IT LOOKS GOOD, BUT IS IT OVER?
With 100% of the precincts reporting, George Bush has won Ohio by 145,098 votes. That's right, 145,000 votes. The Poodle's campaign won't concede because of desperation and sour grapes, but if they think they're going to win Ohio, it ain't gonna happen.
All of this seems to hang on the so-called "provisional ballots." Many of these are ballots were cast by people that were too dense to actually show up at the right precinct to vote. Some were filled out by people who may not have the right to vote, including people who were not registered. A certain amount of those ballots will be disqualified. The estimates on the number of these ballots is 175,000. If you work on the assumption that (1) all the provisional ballots will be allowed, and (2) those ballots will fall within 5% of mirroring the Ohio vote, there is no way that Kerry can come close to erasing the 145,000 deficit. If you're a leftist, things don't look good. Ditto if you're an Islamic terrorist.
I guess that this all means that I was wrong. Not real wrong. Not embarrassingly wrong ... but wrong nonetheless. Yesterday I was predicting that The Poodle would win. Well it sure doesn't look that way right now. Something extremely odd and extraordinary would have to happen to turn things around right now.
You do know, don't you, that if the situation were reversed in Ohio ... If it was John Kerry instead of George Bush leading by 145,098 votes, Kerry and his media myrmidons would be declaring a complete Kerry victory and demanding Bush concede. Last night The Poodle sent out The Breck Girl to announce that every vote would be counted. Well, every vote has been counted, and Ohio goes to Bush.
Kerry has a chance to show a bit of class here. His advisors are telling him that the game is over. He should concede and allow the process to go forward.

Hey dems, the yellow bus leaves today at Noon, be on it.
Another smooth talking pretty boy that won't be around to gain the votes of feminazis and girly men.
You will know it is over when you hear a lot of ambulance sirens called for overdoses...
By Gosh, I think you have it. But, I read somewhere that Kerry is expected to concede by 1300 hrs, but I just don't trust a man who has no character to do something that would require some..I hope that this ends today.
If the Scumocrats put the country through more lawsuits and stalling nonsense they will be met with an even harder backlash in 2006. It's over for them, but the crybabies won't die.
Neal was wrong then, he was wrong for calling the election for Kerry, long before November 2nd, and he's still wrong...about the American people.
Judging by the Ohio Secretary of State's speech I just saw a few minutes ago, I'd say this baby's over.
I'm not holding my breath. The Breck Girl surely wants some litigation.
It's not over until John Edward's wife sings.
Aren't the military ballots part of the provisional ballot mix (or maybe just the military ballots coming in over the next 10 days). I thought I heard that somewhere, but I'm wondering if someone knows for sure.
Tony Snow is reporting there are only 135,000 provisional ballots in Ohio....let's see, 145,000-135,000=W
what's the hold up you snotty liberal elitist?
Details?
LOL!!!!!!!!
How? Here's the only thing I can find that he said about the American people in this piece:
Many of these are ballots were cast by people that were too dense to actually show up at the right precinct to vote. Some were filled out by people who may not have the right to vote, including people who were not registered.Surely you have no argument with that.
Not to offend any of the Lawyers here, but do you all think that 2 lawyers are going to go down without litigation??
My guess is that they are going to drag this through the courts at our expense.
The CBS radio news is trumpeting the loss of Coors in Colorado, but they aren't trumpeting the win of Thune in South Dakota (Sorry about Coors - but about Daschle - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
