Race for the White House....The Official Thread

Here we go....

[strandinthewind]

How do we know these officiasl results. I do not trust exit polls :shrug:

[dissention]

Bush has won IN, KY, GA so far. Kerry has Vermont.

But this is not surprising, those are solid red states. :) Vermont is a solid blue state, too.

Kerry will win Virginia and South Carolina, mark my words. :xoxo:

[gldstwmn]

God, my stomach's in knots!

Bush has won IN, KY, GA so far. Kerry has Vermont.

Vermont was tied. This is excellent news! No surprises on the other three.

That's what I was just thinking - earliest poll closings are at 7pm = at that point though they've got to get through all the people already standing in line....BUT the states mentioned above...wouldn't surprise me if they went the Bush route...

CNN is confusing. They said they were going to wait as long as possible, but when 7:00 hit, they started. The announced four out of the six states.....they said two were too close to call. :shrug:

Karl Rove Attempts To Emit Human Tears #
6:40 p.m.
Naturally, we don't want to jump any guns here. Oh sure we do, we'll jump just about anything by this point. More squawking:


A certain high ranking former republican senator called Karl Rove around 5:15 this evening. Bush's brain sounded "dejected" and gave less than a 30% chance for a Bush win.

Exit polls gave Sen. Kerry a 52%-48% lead in Ohio shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. ET, but neither the TV networks nor the AP immediately called the battleground state based on those projections. Also close was North Carolina.

As far as local races- I'm loving Keyes' 10% here in Illinois. Disappointed that Brownback's done it again in Kansas, my homestate, but at least Dennis Moore is pulling it out. I was disappointed to hear that apparently I'm still on the books in Kansas- my mom saw that I'm still registered, despite having not been registered there for three years. I could've voted twice! And at least thrown my measly vote against Brownback, that total ****.

I decided to start the REAL drinking when The Daily Show comes on. It's not like there will be a shortage of buzzwords to drink to starting at 10pm CDT. Besides, you guys really conviced me last night that I should hold off.

Besides, I have to wait until my cockatoo goes to sleep, and he's sitting on my shoulder right now. He LOVES LOVES LOVES beer, and any time I grab the can to take a drink, he holds onto my shoulder with one foot, grabs the neckline of my shirt with the other, and clamps (and I do mean CLAMPS) his beak down into the chug-hole of the can. And believe me, if you've never been around a fiending cockatoo, it's not that easy to take something away from him once he's decided that he wants it.

(And no, I don't let him drink too much, he just likes to run his tongue along the rim to dab up all the leftover drops and get a little taste. And if you think that's bad, you should see how he acts when I'm drinking a Mountain Dew! Damn pushy bird!!!)

Peter Jennings just explained that -- 4 electoral votes total -- 2 go to the pop vote winner of the state. The state is apparently split into 2 "regions" (or maybe they're called "districts"), and whichever candidate wins the region, he gets one of the remaining electoral votes. He said there was a possibility of Kerry getting all 4...

It was disspointing, but not surprising by any means.

[Johnny Stew]

I don't think Diss was blasting North Carolinians who didn't vote for Bush. Just the ones who still did, despite N.C.'s unemployment rate.

My friend, Louie, is in N.C., and I know he was working hard to get all of his Democrat friends out to vote, but many of his family and friends are Bush-Supporters. Still, every little bit helps! :)

I was going to suggest we try to keep this political thread civil, but civility and politics don't usually go together! ;) :laugh:

I understand. My frustration came from the one-two punch of NC dissing from you and Dis. No harm, no foul. I just wanted people to understand that we were never supposed to be a blue state so it's okay. :wavey:

I don't understand my state either-- but it does have a large rural population that is traditionally repub. Our state has never gone blue in my lifetime and I don't believe it's gone blue since 1964.

That's not the point. It was looking like Kerry was going to take NC, but Bush came from behind and took it. How he managed that when you look at unemployment numbers in NC and other things is beyond me. Every state has idiots, Meredith, you shouldn't take it personally.

It never looked like NC was going to go for Kerry... it was just "too close to call". Bush was always up by between 5 and 10 points. I'm just saying. I live here. I know it's got a lot of republicans. It's a red state. It's the bible belt. It's inevitable. I think John Edwards did make a difference though.. the fact that Bush didn't win by more than 10 points is a surprise.
