Bush is ahead in Orange County (FL) - Gore won it by 2% in 2000 (per Fox)!
Yay!

That depends on whether or not the state is called Florida.
I wonder if it is too soon to start crying.
Kerry loosing Virginia is bad.
VA & NC to Mr Bush, as expected, and by wider margins (so far) then the last polls projected.
Could someone tell gus to quit bogging the, um, popcorn. Pass it around, dude.
MSNBC has the exit poll data for Florida saying 50%/50% ... and Betty Castor (D) winning out over Mel Martinez (R) 51/48 in whats been a too-close-to-call race all along ...
But thats the exit poll. Real incoming results still 56/43 for Bush and 52/45 for Martinez.
Pan, whatcha going on, here? Is that what they say on TV?
nimh <-- no TV goddarnit
CNN is predicting Coburn (R) as the winner in the OK senate race.
A proud day indeed for all insane people.
They've basically forecast Bush and Martinez as the winners
How bad is Virginia?
That didn't surprise me... was it supposed to?

I just find it hard to believe that it can be so certain how it will go when only 20% of the votes have been counted.
Sitting on the arm of the chair to the left... I just came from a beer run. Negro Modelos anyone? I have a bottle of Korbel chilling in the fridge for when Bush concedes. That'll be worth celebrating!
Virginia was slated to be a Bush win.
Nimh, TV had Martinez dipping awhile ago but now he's coming on strong again...
<smiles at the optimistic princess>

They're not certain, especially because of all the new voters, but historically their sample precincts have been very accurate tells.

Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade counties haven't reported any results yet.
That was from Peter Jennings...I agree joe...I'm waiting for those 3 counties
Thanks, Bill.
I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow because it's 2am here and time for bed for the Duke. Have fun folks, nighty-night...
With 80% of results in, Mongiardo at 50% against Bunning in Kentucky. Goood.
(EDIT: 50% - not 80%, obviously)
With 30% reporting, DeMint (R) leading Tenenbaum (D) 51 to 46 in SC. Pretty close. That gonna look better still as more results come in from bigger precincts, or doesn't that work like that in SC? I posted in my Senate thread about DeMint ... people like him and Coburn seem to represent the worst of the Reps ...
Isakson leading Majette in Georgia, 63 to 34 - not good. Well, only 29% of precincts reporting, and its not like Majette was ever gonna win ... but what a lead.
Passes Soz a cold one... tickles Joe's avatar under his second chin and asks who that is supposed to be...?
Not a shot of the aged barefoot baseball player- or was that your former avatar?
