Which is why I'm for going to sleep. Like... for a week. Or for three months. So I can wake up in next year with a guaranteed president and then decide whether or not to slit my wrists.

Good ol' CBS isn't calling the election yet (aka assigning Ohio to Bush).
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

Minnesota and (most likely) Michigan are now in the Kerry column.

Of the remaining states, we've got:
Wisconsin - Kerry by 28,000
New Hampshire - Kerry by 10,000
Nevada - Kerry by 1,500
Iowa - Bush by 1,400
New Mexico - Bush by 18,000
Ohio - Bush by 116,000

If Bush wins Ohio and loses everything else, we would have a tie. 8)

Apparently more absentee ballots went out to Repubs than Dems. The general consensus is that the Repubs have the advantage on absentee voting.

Neither is CNN. But I'm doing it anyway, at least for now.

What about that West Virginian mayor who said he won't cast his electoral vote for Bush?

CBS says Ohio has this massive number of provincal ballots that they don't count until ten days after the election. What's with that? :x

Read Rogue 9's thread. If it's a tie, it'll likely become a crazy free for all.

Well, at least I can't say that my vote doesn't mean anything. I wonder if all the absentees have been counted yet? And great job Columbus, my hometown, that is about the biggest possible clusterfuck possible when it comes to voting. I hope that's some good pizza you're bringing those poor fucks standing in line.

CNN is holding out Ohio to the last, despite Bush being up 130,000.

What do Russians, in general- in your expirence, think of the election?

Quite a bit bigger than anyone was expecting, I should think.
