[Husker24]

Im sure they have someone searching the cemetaries for names as we speak.

[rintense]

She sounded like she had been crying. But I do agree with you...

[CARTOUCHE]

Yeah, I see that. The machine must have just finished manufacturing the ballots. I still think from looking at all that has already happened nationwide that she'll go down like the other bowling pins.

With roughly 90% of the precincts in (3950 out of 4450), Talents lead down to 25,000 votes out of 1,700,000. 50.0% to 48.5%. This aint over unfortunately.

Hate like heck to say it, but I believe St. Louis will once again manufacture votes to beat the true winner, Jim
Talent. Hard to believe.

Quote of the day from DU:

Nov-06-02, 00:22 AM (ET)

I've had it with this country. I'm just sick about the happenings of tonight. This country has been hijacked, and largely because of the corporate media, the public at large has been brainwashed into voting repug. Well, of course they will, because if your only source of news is network or cable, then it's only a matter of time before you start believing the lies. Oh, but we can't do a damn thing about it, because we've got to continue to "diversify the liberal media" with more conservative pundits. The fact that Rush Limbaugh was on NBC tonight should signal what's happening to the country. The Republicans are in total control now. How soon until liberals are arrested for their beliefs, or even better, shot in the streets?

I was so hopeful about tonight. We had this one in the bag. What the hell went wrong? Sure, the votes may have been rigged, but I don't have that much faith in the American people anymore.

You don't think Bush will be re-elected two years from now? Of course he will. We're becoming Nazi Germany, and all hope I had is now gone.

I'm STILL optimistic...

[CARTOUCHE]

93% of precincts reporting Talent ahead by 16,000 votes. I wonder if the absentees have been counted as yet?

[lepton]

Carnahan is rapidly closing. Dem precincts come in late in Mo. I hope he can hold one, but it's quite questionable.

[freedomcrusader]

Precincts Reporting 4173 of 4425 (94.3%)

Carnahan, Jean DEM 860,589 48.6%

Talent, Jim REP 882,384 49.9%

[Guillermo]

Carnahan, Jean DEM 860,589 48.6%
Talent, Jim REP 882,384 49.9%

Could be trending towards the Widder.

Hopefully some heavy GOP precincts have yet to report...

[BOBWADE]

Very ugly. I told my wife earlier that we needed about 100,00 vote lead to stave off the pending election fraud. looks like the new provisional ballots will factor into this and cause a delay in certification of Talent if he pulls off a victory.

My biggest fear is how the dead will vote there...

Carnahan 200,261 51%

Carnahan 49,181 76%
Talent 14,187 22%

Interesting that St. Louis (County) jumped from 5,000+ lead for Talent to 15,000+ lead for Carnahan rather shortly (and went from 24% to 100% reporting).
