They're cutting their own throats if they pull that out at this point. If Ohio goes Bush by 100k votes, there's no point in yammering for recounts. It reeks of 'sore loser' and election by litigation.

Didn't I bitch at you in the chat about ramen... a week ago or something? You said you didn't have any.

Yep, apparently Edwards is going to make a statement soon, and the Democratic spokesperson has already made a statement to the effect that they think they are going to win Ohio.

I can't emphasize enough how bad it will be if the Dems try to run this like 2000. Litigation can only lead to massive foul ups in the political system and a huge leap in disaffection and drop in involvement. Not that I think it will stop them, but this is an incredibly bad idea.

Bush's Ohio lead is back up to 122,000 with 96% reporting.

I told myself the exact same thing. And look at me know.

Yeah, like Pablo says, it's the instant feedback. Plus being able to look up whatever I want whenever and avoid the "shut up and tell me the fucking results, already!" feeling with TV coverage.

You can get the same thing here, only interactive.

Yes, and you can flame your opponents, too.

Have a very nice day.

They suck. This time they were SOUNDLY defeated. Sorry, but that's just whining. Last time they had an argument, but with Bush winning the popular vote AND the electoral vote pretty easily, they don't have much of a case, IMO.

UCBooties · Post by **UCBooties** » 2004-11-03 02:11am

Yes, if only I could slap around those jackasses from cross-fire everytime they say somthing stupid... flaming is truly wonderful, and crossfire is an assinine show that needs to be burned.

It's the fucking purple Ohio giving them hope! *laughs insandly with sleep deprivation and distress* The purple state!

I think Jon Stewart gave them a verbal bitch slap big enough for all of us. Not that it shut them up, unfortunatly.

UCBooties · Post by **UCBooties** » 2004-11-03 02:13am

Yeah, at some point, CNN will have to concede OHIO to Bush, and they know that as soon as they do, all of their viewers will go to sleep. I feel a ratings plug...

Purple is libertarian! Badnarik's making a run!

That would make me so happy... If only we Libertariens could cost Bush the ellection, then the GOP might just start moving away from the uber-right... ::sigh:: if only

Some people on my floor have already wrote things on their door white boards like "May God have mercy on our souls" and such.

I just stuck a Post-It Note that just has "Sieg Amerika - 3 for 3" on my door.

Just in light of these dark times, I can't help but wonder what Michael Moore's thinking right now...

Half an hour more at the absolute max, then I'm just going to bed. I plan to set up my next semester courses tomorrow, and I don't want to do it half asleep. Might wind up with calc or some other math class that's uneccesary for me and well beyond my ability to pass.

Welcome the futility of having principles, my friend.

No,no, you fools. Purple is the color of the Centauri. The Centauri won Ohio! Londo Mollari for President!

Have a very nice day.

Who is number 3 right now anyway? Just wondering, since if its tie it goes to Congree with the top three canidates.

I hear moans of distress from down the hall... It's gonna be ugly in the morning.

I could go for that if administrative offices are moved to the Washington Monument and it gets officially renamed 'The Tower of Power'.

Yeah. I wonder what he'll have to say about this. Hopefully something interesting.
