WTF is up with PA???
62% Kerry
38% Chimp

granted only 40% of precincts reporting, but they're calling other states with FAR FAR fewer counts.....

3. They are saying
They don't know what precincts the reports are coming from so they can't call it.

7. Maybe because...
Not all precincts in PA have closed yet. Weren't they holding one open for another hour and a half?

10. Two big counties, allegheny & Bucks, are still voting!
Lat I heard, Allegheny was staying open till 10 or 10:30. Allegheny is Pgh! Very Dem! So is Bucks which is Scranton.

Be patient. Kerry will get PA.

14. There is no call because the troglodite "T" has not been reported yet.
The "T" of course is the rural center and north of the state.

16. They were saying it is now in Buck County, polls open.
I personally think its is a case of not buying enough voting machines for the population. Since Bucks is close to the NY Metro area it has rapidly been developed with new housing. The Pocono region is in a similar situation. Lots of new people. My cousin just bought a house in Bucks and she works in Jersey.

19. Unfortunately
A lot of voters in Monroe Co. (Poconos) gave up and got out of line and left. That should never happen.

17. A friend of mine in PA told me about the long lines..
She was saying that they gave the last person in line a sticker to wear AND a constable to stand with them, the news is reporting that person who showed up exaclty at close won't get in to the building to vote until about 10.30 ~ 11.00, still 15 minutes away.. So, they just aren't allowed to call it. I am amazed at how Kerry has blown Bush away in PA.. why couldn't some PA folks take trips to Florida or next door to Ohio? They need the help right now.. PA without either FL or OH is not much of a concilation...

20. Even Faux News shows Kerry with PA win..
Showing electoral voted favoring JOHN KERRy...
However they're cautioning that polls are still allowing long voter lines to finish.

With PA Kerry Leads in electoral votes.....
