Dur, you DO realize that most predictions assumed Bush would sweep the Midwest, right? The graphic may look impressive, but their electoral votes aren't.

uh, what?
democrats hate bush because he's a republican and that's it.... don't get all elitist on us again. You understand that he's done basically what only a republican president could/would do. It's the republican way of doing things you're against. Sure all republicans don't agree with everything he does all the time (I bet I only agree with him 66% of the time) but basically he's done what a republican president would have done.
This is all just election day talk that always goes overboard.
I can't possibly hate Kerry because he doesn't stand for anything at all. That just makes him a curious choice for a presidential nominee... and definitely not worth a vote in my mind. But in the game of party politics this is the your guy so we have to hate him right?

"WHAT OF THE REPORTS OF THE DEMOCRATS MASSING NEAR MIAMI-DADE?"
"IT IS OF NO CONCERN. SOON THE REBELLION WILL BE CRUSHED AND AMERICA WILL BE ONE OF US. YOUR WORK HERE IS FINISHED, MY FRIEND. GO OUT TO THE COMMAND POST AND AWAIT MY ORDERS."
"YES, MY MASTER."

For those getting depressed at the Ohio data...There are a lot of rural counties in southern Ohio that will go for Bush. So, as the precincts report in, it might look like Bush is edgeing ahead at some points. When the more urban precincts report in, it will probably look much closer.

Please people. take a look at CNN's results by county in Florida.
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/FL/P/00/index.html
Palm Beach - 0% reporting
Broward - 0% reporting
Miami-Dade - 0% reporting
Gore didn't win much else in Florida in 2000.

Wait, Broward is coming in and Bush's lead is cut by 3%.
EDIT: And that's only with 56% of Broward.

Anyone have any idea what those precincts are? Florida we know from 2000, but Ohio I havn't heard. If this news is true, and that the typically democractic precincts have not been counted yet, I'd be a bit more optomistic consider that it isn't an enitre blow out yet.
Here's a county by country breakdown in Ohio...
http://election.sos.state.oh.us/results/RaceDetail.aspx?race=PP
Doing a quick look at the breakdown, in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), where Kerry is leading by a 2-1 margin, only 1.53% of precincts are in. Summit County (Akron) isn't reporting anything yet. Lucas (Toledo) isn't in yet either. Stark (Canton) isn't in yet. Franklin (Columbus) is dead even, but less than one percent of the precincts are in. Hamilton (Cincinatti) is also not in yet.

There hasn't been any deviation from the 2000 election results thus far, aside from New Hampshire.
It's kinda scary. Things have changed drastically in these 4 years, but people continue to vote the same in these areas. People and their political goggles...

Yes they can be incorrect, and there is a probability of that as well. When its within a certain comfort zone such that the trend is clear, most states will be called. Only if its within a (larger) percent error will a state not be called to avoid the problems of last year and people having to go testify before COngress on how it could have happened and all the pain and suffering associated with that.
