GOP predicts Ohio, Bush win Tue Nov 02 2004 23:02:04 ET
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- White House sources are telling UPI that they believe George W. Bush will win Ohio and be re-elected president of the United States.
At 10:30 p.m., Bush was told by a senior adviser that Ohio would land in the GOP column and put him over the top with at least 274 electoral votes, the sources said.
"We're very upbeat," Bush said as he watched returns in the Yellow Room at the White House with family members -- including his father, former President George H.W. Bush. "I believe I will win."
Bush's comments shortly before 10 p.m. EST reflected rising Republican hopes that Bush will win Florida and remain in contention in Ohio. Winning both those states would almost certainly return him to office.
The comments were also timed to reach voters in states where the polls had not yet closed including Hawaii, Nevada and Oregon. CNN had Bush leading with 193 electoral votes to Sen. John Kerry's 112.
Was praying for 300+ now just hoping for 270!
duplicate- please pull.
Hmm....Hasn't Bush won anything he didn't win in 2000???
it looks good lets keep the faith
Don't worry Dan cause the Prez is about to land Florida, Ohio, Wisonsin, Colorodo, and New Mexico to put him well beyond 270. He will also win the popular vote handily. But of course the lefties will still whine and say the election was rigged.
Doesn't need to!
Hmm....Hasn't Bush won anything he didn't win in 2000???Everything "called" is the same as 2000, so far.
As of a short while ago, New Mexico looks good for Bush.
Gore won it by 366 votes in 2000.
At this point MSM stalling to wee hours to keep the announcement to minimum audience.
What are the numbers in Ohio?
Is there a Web site reporting them, county by county?
Looks like Ohio is leaning Bush, so is Florida.
That's cool w/ me ... it is fun watching the MSM sweat ...
Are we looking good, Meek?
:)
How about the senate, what do you think?
The only Senate seat I'm following is the Thune-da$$hole race.
Thune ahead by 700 votes I think, last I saw.I'm ready to dump da$$hole. How 'bout chu?? :^D
YUP! I am truly saddened...NOT!
Looks like Senate has reatained its majority!
We are having a Coors beer here right now, in anticipation of a senator Coors for Colorado! If he wins, count on a Bush win in Colorado, as well!
