Any analysis of why McCain is down 200K votes. Tell me we have a chance.
Someone says that CNN (I know gasp) has moved FL into Obama’s column. Have they actually called FL?
All the networks called Florida at 8:00 EST, because Gore was up by about 10%. I told My Favorite Liberal at the time that Florida would be close, but Bush would win. She said I was crazy.
Remember, that is why so many people said Florida was stolen. They were convinced that Gore won it big, but that the Republican snatched it away with some kind of fraud.
And in 2004, Kerry had an early lead in Florida, but Bush wound up overtaking him, as well. This time, the networks were familiar with the pattern, so they didn't call it early.
“Whew, I forgot FLA is in two time zones.......
I can’t even eat.... arrrrgghh!
I’m so glad you guys seem to be perpetual optomists......
We need that.”
Yeah, AT EASE combat. The midsection of FL, JAX and the Panhandle are heavy with Republicans. Exit polls are notoriously WRONG, and just take a deep breath, stay frosty and keep your powder dry. It’s going to be OKAY.

Rember past elections, the western part of FLA is in a later time zone.
I'd say 'relax' but here I sit at the computer, Fox news on the TV, loud enough to hear here, the boy is looking at some web sites tracking the stuff.....yea, I'm relaxed....
Polls just closed there. Do not be disheartened.
I listened to the local news channel out of Orlando and they said the report so far is from early voting and absentee ballots. Rove was just on Fox and said Obama is doing well in the big Orange County, (central Florida) but McCain is doing well in smaller rural counties and Hillsborough. He is either hitting his goal or exceeding it, Rove said. Some precincts had 200 people still in line to vote!!! The Sec. of State is to have a news conference soon on any voter problems.
Sorry, ‘the loss’. My fingers have a mind of their own, I guess.
It will be in the loo though with an Obama Administration. Or the crapper, the head, the sh*tter, or what ever other euphemism anyone cares to use.
Spell check? Who needs it......
It’s+all+good.++Early+voting,+remember%3F
Down with 0% reporting? error? Media is a little anxious I think,
There’s a good way to calm yourself down: a drinking game.
Every time MSNBC calls a state for Obama before the returns have come in, take a shot of hard liquor. We’re talking Everclear. You should have had four or five shots of the stuff by now if you’re following the rules. :)
so the only tallies we saw on the interactive map before 8pm in FLa were early or absentee??
Indiana is scaring the hell out of me. Why is Governor Mitch Daniels up by 21 and McCain is only up by 3. That doesn’t make a bit of sense to me.
Well Dole shot herself inthe foot with the Godless commericial
Forget about the mainstream analysis. If you can wrap your head around anything it should be this: Mankind is tribal. In a system of one man one vote those tribes having the most bodies wins. Here in Broward the ballots are printed in three languages including creole (Haitian) and spanish.
Please elaborate, I am not familiar with the commercial. Thanks
