[KharmaTrain]

Expect a statement in the next 30 minutes

1. I expect a civil war in the next 12 hours.

[DIKB]

3. Don't

get me excited for no reason.

Nothing would make me happier.

4. Not too far off the mark - this election has been stolen

It appears the election has been stolen.

5. He's Got The Popular Vote & Media

This isn't defeatist, this is realist.

Yes, all the votes should count but there's a lot of other states where things weren't so close and a divide that just got massively bigger.

Honestly, I'm worn out of 6 months of almost non-stop work...two of my candidates won tonight...but I feel so damn empty.

6. we don't know

that he has the popular vote. we have no way to recount many of these votes...

[KharmaTrain]

12. I Don't Think You Can Recount 3,000,000 votes

500,000 was a tough nut in 2000.

You're not going to find that many votes in Ohio, Florida and any other "Red" state.

8. No. Gore was behind at this point in the popular vote. The Dem votes

have not been counted yet. Sen. Kerry will pull ahead in the popular vote as they are counted.

[KharmaTrain]

13. Gore Was Ahead By Now

Sorry to play wet dish rag...I remember 2000 almost moment by moment.

Gore took the lead in the popular vote around midnight eastern...when the final west coast states closed.

This is a whole different animal and sadly we have far less bullets to play with here...even if there's fraud.

If the shoe were on the other foot, how would people here react? In fact, it wasn't even 12 hours ago people were ridiculing Drudge for putting out his siren about vote fraud.

[Endangered Specie]

10. Dont fucking tempt me.

[Birthmark]

2. Ah, yes. The Baghdad Bob technique.

Most impressive.

[WI_DEM]

7. how can he do that without having 270 electoral votes?

[chicagojoe]

9. He's a moron, that's how.

[VolcanoJen]

11. NBC has him at 269 and seems poised to give him NM or NV

Either would put him over the top. NBC seems to be in collusion.

[LiberalPersona]

14. John Titor may be have been right

Civil war is imminent.
Look how much of the government they control now. I don't expect the left to sit down and take the increasingly fascist direction we're going in America much longer.

[neomonkey]

15. He's getting testy!

George W. Bush, you can go to hell (and I don't even believe in hell).

I think you are scum of the earth. You are NOT my leader any longer.
