Time to face facts...

[redsoxliberal]

Florida is going for Bush...
They are 85% done counting, and we are down 275,000.

Ohio, on the other hand, looks pretty good. Cuyahoga is just beginning to report, and we are 100,000 votes down... As it stands now, Kerry will pick up almost 200,000 votes if the current trends continue.

We will win PA... and if we can pull out Ohio, then we definitely are still in this thing.

1. Eartly Votes

[PermanentRevolution]

5. Can ANYONE confirm if early voting is tallied or not?

I can't find this ANYWHERE, but I thought early votes are tallied LAST. My friend thinks this is right also, but we can't find confirmation.

[leyton]

16. They said on CBS that they are not going to be tallied by tonight.

90k in Broward, probably counted by tomorrow or Thursday.

2. We are getting hoodwinked

[Lorien]

3. I heard that early voting hasen't been counted in FL

anyone hear differently?

[saccheradi]

6. nope.... thats a fact.

don't call Florida yet folks. It was the same in 2000.

[Mom4Kerry]

8. No, Early votes in FL haven't been counted yet

eom

[Grillymom]

13. What about the absentee ballots

that weren't even mailed out until a few days ago in Florida. That'll have an impact won't it. I thought it was around 100,000 ballots or so.

[Princess Turandot]

14. CBS reported that Miami - Dade alone has 100,000 absentee ballots..

to count, and doesn't expect to have finished them until "tomorrow".

[ASanders84]

4. God, I'm getting depressed

[My Pet Goat]

7. 85% of what?

Let me guess, precincts. So do you think the most populous precincts have miraculously reported their vote counts before the less populous, rural precincts.

[bluestateguy]

9. I don' t care for defeatism

Pull it.

[speedoo]

10. Yes, I see Kerry winning Ohio.

Cleveland will put him over the top.

Florida is likely gone, probably because shrub won a lot more Jewish votes this time around.

Of course we have PA in the bag, so it will come down to the Midwest and Joe Lockhart is saying Kerry will hold the midwest states.

Ohio is the key state, it gives Kerry a margin for error.

[marlakay]

11. be patient a big county in florida that brings in over

200,000 hasn't been counted yet and we can just hope in the north.

[democrat_patriot]

23. What county is left with 200,000??

[pa28]

12. I'm looking for a link on the early vote status.

So far I have none. Does anybody know when they will be counted?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

15. Hey, sparky....did you give up on the Red Sox? What's the problem?....

One more time for the easily stampeded...the EARLY VOTE HAS NOT YET BEEN COUNTED AND WILL NOT BE COUNTED UNTIL AFTER EVERYTHING ELSE IS COUNTED!!!! THE ABSENTEE VOTE IS BEING TREATED THE EXACT SAME WAY!!!

Get a freakin' grip, will ya!!

[Generator]

17. Hey media lies I love you!

Is that a fact about the early votes? I can't get a straight answer on that one. I knew it was about the absentee.

[Diana52]

18. Thank you!

You took the words right out of my post, er mouth!

Good Grief, people, CHILL!

[nytemare]

26. Thank you!! Do you happen to have a link?

Or did you hear that on tv?

Thanks for the info. :)

[mistertrickster]

19. I agree I think Florida is gone over to the dark side. Why are you

optimistic about Ohio? Bush is up by five percentage points. Also, Michigan is NOT coming in very good.

I don't like the fact that ALL the flipping exit polls seem to be way off . . .

Tell me how we're gonna win Ohio. Please!

[Almost_there]

20. OK.. we're going to win in Ohio.

There, I said it. Does it mean dilly? No, but, nothing has been certified, verified, spindled and mutilated yet. Don't count your hatches before they are two in the bush.

21. Exit polls show a clear Kerry win

[mistertrickster]

22. I know--I'm not buying this. Flipping Ohio is showing Bush up by

FIVE and the exit poll showed Kerry by FOUR. That's a net swing of NINE. That isn't possible without somebody fucking up big time--either the pollsters or the black box voting. Something is very wrong.

And you folks who keep saying, "all the votes haven't been counted yet." Hey, take a statistics class. When you've got 44 percent of precincts counted and your guy is down by five, you're toast.

The only thing that could possibly pull out Ohio is if big Dem areas for some reason haven't reported yet. But it sounds like Cleveland is already in.

I wanna believe but this is turning around on us, and it's not pretty.

[daveskilt]

24. they wont count the absentee ballots until thursday

and there are more than double the 275000 we are down requested from brower, dade, and west palm beach alone. florida isnt in the bag for anyone till thursday night at the earliest

[Catt03]

25. There were 0ver 2 million early votes in Florida

with the 1.6 million absentee ballots
