CNN just showed an analysis that looked promising in Ohio. Kerry's doing better in the Gore areas than Gore did. Turnout, turnout, turnout.

Florida, less good.

Good God - Daschle and Thune are within *24* votes of each other. I have no love for the spineless Daschle, but a D seat is a D seat.

PA for Kerry. Thank God.

Now, Ohio. If he can win Ohio, he wins.

Florida - Leaning Bush. I'm gonna call it for Bush.
Hawaii - Ought to be Kerry, but iffy.
Iowa - Tight as hell. Could go either way.
Michigan - Leaning Kerry.
Minnesota - Leaning Kerry.
Nevada - Leaning Bush.
New Hampshire - Very close.
Ohio - God knows. This is the one.
Oregon - Should go Kerry.
Wisconsin - Leaning Bush.

The exit polls on the CNN site look good for Kerry in Ohio, good for Bush in Florida.

Larry King said Nader had a stroke and that goofed him up.

Nader's on right now and babbling complete nonsense. I hate him.

Gay marriage/civil union bans passed overwhelmingly in 10 of 11 states. Still close in Oregon. Stupid people. Hey, Cliff, how's the IT job market in Toronto?

BTW, is anyone watching Fox News tonight? I can't watch it for more than five minutes without losing my fucking mind. I'm sure they're being as "fair and balanced" as usual. :roll:

With 64% of the precincts reporting, Bush is leading in OH. I'm VERY nervous about this...

Unsurprisingly, it appears that Bush has Florida now.

It's painful to say, but I think you can put a fork in Kerry.

That's the trick. A lot of the urban, predominantly Dem areas supposedly haven't reported in yet.

I'm not hopeful.
