Cuyahoga is in, Bush still ahead 100,000 in Ohio

CNN

[merzbow]

According to the CNN website, Cuyahoga county is reporting at 99% and Bush is still ahead 100,000 in the overall votes. It's looking like the remaining precincts will break at worst even for Bush. With a 100,000 vote lead (about 2%), there is no way Kerry can win this state even assuming a best-case scenario for Kerry in regards to provisonal ballots.

LOL!

That's the statewide results. Here are the Cuyahoga County results.

I hate CBS!!

No, we don't have Iowa just yet, but lets keep an eye on it for the next hour.
And I just heard, Michigan is turning, Bush is within 100 votes of taking the lead.

Ohio is 100,000 vote lead, 92% counted, it would take a miracle for kerry, But I would find it hard to believe.

Kerry has a plane load of lawyers at Logan Airport, taking off for Ohio.

LOL

GEORGE W. BUSH/DICK CHENEY 215118

JOHN F. KERRY/JOHN EDWARDS 432816

(With 1457 of 1458 precincts counted)

According to the Cuyahoga County website only one precinct outstanding and the statewide lead is still 100,000 votes

[IMKDnom]

Ohio is going Bush. Cleveland is 99% reported (from the CNN website) and most of the remaining outstanding votes are in Bush counties(Cincinatti is only 50% reported)

Iowa is also looking like it's gonna go Bush, but by a slim margin.

I'm not real confident with Wisconsin at this point, but we'll see.

We're conservative in hamilton county except for UC and the ghetto. We had to write in our county prosecutor and that's why it's taking to long. Sorry for keeping you all up so late ;)

[Paved Paradise]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Let it be. Praise God, let it be. All those votes from our beloved Homeschoolers families, many of whom I met at the Bush Rally in Westlake a week ago.

According to DU:

We will win Ohio by 23,660 votes in tonight's count-- I've calculated it.

I took the current margins in each of the counties from the official OH website:
http://election.sos.state.oh.us/results/RaceDetail.aspx...

I then divided these margins by the % of precincts reporting for each county to determine the projected final margin.

Result will be, when all said and done, approximately:

Bush 2,326,200
Kerry 2,349,860

---

Margin +23,660

I know of no reason why this will not be reasonably accurate.

Of course it's a victory with .5% of the vote, so that means they will have to wait for the absentees and provisionals to be counted which will take 2 weeks.

AREN'T DUMBASSES ALWAYS RIGHT?

[WoodstockCat]

who reported that?

[Nathan Zachary]

Minnisota has been called for kerry :o(

[Paved Paradise]

Thank God for Cinci!!!

"Kerry won't concede. He doesn't have it in him."

 

Yeah, he would wait until he became President to do that.

 

But he won't have the chance.  Hee hee!

[CatOwner]

I don't think WI is reachable, unless what is left is mostly Republican areas, which is the situation in Nevada.

Another Wellstone lightning bolt?

9 Bush leading counties still have some precincts out (Ashland, Augalize, Clermont, Coshocton, Hamilton, Knox, Tuscarawas, Warren, and Washington; 4 Kerry leading counties still have some precincts out (Cuyahoga/Cleveland; Franklin/Columbus; Lucas/Toledo; and Summit/Akron. Jackson Co. is listed as zero precincts reporting.

[RockinRight]

Good News-Hamilton county is one of the most conservative urban counties in the state!
