some data has W up in NV at this time. www.worldmag.com. however, it seems it is slow to post. is there a better place to go? COME ON W, KEEP ROLLING.
It seems as if it will be a replay of 2004 -- or at least a weak attempt at it.
Kerry flip flops though and in one hour may concede.
It's looking more and more like Ohio is where the Dems are going to take their "last stand". Ohio votes with paper so unlike states with electronic voting.... they can demand and get recounts on the "chads".

Anyone have the Iowa, etc. Secretary of State urls for their numbers?
If Ohio got pulled away, we could win with NM, IA, NV and HI. If we could get MI or WI, we could also not worry about OH.
The Dems won't concede Ohio because of the provisional ballots. They claim there are 150,000 of them. One of their guys mentioned that Ohio uses the punch card ballot. Hanging chads here we go again!
Britt just said Bush's lead is growing as the count comes in. Kristol thinks Bush will concede if the popular vote holds and the 125,000 margin stays...Juan is pushing otherwise.
Keep the faith everyone. I've got to get up at 5:30 AM here in Ohio, so I'll check in before I head to work in the morning. FOUR MORE YEARS!!!!!!
