Dan Rather just reluctantly admitted the "odds" are "against" a Kerry victory.
Estrich on Fox is on drugs.
Tom Brokaw want to break rather than announce FL for Bush.
hehehe.
Once again FR is the source for all that matters. I'd love to have Ohio called before I leave. Definate toasts on the flight, eh!
To all my American FRiends, early (and very hopeful) congrats. Four more for W is a security blanket for all of us, even if most of the rest of the world is too dumb to realize it.
May G-d bless America (and many thnks to the Swift Vets!).
Rather: "Kerry needs a 65 yard field goal to win"

It's a long shot, but the start is good. We also have still have a bit of a chance in Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Iowa, and I would like us see get at least one of those.

We are winning! A few more states, and I hope that Senator Kerry is a big enough man to do the right thing and concede.
where is Al Gore tonite!
Just got home - didn't figure out we had TV tuned in to FOXnews at Wallyworld until about 9pm CT. Senate looks good, I sure hope the results for Prez are more definite this time around.
Joe Lockhart seems to be the mouthpiece for Team Kerry. He must have drawn the short straw to put a face on the campaign.
Joe Lockhart is starting to sound like Baghdad Bob.

NBC finally calls Florida for Bush... Brokaw almost in tears.. developing.

Wow! We are getting very close!
Ronboy Reagan is outlining the liberal sob story if Kerry loses - boo-hoo.
Stephanopolous is saying that without Ohio, Kerry loses because Alaska will definitely go Bush. Even if Kerry sweeps every other state, House of Rep would select Bush.
If Bush's lead in the popular vote holds ...
Given the record turnout ...
Means Bush will have the largest number of votes ever in a Presidential election ...
And if Bush's majority (>50%) in the popular vote holds ...
It will be the first time since Geo H.W. Bush's win in 1988 that a candidate has won more than 50% of the popular vote.
Not that any of this matters.
A republic, not mob rule.
