Bush is up 3% in Ohio, with 99% reporting. (Will be up by 150,000 when finished before the provisionals). A greater margin than in a few states Kerry has won.

Bush is up 3% nationally with 93% reporting.

Maybe Kerry should get his lawyers to ask for a complete "Do Over" in the entire country. These Democratic a-holes have no shame Rolling Eyes

At 5:32pm China time, it's now 269 electoral votes for Bush, 270 needed to win. This is just too much to take, and it's been a true nail biter. But as previous posts indicate, it all hinges on Ohio and that's where Kerry may still have a chance. If Bush wins, it's 4 more years of teaching and living abroad for me, that's for sure.

What left wing media?

They refuse to call Ohio despite Bush's big lead.

According to the CSPAN site Kerry is leading in PA by 126,902 votes and that's called for Kerry.

Bush leads in Ohio by 147,613 votes.

Hmmmm. Are there really that many more provisional and potential absentee ballots in OH than PA? I find that unlikely.

So, what's the difference? Oh, wait, PA favors Kerry.

No bias here, nothing to see, moveon.org, I mean move along.

ChinaEFLTeacher: I can't believe you are not working as a comedian, that was so LAME Laughing

Why don't you head back to the beach and stick your head in the sand again.

One piece of advice: before sticking it in the sand - take your head out of your orifice that does not have teeth !

gmat,
maybe i'll head on over to dalian for some beach and sun. and i'll be sure to look you up. remember, keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer.
you've got some balls insinuating lesser intelligence after you're bush-like posts earlier. maybe you just like that guy because you can truly relate to his innermost thoughts.

The projections are based on more than just the state's grand totals. They are more focused on which votes have yet to be counted and where those vote are in the state. Kerry won Pennslyvania early because the liberal East had so far not been fully represented in the vote count.

In the case of Ohio, the provisional ballots tend to go democrat because they are used for eligible voters who are not on the voting register. These people are most likely to be low income urban people - hence democrat. The question is are there enough of them.

Iowa and New Mexico are incredibly close. It's going to come down to within a few thousand votes for each.

A few networks have responded very admirably this time. A few haven't. Kerry is right to ask for certainty. I would expect Bush to do the same.

People who vote for Bush are like "Yaay we get to hold up a big W during rallies! I�ll vote for BUSH! he made funny joke I'll vote for BUSH!" But seriously I used to be one of those guys that would defend Americans and say "Americans aren�t dumb it's their president, don't blame the Americans that he is In office because Al Gore won and Bush was obviously scammed into office" But if Bush gets elected for the first time I will have lost almost all of the respect I had for Americans. I'm sorry but a President who turns the IRS onto the NAACP to stop their funding because they don't like Bush is acting like he's Hitler or mr KKK. And if you support a president that does such things and you vote for him you are as racist as he is. And if another 911 happens in the U.S. you will find it hard for me to have sympathy for most Americans because it was you that put in the recruiter of Terrorist into office because his foreign policy was built on lies, murder and more lies and because of this terrorism was alowed to grow, in other words you dug your own graves. The facts are all there that Bush (Hitler) lied about Iraq and many other things and to ignore such facts is just being ignorant just like Bush. Now I do know that there are Americans who hate Bush as mush as 99% of the world does and I sympathize with you, but hey it's the other half that knows he's a retard but will still vote for him because the rest of the world hates him and you want to vote for him out of spite and not out of common sense.
