Surprise! Problems in florida.
Seems they can't count the absentee ballots until Thursday, even though other states have more absentee ballots and will be counting them today.
I wonder if the "absentee ballots" include the early ballots that were cast, of which there were over a million in Florida.

I'm a Bush supporter and I don't see where you are getting your numbers..
I'm still trying to figure out how GWB is going to pull this one out.
Well, on a bright note (he popped back into the thread), I see that Nevada is coloured light blue on yahoo ... hadnt expected that.
I guess this, then, would be the time to point out that if Kerry wins all the states that are now lightblue there (thus incl NH, MN, IA and NV), then he needs to pick off 16 more EVs still from the states that now are still coloured light-red. Either Ohio or Florida will do that, of course, but so could other combinations.
Yeah, this seems like a good moment to point out that if he really gets all those lightblue states, he could lose OH and FL and still win - if he picks off two of the light-red states. Unfortunately, it cant be New Mexico - not enough EVs. Its gotta be the other two: Wisconsin and Colorado. (WI and NM would get ya a tie in the EC).
Problem is that although Kerry's currently still behind the 4-5% in CO that he also is in FL or OH, he is a whopping 9 points behind in WI. Of course, thats just with a quarter of precincts reporting.
<goes off seeing if he can find some other silver lining perhaps>
Did Nimh go to bed? For real?
Martinez has dropped to dead even
(Nimh, that could be a very positive tell for your side.)
E Brown: Cubans are strongly, strongly Republican. the only Hispanic group that is.
Overall, the Hispanic vote might be somewhat less pro-Kerry than pro-Gore.

Heh - a conversation in which both sides doubt themselves. See, thats the kind I like, its more my thing. Love ya both
(Fedral is one of my favourite posters I'll never agree with)
I can't even swear we aren't all imagined by someone/something else's mind, the product of an evil scientist probing a nerve in some brain to make it create and believe this reality (it's possible, however unlikely, you can't prove it's not true, or can you? But, I digress.) I looked, and counted, but doubted my count which was done on the fly and through a haze of 2 beers in about 2 hours... I should NOT have doubted my ability to tally up numbers, I am an accounting major after all, goddammit. 
But an unworthy one...
nimh....lots of people see it that way, but I see deadlock = gridlock. I'm really optimistic some good stuff will get done in the next 4 years.
