I'm gonna go find Neehai's house and if he's sleeping, I'm going to blow a fog-horn in his ear for about a half hour.

Yay partisanism! Who needs rational thought when you can just blindly vote straight-ticket?

Yee-ha!

LMAO....there are still people voting in Ohio (that's right, polls closed 5 1/2 hours ago, and people are still in line waiting for their turn to vote). Fox is on crack.

NBC just gave Ohio to Bush, too... the areas where people are voting are predominately Republican...

Oh, and Alaska just went to Bush too.

269... the best Kerry can hope for is a TIE... and if it's a TIE... the Senate decides... they are majority Republican...

FOUR MORE YEARS!

I honestly don't give a shit who Ohio goes to...they're both complete jackasses. The point is it's absolutely ridiculous to call a state when the people aren't even done voting. *shakes head*

The places that are still open are voting 2:1 REPUBLICAN... they can safely call the state when this is the case.

Exactly. They say the absentee ballots are also going to go to Bush overwhelmingly.

That's not the point....what a great way to make people who have stood in line for hours think that their vote meant something. I would be very angry if I got home from voting (and standing in line for 2+ hours) and they were already calling the election in favor of one person or another. It's just not right.

I just did. People scream about how much every vote counts.....that's obviously bullshit if people are calling a state before everyone has even voted.


edited to add: I'm not arguing the fact the Bush will *probably* take Ohio, I just don't think it's right to call it before everyone has voted, regardless of the probable results.

Princess... if those people weren't still voting and the exit polls weren't still going on, they couldn't call the state. Does that make sense?

Their votes ARE what makes it possible to call the state because in the end, THEIR votes ARE what "sealed" the election for W. They most definately counted.
