If you want a laugh watch CBS. Dan Rather is arguing that Kerry can still win. Ed Bradley explained the numbers to Rather, twice, and Rather still won't let it go.

What the hell just happened in New Mexico? Bush just lost all of his lead in about 2 seconds? Whats going on?

Sorry, the Corner now says that the list I linked to is incomplete. I'm not sure of the real numbers, but they may well be as originally announced.

Sorry Ace, but you see those empty spaces on the chart (next to, e.g., "Cuyahoga")? More ballot numbers to show up there.

Rather will not die. I can't believe this bastard is holding on so long. Guess it sucks to try so hard to bring down the Prez and find that America doesn't roll over for you. Just call it Dan, then get on a plane with Redford and the rest of the threatening ex-pats. Don't go to Ireland. My people would eat you.

That number of provisional ballots isn't complete - it's increasing as we speak.

In any case, Bush won. Break out the bubbly.

I'm concerned, saddened, and disappointed to report that Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle has lost his reelection bid.

Capp, frankly I question the timing.

Bush's margin in OH is greater in absolute numbers and percentage points of all votes cast than Kerry's in PA. Why isn't PA "too close to call", too?

I hear Baghdad Bob's position is still open--maybe he still has that ridiculous "Gunga Dan" halloween costume from his days in the Stans--ya know the one Geraldo modelled later??

Hell, him AND Peter Arnett could go to work for Al jazerra--Zawkari and his BF crew might wait awhile b4 cutting his throat--seeing as they are SOOO media savvy..

Course then, you'd be surprised how much one of them and a cameraman look like an RPG rag and his loader at 150 meters in the heat shimmer of late afternoon...heh....chopper boys got the last one..suppose its even more fleeting at 140 knots and about 300 ft.....heh

jfk is "his" generation's Eddie Slovik/Benedict Arnold...in search of a firing squad since 1971....

Anyone that stayed up all night knows that the Ohio Secretary of State made the following statement on both CNN and Fox:

"In the 2000 Presidentital election, we had about 100,000 provisional ballots. Our numbers indicate that we will probably have 30-40% more this time."

Now, I admit that I have had calculus, but by my math, that's 140,000. Oddly, that's almost the EXACT SAME NUMBER OHIO JUST ANNOUNCED (7:40 CST). On CNN, when he made that statement, Wolf Blitzer said, "You mean there are 200,000 to 250,000 provisional ballots?" The poor Sec of State was tired and he answered, "Yes." As a result, they proceeded to repeat over and over and over and over again that there were still 250,000 votes left. Of course, the Democratic memo from Mary Beth Cahill reinforced that.

Expect there to be a bunch of yammering about the 110,000 "missing" provisional ballots.
