i sharpened my crayon, it looks like , if you take the current trend and keep OH and FL open, you get something like

start at 210 Bush, 199 Kerry

255 Kerry - (taking OR,NV,MN,IA,WI,MI)
224 Bush - (taking CO,NM)


that leaves OH-20 and FL-27

at that point, Kerry obviously only needs either OH or FL , Bush has to take both or he loses

so Bush needs OH and FL to get 271 and win

gee, this isn't close :roll:

i think its weird that kerry isn't running away with hamiton county, oh. maybe they haven't started counting inner city ballots yet

They learned from their mistake.

i was giving Kerry the benefit of the doubt

i think it is going to be Ohio deciding

i am listen to NPR now and even NPR just called FL for Bush

everyone else has put FL for bush.

OH is going to be close. kerry is running away and hiding in cuyahoga, with 52% reporting. 140,000 vote lead for bush in OH though.

CNN is smoking crack.

I have determined that CNN = dem.

they are in denial and won't give Bush the EVs

CNN is just terrified of screwing up like they did last year. They are being overly cautious.

Well, the gap is widening in Ohio.. If the states go as suggested on DrudgeReport (and Bush wins Alaska and Kerry wins Hawaii), the final count will be:

269 to 269

What happens then? Does the House of Representatives decide or something like that?

Yes, the HOR determines the president (Bush would win). The senate determines Vice president (Edwards would win!!!).
