Anything above 1%. The Libs typically get about .5%.
BTW, C-SPAN has a really cool interactive map as well.
…And David Gergen on CNN just agreed with me.
What the heck’s going on in PA? It keeps skewing further towards Kerry, yet the leadup polls and the exit polls all showed a tight race.
I voted in highly contested Columbus, Ohio, today. I’ll throw in my comment.
I waited 3 hours to vote, I was one of about 4 caucasians among a line of hundreds of black voters at my precinct. It was reassuring that the general attittude seemed to be pro-Kerry.
However, once we got to the Franklin County sample ballot, the lady behind me pointed to Issue 1, which in Ohio bars the state from recognizing any gay unions in any way. She went, “This is where we vote on that same sex marriage.”
The guy in front of me goes, “Oh hell no. If God wanted them to be together he’d a gave em both ding-a-lings and crotches. But he didnt, so it aint right”.
She responded with a satifisfied "mmmmm-hmmmm, it’s an a-bom-i-na-tion.
So me, a minority gay guy in between these two vociferous anti-gays, leaves me sweating bullets and trying to maintain my composure. But, I just saved my voice for inside the voting booth.
Strange that the exit polls are so out whack in Forida…a state that’s using Diebold.
It depresses me to say it, but the Pubs are clearly cheating in Florida again.
Blanking blanking blank blank blank.
It’s taking me 20+ minutes to edit a single post.
I’m tearing my fingernails apart.
Please, god, please.
Blank. I’ll stop eating pork, if that’s what you want. Blanking blank.
John Mace: If you drill in to CNN’s map to the state level, you can see the vote totals for Badnarik. He’s tracking under 1% pretty much everwhere. But Nader isn’t doing much better. Whoever wins this year, they won’t have 3rd parties to blame. Looks to me like Nader is pretty much a non-factor.
Ohio (11% reporting) Bush up 5%.
FL (56% reporting) Bush up 7%
I expect both of those to start closing, though.
I don’t know. I don’t like that Miami/Dade is such a light blue. I’ve watched faintly-colored counties flip when more precincts reported in enough times tonight to be nervous…
How are they out of whack? Do they differ–on a precint basis–with the official results? If so, got a cite?
Forget pork. Volunteer to give your time and money to the poor and marginalized. I think that, if God chooses to get involved in this election (which it won’t), that will be a far more effective promise. 
Get real.
It should take more info than what’s available to reach this conclusion.
Looks to me more and more FL will go to Bush. 
OH and PA are now critical for Kerry.
Not looking good for Kerry in FL. With 65% of the vote in, Bush is still holding a 6% lead. Kerry has to make up about 300,000 votes with 2 million votes left to count. That’s a pretty big mountain to climb.
:rolleyes: And thats the ONLY explaination that could be correct of course.

Local TV is making things look real good for Kerry in MN.
Got it, thanks. I had been using the YAHOO page because I was too lazy to download the macromedia upgrade file needed by CNN, but I just took care of it.
There are discussions about the discrepancy between the exit polls and the results on the corner.

I’m suspicious of Diebold, but it is too early to start drawing conclusions.
Right now from CNN.com, they show Bush as having 52% of the popular vote. In their “full Florida exit poll,” Bush has 49.8% of the vote.
Likewise, they show Kerry with 47% of the popular vote, and 49.7% of the exit poll vote.

Just for fun, I started trying to figure out how Kerry might win if he takes PA but loses OH and FL. He’d have to take all of the swing states that were leaning towards him in the last polls (i.e. NH, IA, NM) and also take two out of three from WI, CO, HI.
In short, not bloody likely.
I can’t sit here and mindless refresh CNN’s Ohio page any longer. I’m going to go eat and come back in a few hours.
