Bush is up by 1/2 mil in FL...
Bush now trading at 50.0 on Tradesports - first time he's been there since trading as low as 28 when the leak of the first exit polls came out. I got in at 35... my $500 is gonna turn into $1429!
Not bad for a day's work!
Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! for all this GREAT music!
MORE GOP CONFIDENCE [KJL]
From an insider:
We are feeling very confident about Florida. So are people on the ground there, who know a good deal about these things. Among the specific facts worth noting:
In DuVal County, our goal was to win by a 40,000 person margin. We’re now at a 60,000 person margin.
Most of the Panhandle counties are outstanding.
Eighty percent of Broward County is in. We expected to be down 200,000 -- and our worst case was that we would be down 300,000. The latest information is that we are down by 170,000.
In addition, Ohio looks increasing good for us. Reports from the ground are that people are very upbeat about turnout (for example, in places like Franklin Country).
Let me make a broader, and very significant, point. The media are now changing the models they are using to estimate where things stand. The actual votes underscored how flawed the exit polling data was – and so the media are making adjustments in where things stand. What does that specifically mean: The final exit polls had us down by five to six points in Wisconsin; the estimates now are that we are even. The exit polls had us down three points in Iowa; the estimates now are that we are even. The exit polls had us down in New Mexico; the estimates now are that we are even.
The tide is turning in our direction. We aren’t ready to declare victory; but we ready to say that we feel very good about where things stand, and where things seem to be headed.
Cokie's looking either drunk, stoned, or a unique combination of both. She's listing slightly starboard.

MSNBC showed the tape of the First Family watching the returns from a room in the White House.
Looks like the gorgeous Jenna has a boyfriend there with her. Me not too happy about that. :-(
Are you kidding?
It's the panhandle's returns that come later.
Isn't that great!!! I already voted, but I was watching Fox10 news and they were showing it! I'm up in Flagstaff. ARIZONA IS BUSH COUNTRY!!! God Bless our President!!!
i agree.......adios arlen
I had the television on for about fifteen minutes, switched it off. I'm so grateful for FR. I really didn't want to be alone tonight, whatever the outcome, and with you all I don't feel alone at all!
MSNBC just showed President Bush w/his family and friends in the WH Smiling and saying, "I think I'm going to win!"
I thought you were gonna let me know!! L0L
God help me.. I just flipped to MSNBC (and Matthews) and in 5min I got more GOOD GWB news than I got from FOX all night!
So what;s going on ... is it in the bag or not ...
"heck if i know.....time for another xanax i fear...and a slice of pizza."
My kid just went to bed so I just did two multi symptom rolaida and I'm into his halloween candy.
And Peter Jennings looks like he's high. Just hilarious to watch the left crack right now. It's like they KNOW it's about to be over.
Everybody relax. The President is just letting the press watch the family watch the returns.
It's too soon for any call on Florida or Ohio. We are NOT out of the woods.
These results have to be from liberal counties only. I hope so! Bush can and will *knock on wood* win without PA if necessary.
