Hmm, something like 1300 GMT to 0400 GMT, with informal exit polls done constantly, and the reports on the counting coming in constantly as the night goes on.Originally posted by axi

It might not be known who one until 24 hours or more after the voting has started. It depends on how it goes.

Something to consider when determining who will win the election is the weather
Bad weather tends to favor the Republicans and good weather favors democrats. Mainly because democrats are poorer and usually on foot and get discouraged by bad weather easiler. Also Zogby just did a poll or cell phone users and found Kerry leads Bush by 15%
Also, it looks like Bush may not the support from evangicals that he was expecting.
With that and the tendency of undecided voters going to Kerry a little more then Bush, I'd say Kerry's going to win this election. It's still is going to be a very close election though.ku eshte shpata eshte feja

Conflicted evangelicals.
It's amazing what people can convince themselves of.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

If the Washington Redskins loose their last match before the election, the incumbent is always defeated. Vice-versa as well.Originally posted by GePap

Also, the Candidate with the biggest hair tends to win, although that's not as scientific as the Redskins one, as hair size is subjective.Res ipsa loquiturComment

The candidate leading on Labour Day will win the election. Bush was leading this year. He led slightly on Labour Day in 2000 iirc.Res ipsa loquiturComment

Write in Vince 278, the Apolyton candidate."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

Kerry seems to have the momentum going into the vote - if Bush was safe Kerry should be deadmeat by now.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment
