BUSH CLOSER IN PENNSYLVANIA THAN KERRY IS IN OHIO

How fascinating that the pro-Democrat media establishment so quickly called states for Sen. John Kerry where his margin of alleged victory is smaller than President Bush's lead in Ohio.

The tally in Pennsylvania, according to pro-Kerry CNN: 2,868,674 for Kerry, 2,746,856 for Bush, an advantage of 121,818.

In Ohio: 2,794,346 for Bush, 2,658,125 for Kerry, an advantage of 136,221.

And check out New Hampshire: 340,019 for Kerry, 330,848 for Bush, a difference of only 9,171. Then there's Wisconsin, which CNN, USA Today and others claim Kerry won: 1,482,583 for Kerry, 1,468,937 for Bush, a difference of only 13,646.

I've heard about similar experiences. I'm from western PA and have only been there in suburban areas, which were fairly nice.

Pittsburgh is smaller and has it's own issues but I suspect in all, it's a much more pleasant place.

This was my thought all last night. The MSM is just so disgusting at times.

But if the number of outstanding Absentee Ballots is less then the margin of votes between Bush and Kerry, or not that much greater, then will anyone count them at all? I'd like to know how close we came to carrying Pennsylvania, but I'm afraid we'll never really know that.

I'm disappointed with the lack of winning Wisconsin, though. Had we won it, then we wouldn't have needed Ohio, and this whole thing would've been over last night. And WITH Ohio, Bush would have 296 Electoral Votes, an even more stunning Electoral victory. Ah well, I'll just have to learn to be happy with 286, assuming Ohio, New Mexico and Iowa are ever actually CALLED for Bush!
