Being in Ohio as well, I can tell you that the problem last night was the fact that a lot of the polling places were not prepared for the huge turnout. Even when all the state polls were closed, a couple of areas in ohio were still going because there was a huge line even after 7:30.
Zio is correct. There really isn't any scandal, like there was in florida. There are just so many provisional ballets out, and it's so close that it just may swing the state. If Kerry didn't hold out until they were atleast counted, it would just be foolish on his part. From what I understand, the provisionals won't even be counted until Thursday, and the absentee ballots didn't even have to be postmarked until last night. I heard it could be something like 11 days until we officially know. I just don't see Kerry getting a majority of those votes though, because the areas most of those people are in are republican. We will see. Stranger things have happened. -------------------- <CENTER>BlakWolf - Gabriell <BR>Level 46 WAR / 22 MNK / 20 PAL / 19 THF / 15 SAM</CENTER>

At least every democratic candidate is guaranteed 55 electoral votes from Cali. That's thanks to Hollywood which is 99% democrat.
Bush has over 58 million popular votes, which is a new record for any president in history. EDIT: A WINNER IS DUBYA!!

At least Kerry was man enough to admit he couldn't pull this one off. One thing I found odd about his concession speech was he thanked his fellow swift boat vets, yet they hate his guts.
Well, we have 4 more years to live now. If Hillary wins in 2008, to Canada I go. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination." -Albert Einstein |

UGH, I don't know how he pulled it off. The whole cutting of college funding is going to piss me the hell off.

Don't be fooled by this, the election itself yielded the highest voter turnout since 1968. Bush got 51% of these votes. You do the math. Half the country still hates him.
These guys don't.  ... I'm pretty shocked by the results. I'm happy it was a close race, but I'm disappointed that so many Americans voted to re-elect him. He's really hurt the country in so many ways and I'm sad that people are not seeing this. I suppose the Democrats might have picked the wrong candidate, but I feel any man is better than Bush. The balance of power in the Senate and House scares me a bit as well since they are both swayed in favor of the Republicans. Even worse, I fucking sound like Morfos from TA right now (no offense to that person). I don't particularly like debates/politics, but the whole Bush regime really makes me sick to my stomach. <cyncisim> Let's just hope someone can fix all the damage that is left in the wake of his 8 year tenure. </cynicism> X_X -------------------- PSN ID: USF_Tailgater

Ah, Animal Farm (I think). Good book. The political system interests me because I've always liked to see what makes things tick. The way I see it, we've been doing things like this for 200+ years and are still intact, so we must be doing something right. Of course this is coming from one whose father gave 26 years of his life to protect our way of life in the Air Force, which I would have joined, but can't for medical reasons. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.

My one consolation in all this - now he's done with the presidency and he can never ever ever EVER run for President again.
 I expect the country to continue its downward slide, and I agree with Mute, I hope someone can come in after 8 yrs and fix it. When you look at how the Dems left the country 4 years ago, it seems that everyone slid so fast...so maybe it can be fixed quick. I just saw a news snippet saying Vegas is giving odds already on who will run next time - with Clinton and Gulianni (sp?) the best bets, Edwards and I forget the other Repub. the other two...I hope BOTH parties spend alot of time finding us better candidates this time than the two we had to choose from now, and I personally dont think Clinton OR Gulianni are acceptable examples in the least. >.< |

At least everyone agrees to disagree here. Interestingly enough, one of the initiatives on the ballot in Alaska was to legalize pot. However, my days with that stuff are over, especially since I hava a girlfriend who would break her foot off in my ass and then leave me if I lit up another J.

Yeah, Bush could never run again but Cheney still can >_> although I seriously doubt it because he is kinda getting up there in the years. |

Good point, however I have read that he has stated he has no interest in continuing in politics, as he can make lots more money in private industry instead, and that is where his goals are.
Besides, I do not believe that he would ever get the nod - hell, half his party wanted him booted for a different VP, didn't they? His health, his age, his poor attitude, (now that I think about it, I don't think his age has any bearing) his scandals, his business ties, all those work against him, and I think he knows it. |

Back in 2000, Dick Cheney was really more daddy's pick for VP than it was his son's.
Many are already predicting John McCain vs. Hillary Clinton for 2008. I would've wanted McCain to win in 2000, but oh well. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.
