  • They called OH for Bush and they don't want to call Bush the winner.

        • Wisconsin is going to get really close. Kerry leads 19k (<½%), 89% votes counted. I checked out the precincts invididually, and got a 20k advantage to Bush (Kerry stronghold votes already counted).

            I'm wondering why they aren't counting them starting tomorrow?

            Maybe verifying legitimacy?

            What I can say is that for a modern democracy to not be able to determine a winner by the end of the night is... a little bit strange.

            Is the right of one person to vote, who couldn't be bothered to register properly and show up at the right station, important enough to hold up the government of your nation of 300,000,000 for 2 weeks?

                You can say that again.

                • Kerry shouldn't push it. All candidates except Gore have conceded with much closer races. See Nixon.
                  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, 1891

                  • Given the popular vote George W. Bush should continue to be President, however if we followed the popular vote Al Gore would be the incumbent, so...

                      Let's hope they recycle the cabinet a little bit, though. I think Keyes needs a seat of some kind, hopefully big-level.

                          That sounds like dragging it out to me.
                          Yes, but its the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio who's asking people to wait eleven days before he can give an exact count not Kerry.

                                They'd have a little more meaning if studies didn't show that Bush supporters didn't have their facts straight on Iraq, Al Qaeda, and other issues. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with the election if by and large people had understood the issues, but this simply isn't the case.

                                Jefferson was right, lack of education is the largest problem a democracy faces.


                                Anyhow, I was a bit shocked when I heard on the news that the Republicans are excited about being able to pass even more tax cuts and drill in the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve now that they control even more of the House and Senate.

                                Whoever thought the debt was going to be addressed by Bush going to be eating their words.
