I hate to sound naive here, but can you help me understand how it is that they can tell us that they had 800,000 absentee votes to count as of last night - so they can't tell us who are gov. is yet - but they were able to definitively state that Kerry won in WA (K - 1,166,484 vs B - 1,002,546) and that Nethercutt LOST (N - 926,936 vs M - 1,202,542)
How can they do that? If the number of absentees exceeds the win percentage - than - they shouldn't be able to call it - we only have a few mass lib hubs - so approximately 600,000 votes are coming from heavily conservative areas. WHAT GIVES??
Nethercut must have lost by more votes than are still outstanding, same with the Presidential race. I guess..... good question though. 36 of 39 counties in WA went for Bush, and he still lost the state. Time to break King County up........for many reasons!
AMEN to that.
