Is that big or small?
Quite a bit bigger than anyone was expecting, I should think.

Agreed. Also, New Hampshire by going to Kerry becomes the first state to switch party lines voting in this election. AMAZING.

If that trend continues, Iowa will be the second.

Unless he's planning to vote for Kerry, it doesn't matter. John Kerry MUST get 270+ to win. If both candidates have less than 270, it goes to the House and Bush wins. Even if it was Kerry 269, Nader 269, Bush 0, Bush would still win. (Based on my admintidly limited understanding).

Bush would need at least 1 electoral vote to go to the House in the event of a draw.

He already has 269 if you count Ohio

You know, when this is all over you're going to be a rather enormous target. Hope you have some pretty bullet-proof reasoning.

I was just try to let CelesKnight know that his understanding is slightly off.

I'd take his advice, Yar. I mean, I'm a full-blown fascist, but I keep my mouth shut...

Hey... if everyone else is unhappy, I'm just merely saying I am going to be happy. What's the problem?

You're being just a tad bit smug about it. And smug bugs people.

Bush is looking good in New Mexico.

Well, that's ok, since we all know you're a idiot anyway.

Bush seems to have taken the election. The Republicans also cleaned up Congress. The Democrats are in for a long four years.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2004-11-03 01:34am

Er, Spanky, that was out of line. Sorry.

Wow, great job. I disagree with you but I don't call you an idiot. Shows how bitter we really are tonight apparently.

Kerry grabs Washington state.

We're talking about the hypothetical scenario posed by CelesKnight, you fucking shitbird.

Is Washington really worth only one EV?

I was under the impression that the House could vote for anyone they wanted, but you're probably right about needing at least one electoral vote. That would make sense.

Thanks, guys.

Everyone's emotions are running high today, so please follow Spanky and Hemlock's examples and remember to try not to take things out on other board members.

Impossible. Everything is worth at least 3.
