Election hinges on Ohio
I’m pretty sure Ohio has gone to Bush despite the news sites refusing to call it. Bush is up by over 130,000 votes. Very depressing. The Democrats insist on waiting for the absentee/provisional ballots (of which there are 175k to 250k), but even with the most generous figures, if there are 250k absentee ballots, people will have to vote 76% Kerry in those in order for him to level the votes. If there are 175k ballots, Kerry will need to poll 87%. That is pretty much unobtainable.
Sounds like Australia: “With the Republicans also tightening their hold on the Senate, keeping control of the House of Representatives and the possibility of more changes in the supreme court, a second Bush term would see the Republicans controlling all four key levers of government. Mr Bush can therefore claim with some foundation that he now possesses the clear mandate that eluded him four years ago.”
Sarni has had good coverage of the figures throughout the day.
It’s over. It’s all over. And for what? For nothing. Bush is still POTUSA, now with what he considers, ‘clear mandate,’ and Kerry basically threw the election. Had he actually waited things out, didn’t have to lawsuit it to death, just wait, I would’ve respected it. I don’t think he would’ve won necessarily, but it is my opinion that there may have been a glint of hope of not having a Republican-controlled government. Welcome, folks, to the Republican States Of America. The least we could’ve done was elect a real conservative, instead of this megalomaniacal totalitarian.
I think I’ll move to Sweden.
Good have won the day!!! Way to go Right Wing Conservative USA! The world is a much more entertaining place :)

This silly box keeps cutting out my sentences. Censorship.
What is wrong with you? Go get a green card and do a Murdoch…
Murdoch? (Showing my naivete,eh?)
Yep, as in Fox News magnate and former Australian, before he renounced his citizenship in order to get closer to capitalism. (Hey, can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing!)
