Am I reading this right?
============
CALIFORNIA
52% Kerry
47% Bush
28% precincts reporting
==============
Bush could feasibly still win California?! And Ohio is within about 100,000 votes with 80% reporting. If the counties that haven't reported yet are heavily democratic, it could go either way.
But I'm going to bed for real this time. I hope a miracle occurs while I'm asleep. Later.

No you're right. They aren't on GA either. I think young people are to blame for the result. They talked a lot of trash, but didn't show up to vote. It's happened before and probably will happen again. I turn 29 at the end of the month, but I didn't see more than 2 people that appeared to be younger than me go out and vote. It only took me 10 min to vote (even though I was inactive and had to fill out a new address form), but still. If you were going by the feelings of your friends and people on GA, you weren't really that in touch. People may not agree with everything that Bush has to say, but Kerry's extreme liberalism and pandering turned a great deal of people off.
What people here don't realize is that Bush is pretty damn liberal for a "republican." He's passed every bill calling for more federal spending that has hit his desk. Many hard-core conservatives are very upset with Bush. They just aren't upset with Bush enough to vote for Kerry. If the democrats had chosen a less-liberal candidate like Wesley Clark, they would have gotten more cross-over votes. They went with the polar opposite in Kerry, and it appears it might cost them the election.
Michael Moore am crying fat tears of defeat onto gut now.
Seriously, if you people thought that what happened with Clinton was a witch hunt... hooo boy. Ol' Dubya and friends will be lucky to be able to walk upright when the criminal justice system is done with them. Lots of people are just plain going to FREAK OUT.
Mostly, I blame the media. The liberal, simpering, pussy ass media. For not standing up to this deceptive, horseshit Adminstration when they had the opportunity to do so. I can only hope that they realize it's now or never. And even now might be too late.
Fuck. I mean, I voted for Nader(in Georgia, simmer down assholes), but even I thought there was no way that the majority of America could seriously be dumb enough to re-elect this man. I guess the gay marriage ballot initiatives really worked. That is incredibly, incredibly sad.

Well, here's my take.
We got out the vote alright -- well, more accurately, ROVE got out the vote. Evangelicals got mobilized -- exit polls report that the TOP issue among Republican voters was NOT Iraq; NOT terror; NOT the economy; NOT prescription drugs; it WAS PUBLIC MORALS.
There's no doubt that those little "Kerry wants to ban the Bible" flyers were 100% effective. Even if the recipients didn't believe them 100%, why would they take the chance? More importantly, though, the "gay marriage/stem cell/abortion" spike Rove hammered down the throats of the media made a huge difference in battleground states; is there ANY doubt how the voters that showed up at Ohio's booths JUST for the anti-gay marriage referendum voted in the prez race?
Lastly, as drohne pointed out on IRC, Gibson's "The Passion" showed evangelicals that they were a large and powerful force, both economically AND politically.
The ghost of Barry Goldwater smiles on America this day.

I have every intention of driving/taking Amtrak to Washington DC to join the protesters there. Lets make the next 4 years horrible for Bush.
Bravo Eminem, rather. You've read his post a tad too quickly.
He meant that this *situation* (and he's referring to YOUR situation) is the reason why Bush is elected. He noted that in YOUR situation, you weren't educated enough on the issues. Your vote for Kerry seemed instincitive and not based on anything concrete (ie. "a change wouldn't hurt" [paraphrased] seemed like a passive attitude).
A passive attitude towards this election, towards deciding the future of America, is exactly what will hurt your nation.

Can you please point to the issues where Kerry is an extreme liberal?
Just because the situation is like this;
<left>.................................Kerry.....<center>.....................................................................................................<Bush>
doesn't make Kerry an "extreme liberal".

I was depressed for a bit..
But i have realized that I live in Canada, and it really affects me very little. Infact, Ive heard Bush is probably better for Canada than Kerry.
I just find it funny that Americans mock Arab countries for being overly religious.. when the same fucking thing is happening in America. I feel for rational thinking Americans.

I'm as pissed as anybody, but there is a silver lining in this dark cloud. I've read that if Bush were to actually win today, starting Nov. 3 there would be a revolution within the Republican party. I cross my fingers that its true. Believe me, it is not only Dems that are aware of Bush's shortcomings and (God willing) retribution is just around the corner.
That wasn't amongst Republican voters. That was among ALL voters. And I honestly just couldn't believe that. There is so much bad shit going on in the world, and these people are upset that Frank and John might be able to get the legal recognition that Frank and Joan get.Drinky Crow said:

I'm so tired right now. I'm about to go to bed and pray until I pass out for a turnaround. If we're not so lucky, I look forward to seeing all you awesome people in Canada.
G'night.
G'night.

i fear for what bush will do now that he doesn't have to care about approval ratings or being reelected. i was hoping to see bush's defeat face, not that smarmy shit-eating grin of his.. ugh.
i can't believe this -
rednecks win again!
