Well, I voted for Bush, on the Conservative ticket though. Doesn't really matter though, as Kerry took NY anyways.

Well if it makes you feel better, Bush looks to be slaughtering Kerry, at least right now.   :)

Uh, that's only because the west coast hadn't been counted yet, Fuzzy.  California can swing an election quite handily.

Right now Fox has Bush at 210 and Kerry at 206, that dosen't seam to be a slaughter in my mind.  Though it looks like Bush is going to get Florida so it's all Ohio now.  Aren't you from there Fuzzy?  Too bad you're graduatued or you could have voted in that state.

I am from ohio, and am excited that my home state will be such a big swing state!  J.T. and I have been talking to the parents.  apparently a few places in Ohio had ridiculously long lines of people waiting to vote.  I'll be interested to see what voter turnout was like for this election, nationwide.

120 million or 130 million which is big...

Personally I would be more happy with a victory by one side or another this election because so many people came out to vote.

Like a clear victory, no lawsuites?  I agree.  True I want one to win over the other, but I think it's better to have a clear winner.

269-242 Bush at the moment (so they say), but it looks like my absentee vote in Ohio helped!

Ya, funny thing is Nevada has 99% of thier districts in and Bush is ahead by 3% (over 20,000 vote lead) yet none of the net works want to call it since no one is watching them.

Well it's pretty aparent that Bush won with 286 in the electorial college.  For Kerry to TIE Bush in Ohio all the over sea ballots and all the provisional ballots would have to be for Kerry which no one thinks is possible (which it's not) and if they all did there would be a tie in which the House would vote.  And since the House is overwhelmingly Republican now there's not much chance of a Kerry victory.  

Bush also won the Popular vote by the widest margin ever (not percentage wise, but total vote wise).

Well, it was nice knowing you guys. I'd say I'd see you at the crossroads or something, but, since you're all mormans, I'm probably going to hell or something, so yeah.
