Get a grip. Neither OH nor FL are over by a long shot. Only 37%...
...of Cuyahoga County, OH precincts are in, and 150,000 OH provisionals will be litigated. In FL, as many as 1.6 million absentee ballots have yet to be counted, with a court battle over absentee ballot malfeasance looming there, too.

So how about we take a page from the repuke playbook and refrain from baring our jugular veins? Or have we all forgotten what that behavior cost us, the last time around?

9. I will personally crawl through your monitor and
kick your ass across the room and out the window if you say that again tonight.

That goes for EVERYONE.

Have I been hanging out with a bunch of pussies all this time? Damn!

19. Is that a serious question?
If so, the answer is that the mainstream media wish to call it for B*sh and they will do so, if there's any way possible that they can appear to have reached reasonable conclusions.

10. Do you have a link for the absentee ballots not
being counted? I sure would like to read that for myself. I know that Palm Beach County has counted their absentee ballots, although I'm not sure they're finished with them. http://www.pbcelections.org/ElectionResults/2004/General/Gen04_dtl.htm

18. I've seen a few and I posted one in the main thread.
The article stated that the absentee ballots will not be counted until Thursday. And the thousands upon thousands that went missing and weren't even mailed until Saturday will receive a deadline extension equivalent to the overseas ballot deadline.

12. FL not looking good
From Yahoo:

7141 of 7241 precincts - 99 percent

George W. Bush Rep 3,758,104 - 52 percent
John F. Kerry Dem 3,394,350 - 47 percent
Ralph Nader RP 31,491 - 0 percent

Nader doesn't appear to be a factor in FL at this point.

14. Forget about that. Think absentee ballots.
1.6 million are uncounted.
