Fox just gave Ohio to Bush…he’s 4 EV’s from victory. Its pretty much over at this point…if New Mexico, Alaska (tie) or Nevada goes Bush he wins. -XT ---

Y’all might like [this link](http://www.ianchadwick.com/tequila/index.html) if you enjoy tequila. Tequila is restricted to Mexico…nobody else in the world can make it IIRC I can’t quote the laws but if it don’t say _hecho in mexico_ it ain’t tequila. also the use of agave has a history dating back to like 7000BCE :eek: ---

As Ohio looks better and better for Bush, the 269 - 269 scenario looks like a real possibility. (Giving AK to Bush and the last Maine vote to Kerry). To rule out the faithless elector factor, Bush would need to pick up one more state. Kerry looks good everywhere else, except NM. NM would ensure it for Bush. ---

I must say, I am a little disappointed. Up until the election, I had seen quite a significant outcry against Bush getting re-elected. I had thought that with all the screw-ups that happened over the past four years many former Bush voters would wake up and think “What the hell was I thinking?” There seemed to be a lot of apathy against voting for Kerry- as in people were less interested in Kerry and just more irate at Bush…maybe that doesn’t make much sense, but my brain is pretty fried from a rather busy day. For the record, I _did_ vote, and had hoped Kerry would get elected if just to see how he can handle things (I figure he would really have to work hard to screw things up _worse_ than Bush) (This message coming from a rather politically apathetic College Student) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nov-04-election-comments-thread/272563.md?page=27) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nov-04-election-comments-thread/272563.md?page=29)
