I may have an infarction before this is over with and I gotta get to the tv so I want to say thanks to all you good people here; reading this forum has kept me (somewhat) sane for the past few years & especially tonight. Sincere thanks. ~madbull

Where is the site that has all the stats for each state as they come in? My husband is getting aggravated watching the TV. I'm on FR and tuning out the TV.

Candidate	Electoral	States Won	Vote %	Votes
Bush	195	22	51%	27,988,277
Kerry	112	11	48%	26,203,150

We are winning! And it looks like our electoral vote count is about to get a real boost with Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado should all be called soon!

Good news Bush two to one continues in rural Nevada.

Bad news it's the other way in Vegas.

Any chance we can get this moved to the top of the Breaking News sidebar? maybe people would see it and not post duplicate threads?

It's amazing. The polls just closed in California and the MSM put it into the Kerry column immediately. Meanwhile, in several smaller states where Bush has had a sizable lead for over an hour, they still have them as undecided.

Candidate	Electoral	States Won	Vote %	Votes
Bush	209	24	51%	32,835,752
Kerry	199	14	48%	31,013,113

We are winning! Still waiting on Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and New Mexico to be called for us, and it appears that we should get Wisconsin also.

Kerry would need approximately 75% of the remaining Florida votes to win the state. Florida = Bush.

What on earth is taking New Freaking Hampshire so long?

Polls closed for 4.5 hours, yet only 60-plus percent of the vote counted.

WTF???

[magellan]

95% of the precincts in, Bush 52, Kerry 47%.

Kerry is toast.

Fox just called Nevada for Bush

There is nothing wrong with being optimistic, but the data coming in is not favorable to W. Forget Florida -- Bush might win it, but Florida is not the swing state this time around. As I've pointed out in discussions here before (contrary to the opinions of many here who disagreed), this race comes down to who wins Ohio. The winner of Ohio wins the whole thing.

I pointed out here a few days ago that private polls taken in Ohio were showing Kerry would win Ohio. That's exactly what we are seeing. Kerry will win Ohio. At this moment, only 10 percent of Cuyahoga County (Cleveland)--Kerry leads 60 to 39 percent there so far. Only 60 percent of Lorain County has reported so far -- 53 to 46 percent Kerry leads. In Lucas County, only 6 percent has reported, and Kerry leads there 71 to 29 percent. In Summit COunty, only 11 percent has reported, and Kerry leads there 59 to 41 percent. In Trumbull County, only 67 percent has reported, and Kerry leads 62 to 38 percent.
Even more troublesome, in conservative Franklin County, Kerry and Bush are tied, and in Montgomery County, Kerry leads 51 to 48 percent. Not good for Bush.
There are still polling places open in Ohio, and they won't close until probably midnight. These are primarily in Democratic-controlled areas.
All of the above is exactly consistent with the private polling data I've mentioned here.
Ohio will go to Kerry, as will Pennsylvania. That pretty much seals the overall election.
