I promised God that if President Bush wins, I'll quit smoking on Saturday. I hope I have to!

Count me in.

[nutmeg]

I'm going with an Australian Shiraz... need to pace myself.

That's what I'm drinking, too. As another FReeper mentioned, I hope I don't start slurring my posts!

[mabelkitty]

Yes, he was, and they lied - he isn't popular - he just isn't a Democrat.

[floriduh voter]

Yes, I'm glad I got here early to this thread. George Clooney's dad is losing 53 to 42%. (state - too fast to see). FOX NEEDS TO SLOW DOWN THEIR GRAPHICS. I cannot follow them.

[TheLion]

Good news in Ohio!

[meow]

There she goes!

Everyone was flipping out because VA started out bright blue... I mean, if they started counting in a dem county like Fairfax, who would be surprised? But this is BUSH COUNTRY!!!

Hey, I know many of you are very emotionally invested in tonight's outcome, but that being said, I thought it was noteworthy to post what "the dark siders" are reporting (i.e., Lefty blogs).

Per Wonkette, FWIW, about 30 minutes ago (WARNING: If you don't want to read any unsubstantiated "bad news", look away):

"A certain high ranking former republican senator called Karl Rove around 5:15 this evening. Bush's brain sounded "dejected" and gave less than a 30% chance for a Bush win."

Hey, don't shoot me...

[marajade]

Fox was saying that Mel Martinez had a better chance of winning than Bush in FL... What the heck?

[Recovering_Democrat]

pray pray pray pray pray pray pray

[cajungirl]

Everytime someone says do not panic, I am going for a glass of wine followed by a shot topped off with a snickers bar.

We have the inalterable right to panic dammit,,scuse me while I go get my drinks.

[mdittmar]

Taking tommorrow off,gonna be a long night.

Based on past viewing of returns in Florida, the Republican needs to net close to 60 percent in the early returns to be assured of a victory, since South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward and Miami Dade) report later and will erode any (R) lead.

What about the Panhandle?

[AUTiger04]

If Bush can maintain his slim lead in FL before the pan handle polls close, he can put it in the win column.

[Mrs.Liberty]

When I get home..it'll be to a bottle of 2 buck chuck!

But first, to the polls.

[justshe]

Bush just shot ahead in VIRGINIA 57-42% with 3% of the vote counted.



PLEASE.........NEVER EVER EVER use the word "shot" and Bush in the same sentence!!!!!!

[demlosers]

Bush maintained a lead of 120,000 - 140,000 votes in Florida until around 90% counted, then the 4 big rat counties unleashed the dimple chads.

[BlueYonder]

>>Just heard on FOX....Voinovich (R-OH) has been elected... <<

I heard this on Hugh Hewitt within the past 10 minutes.
