It appears that Bush will take New Mexico as well; he's holding a very comfortable lead with 80 percent of the precincts reporting.

If Bush holds onto Ohio - which it looks like he will - he has won the election.

I'm tired, angry and going to bed. I want to wake up to the final result. I'm sick and tired of waiting for Ohio to be finalized.

Good for you, Stravo. I myself am supposed to do a report on a political forum that will be discussing the result of tonight, and feel obligated to watch my hopes for a sane man in the Oval Office soon die.

So, any predictions on whether states might swing other ways with the factoring in of absentee/early votes?

Ohio is supposed to have 1,000,000 votes left to count (absentee?). How can anyone possibly call it?

Iowa is countin all absentee ballots tonight I believe according to the Secretary of State, Ohio is suppose to have them all counted by morning, but I highly doubt anything changes.
