If CA keeps the same proportion, Kerry'll win by ~600k or so in that state - not enough to overcome the Bush popular vote lead. Still lots of other areas, but I gotta believe CA gives Kerry more raw vote differential than any remaining states.

ya, it looks like a done deal. CNN is still holding out...but the guy talking on CSPAN seems to think Bush has got it...but they don't think Kerry will come down yet.

Sean, I mean they didn't call it til way past it was over. They are likely to keep dragging their feet on Ohio, so this means a long night for me.
And I can't see out of one of my eyes -- I have to stop on the computer, even if I don't sleep.

I think Hobbes is right for a Bush call. (Congrats to our Bush supporters. ) I'm curious as to what we'll see in absentee ballots, moreso for the popular vote --- eg 60,000 still uncounted from Miami-Dade Co.

Yeah, my sister has to go to a sociology class at Portland Community College, where she is definitely a "stranger in a strange land." I think she was planning on skipping it.
Merry Elections to all and to all a GOODNIGHT!!

I'm still watching. Kerry needs 75% of the remaining Ohio votes to take it (Assuming the provisionals are split 50-50). He's pulled ahead by 4000 votes in Iowa, and he more or less has a lock on New Mexico.

Bush now has more votes than he got in 2000, with 19% of the precincts nationally to be counted.

Doesn't look good for Kerry -- looks like there aren't enough unreported precincts in pro-Kerry counties to make up the difference. But I guess there'll be the absentee votes yet...

I don't see anyway Kerry can make a comeback in Ohio. CBS, ABC, and CNN are just stubborn. It might not even matter. Bush is picking up New Mexico, Nevada, and Iowa and if he were to make up the slim difference in Winsconsin he won't even need Ohio.

I'm going to fly to DC and bop Kerry on the head if he drags this out in Ohio. I mean, come on. How many people have been griping about Bush not getting the popular vote last election?

It's looking real, real good. For Republicans that is. Picked up seats in both House and Senate, the President is heading for re-election, and he will be the first man to get the majority of the national popular vote since his father. (Clinton never got over 50% of the popular vote, remember.)
I can't sleep, I'm too keyed up. Looks like there is a good chance Daschle will be out of a job, too.

Clinton definately got more than 50% when he ran against Dole. So not really the first president to do that since Bush, but hey.

Hooray for Republicans. Hooray for Bush and Cheney!
I am happy today. My faith in the American voting public is restored. Too bad my own state couldnt swing around to Bush, but you can't have it all I suppose.

EDIT: Can anyone believe Thune beat Daschle? That's ridiculously stupid on the part of South Dakotans. Thune is never going to do as much for them as Daschle was able to. Oh well, there's no accounting for people.
