They could probably count the absentee in a couple of days. But the provisional ballots - oh, the provisional ballots. And those become an issue if the margin of victory is less than the number of these awful provisional ballots that were issued. I saw someone suggest it's less than 150K. But right now - with 91% of the vote counted - and Cleveland not completely counted which is sKerry country, the margin for Bush is only about 100K.
