I was just at www.msnbc.com and they had the following numbers on there site:

Bush 61%
Kerry 38%
Nader 1%

The percent is percentage of votes. I then refreshed and they went back to zero. Wierd.

I’m too scared to be optimistic. :frowning:
Tell me when its over.

closes eyes, puts fingers in ears, sings lalalalalalalalalala

ABC is already posting all kinds of “scenarios”. Every one they have chosen to display shows Bush winning. Of course they have Bush winning OH, PA and FL. How can these A-holes get away with shit like this? There ought to be a law …

I do so miss Canadian elections. IIRC, exit polls are illegal at home.

I hope it’s settled before I need to go to bed. The latest Im seeing is as of 8:19 Eastern Time showing:




Candidate   States  Electoral Votes   Popular Vote

Bush          7          66                56%

Kerry         9          77                43%

Electoral votess, of course, determine the outcome.

As of 8:19 Eastern Time Yahoo is showing:




Candidate   States  Electoral Votes   Popular Vote

Bush          10        102                55%

Kerry          9         77                44%

With 5% of precincts reporting, I’d guess we’ve got at least four or five hours to go before any outcome looks firm.

As of 8:57 Eastern Time Yahoo is showing:




Candidate   States  Electoral Votes   Popular Vote

Bush          11        136                55%

Kerry         10        108                44%

Tight race, so far. But I’ll note that one of AOL’s polls (Internet voluntary poll, so probably amongst the least reliable) has 81% of respondents indicating they’d made up their minds months ago, well before gazillions of bucks were spent on the 3-4% who decided in the last week.

Looks like Bush is ahead in land mass, but Kerry leads in property value.

:smiley:

As of 9:12 Eastern Time Yahoo is showing:




Candidate   States  Electoral Votes   Popular Vote

Bush          16        153                54%

Kerry         11        112                46%
12

I suspect trying to glean some overall meaning from early reports will be fruitless. With Ohio reporting 7% of precincts so far, Bush and Kerry have swapped significant appearing leads a few times already.

13

Do you think Florida might be one of the last states called?

14

As of 9:27 Eastern Time Yahoo is showing:




Candidate   States  Electoral Votes   Popular Vote

Bush          18        169                53%

Kerry         11        112                46%
15

Everything seems to revolve around OH, PA and FL. I would think they will be VERY careful calling a winner in any of those states (because of the last election debacle in FL).

16

I’ve noticed that Bush seemed to be maintaining a ~1.5 million popular vote lead ahead of Kerry, but for right now that has jumped to ~2 million.

We still haven’t seen anything from the Western states.

17

Anybody know what the Common Wisdom on California is? That’s 55 electoral votes - that and Ohio would put Kerry in a good position.

18

California will go to Kerry hands down.

19

As of 10:05 Eastern Time Yahoo is showing:




Candidate   States  Electoral Votes   Popular Vote

Bush          20        178                52%

Kerry         11        112                47%

That is with 27% of precincts reporting. Still way too early to call, IMHO.

20

As of 10:05 Eastern Time Yahoo is showing:




Candidate   States  Electoral Votes   Popular Vote

Bush          21        184                52%

Kerry         11        112                47%

I don’t get why Yahoo is showing that as a 10:05 report when thay already had one for that time.
