Bush leads

Tenn and Arkansas goes to Bush, kinda tells ya the kinda confidence Clinton/Gore's home state has in them huh?

 

[konichiwa]

Shiat...now all he needs is FLA and he wins. Watch him not get it. Bwahwahwa...

 

[Napalm381]

hmmmmmmmmm NV to Bush, interesting choice.

 

[Futuramatic]

Assuming CNN is right... all Bush needs is Florida!!!

 

[Entity]

Thank,

It's based a lot on exit polls. And, as we've seen with Florida, they're not always that accuarte.

St Louis polls are NOT still open

that ruling to keep them open was overturned, they were closed at just after 8PM

 

[ElFenix]

nader isn't changing florida, bush is up by 140,000, nader has 75,000.

cali only has 21% reporting right now, which is why bush is up but gore still wins.

 

[probegt21]

Help me, I am still curious how California can declare a winner when only a small percentage of votes are in and now Bush is leading in popular votes in that state. Can a state give the votes to Gore even when the opponent is leading in votes in that state?

Who wants a tie

Gore needs Florida, and Jeb won't let him have it.



Rob

(Gore just got Washington called. That's 11 more. Here's hoping for Florida...)

 

[Futuramatic]

tgill-

A MSNBC reporter live from St Louis said htey were open not 10 minutes ago...

MSNBC says: Bush 242 - Gore 242

Holy butt cheeks Batman!!

 

[BiggieN]

i wanna see it so tight that they have to recount it all...get this up to 500 by midnight!

 

[konichiwa]

WAhoo! WASH to Gore! Now Gore needs FLA and one of the other little ones.

Red,

Did I just see you post something that wasn't cynical?

Rob

 

[Russ]

Who says Americans are all apathetic about the elections?

Rob

 

[John]

I am not so sure Bush has FL....

 

[Tripleshot]

WI and IA are looking good for Gore so far.

 

[somethingwitty]

Russ, 2/3 of the remaining florida votes are strong democratic areas

 

[IBhacknU]

Yea.. I want a tie, but I think Bush is gonna pull it off.

 

[konichiwa]

Russ:

It appears that the part of Florida that hasn't been counted yet is 2/3 democratic. Wow this is a nail-biter.
