Election Day Thread

Futures contracts for Bush are now going for $81.5 (with $100 at expiration for the election winner). Kerry's are going for 17.5.

 

abc too. so, what happened to rock the vote and the cell phone users? maybe republicans rock harder?

 

the swing has been unreal today.....day started out with bush at 55.. then went down to about 28 for a while and now at 81....unreal

 

Let's hope history repeats itself....

 

mathematically impossible at this point. bush is too far up.

 

florida switching or rather lying?

 

Something like 30% of all votes in FL are early/absentee. I don't know if that's counted or not.

But it's not looking too good for jfk there.

In other news, the gap between the two in OH is about equal to the spread between them in Cleveland - which is half in. Ceteris paribus, that makes it very interesting. That's the last bullet in the JFK gun though. Too bad because I may have to turn it on myself.

 

I'd like to thank my people for their efforts. Hispanics, you have done the Lord's work today. A hearty thank you to all Hispanics who voted.

 

why is local news getting so much time tonight? i'm flipping back and forth across the big 4 and getting way too much local activity. i wanna see brokaw, jennings, rather, and smith and all the current ECV tallies. i know there are local races and props to worry about but lets worry about them less. man it's crazy how close some of these states are.


edit: the guy in the coor's commercials, pete coors, is running for senator in CO? didn't know that.


edit edit: where does alaska stand. is it a solid state for one of the candidates?

 

Alaska is a solid red (Bush) state.

 

AK is all republican.

Daily kos, for whatever its worht, says 1 million absentee/early votes stil to be counted in FL.

Could that possibly be true?

 

bush "strategist" says "no doubt" about ohio. bush will win by over 100k votes.

 

dunno, but even if it were, they'd have to break 70-30 for kerry to have a chance.

 

Oil



And more oil.

 

Looks like this one is about over. The young voters apparently didn't show like some expected.

 

I blame Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

 

If 17% of 40% of possible voters turned out in 2000...

and

If 17% of 60% of possible voters turned out in 2004...

Then...

More young people showed up to vote. The off set is that more older voters showed up also.

 

That is under the assumption if you thought the young voters were for Kerry.

 

sounds like anti gay marriage amendments are doing well in most states. not happy about that.

 

Hey, Will , this will probably be down if/when you ever read this, but:

Dewey defeats Truman?

c'mon guys....stop teasing us.
