92% of Ohio counted. Kerry needs 58% of remaining votes to win
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 01:40 AM by Bucky
I'm about to run with the rats on this one folks. Even with the remaining precincts and the provisional ballots combined, I don't see how Kerry's gonna overcome 100,000 deficit.

Oh, and if you're thinking of running off to Canada--fuck you for being a sore loser. In a democracy you lose some. We drink, we plan, we live to fight again. This administration is too big a fuck up to turn us into a fugue dictatorship. We will win again. The monkey, like Toby Keith, needed a war to sell a record. It's time to dig in and start throwing some rotten tomatoes.

(edited to rejigger the numbers)

6. Kerry believes he will have enought votes in the provisional ballots
these need to be counted. He is not conceding and rove is using his 2000 tactic of victory speaches etc. That will backfire.

8. I hear you
I'm depressed, angry, and ashamed to be an American tonight. But am I giving up? Fuck no! If our will is too weak to take a defeat here and there, then we don't deserve to win. I'm going to fight these fuckers with every breath that I have. Hey, wake up everybody! We're still alive. We're still breathing. As long as we draw breath we can fight. We've lost tonight, but we're still here! And we're not going anywhere! George Bush, I vow to do everything I can to make the next four years the most difficult of your life. Who's with me?

9. I'll feel bad when they come and take you away
Maybe because I'm older, and its late, but I think the dancehall is closing, and the big sign saying AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE, is going out. Imagine what the rest of the world must be thinking...

13. spread now only 96,000 in Ohio
Provisional ballots now an issue. This guy on CNN says they won't be counted for eleven more days. That's the law in Ohio.
