The 2004 US Election General Commentary Thread

[Loony BoB]

This thread can now be used for commentary on the elections as the votes come in etc. I noticed that all the threads are specific right now with regards to things such as who you'll be voting for, what's the world opinion and whatever. So, now general flowing discussion is free to be held here with regards to what the news is saying etc. etc.

Feel free to post links, quote news stories and... uh... whatever else you do in all this stuff. I don't know. Say when a state has an official vote count or something? Any sort of developments, I guess. I'll sticky this, too.

Rubedo: Personally, I think that America won't be heading in a good direction either way. I find both candidates to be horrible in many ways, but, I don't think I'd be wanting to stand four more years of Bush.

Elections are fun for everyone!*

I voted after coming home from school. The lines were great, I only had to wait 2 minutes.

But my polling place was packed in the morning...as it will be later tonight when people come home from work. I hate how my state doesn't allow early ballots...you can at least divert some votes from rushing in all at once.

Virginia hasn't called yet - worrying for the Republicans? I'm going to bed once the next few states have called. I have to be up at half five...

Virginia is going Republican unfortunately. Northern VA is highly democratic, while southern virginia is highly republican. Good news for Kerry though, he has leads in Ohio, Michigan, PA, and NY...that's about 70 electoral votes...and he'll most likely win the chunky 55 electoral votes of California...but we'll see. It looked bad early on with Bush taking a 39-3 electoral vote lead, but that was because the Southern states had already cast their ballots.

Edit: Gosh damn, Bush has the popular vote in almost every reporting state that has not been declared. Some by extremely large margins. I get more and more depressed each time I see this...how can people vote for an idiot? Kerry's only hope is that he wins the chunky states like Ohio, Cali, NY, and PA because Texas will surely go to Bush.

Bush has won most of the states he was expected to win already. The rest are pretty solid Kerry or toss-up states.

Thank God for California being so big. PA going to Kerry wasn't a surprised despite Bush visiting PA 40 times. Ohio is what worries me. So far, it's leaning in Bush's favor.

Say it isn't so... Bush is very close to winning this election. If Kerry doesn't obtain Ohio, his chances of winning are going to be very small. So far, according to ABC News, the results are:

Bush: 237
Kerry: 188

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I think it's about over. Bush seems to be leading in Ohio. With Florida under him too, I don't think he's going to lose.

If this turns out like I think it is I may be eating mutton for a few solid months.

My compliments to anyone who got that last comment.

According to an NBC poll, Bush is at 207 to Kerry at 199.

[Trumpet Thief]

Well, they are all pretty much projecting the results. Still, it feels as though Bush is going to come out on top, which just sickens me
