Get enough of Bush's electors to go to Kerry to bring Bush down to 269, or better yet McCain. That gives it to Kerry in the first instance, or sends it to the House in the second, where the Democrats would be forced to join with Republican moderates to put McCain in rather than Kerry, who cannot win in the House.

May I please have some of the obviously fine product you are smoking?

We're looking at an honest-to-god cultural revolution, that is 3/4 of a century worth of backlash at progressive movements and secularzation. America just might become a very bad place to be.

That is my greatest fear, that today's victory for social regression, evangelical Christianity and base stupidity will engulf our entire nation.

Still...

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't...be afraid...of the dark!
At the end of a storm,
Is a golden sky,
And a sweet...silver song...of a lark!

And what's this about McCain?

It's been pretty clear for at least two hours that Ohio most likely won't be going to Kerry.

A writer can hope, can he not?

All right, CNN can pull this out as long as they want. I for one am going to grab a couple hours of sleep to prepare for a very ugly day.

Democratic Undergound is having lots of fun right now.

Have a very nice day.

I'm going to turn in for the night now. Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure.

And do try and keep your flames in the HOS Venting thread if at all possible.

Okay, this is whack. Did CNN just freeze their results or something because of God damn Ohio?

See the world has it is, rather than for what you like it to be. You'll never be comfortable but you will be rarely be surprised.

Much of what I believe in has been rejected. The New Testament might has be ripped out now.

Check the county tallies for NV, they're grimly telling.

Nevada has been called for Bush via C-span.org.

We do have some comedy, though. Over at Rapture Ready someone is worried that, with the Republican victory, America will be left leaderless when the Rapture comes.

Grim from which perspective?

then we're done here. I will see you all in a couple of hours when the Democratic blitzkrieg begins. As always, it has been a pleasure, goodnight.

Yes! And if Bush and Cheney spontaniously turn into a flowerpot and a sperm whale and God rains 10000000 Democratic votes down on Ohio, then... Bush'll still win.

I'm with you on that one, Joe. Let us simply sleep on it and then hope for the best tomorrow.

Iowa's at 99% with Bush at a 23K lead.

Post by **fgalkin** » 2004-11-03 03:18am

Ok, Bush is clearly winninf New Mexico and Nevada, so I'm giving them to him.

Also, this will be the last thing I'll to before going to bed. Goodnight, y'all.

Have a very nice day.

I got to go and write some e-mail concessions/congrates. Damn.

G'night, guys.

Bush is clearly the winner in Nevada and New Mexico. He also seems to have escaped Iowa with a slim victory, so once everyone gets everything with Ohio straightened out it'll actually be a pretty decisive victory for Bush.

See you later.

Oh, and the fundies at rr-bb are wanking so much, the world will soon be devoid of kittens. Some of them even think Bush's re-election is a sign of the coming Rapture.

Have a very nice day.
