8:30 am on wednesday...Bush has taken OH, NV....and later today he will take Iowa and NM.
Kerry needs to man up and concede in ohio and nationally!!! 136,000 votes is too much to overcome with the provisional ballots. Kerry would have to win about 80-90% of them.
Bush is killing him in the popular vote, and OH isn't even close (not like Fl was in '00). I don't think the country would stand for a lawsuit right now. Their are no grounds to dragged this out.
Some comments...
The Electoral College is an antiquated voting system. IF we want to spread democracy around the world by being an example of a progressive democracy in action where the voter's intent is reflected, we need to get rid of the electoral college.
A voting system with a plurality of the vote is better although not the best. Clearly, Bush has the most votes. There is no doubt about that as far as I can tell.
This is the first time in the past 4 presidential elections that ANY candidate has received a MAJORITY of the vote.
Last election, voters weren't sure who Bush was and what he would do. Now everyone knows very well. And the voters came out to the polls and they voted for Bush.
Whether or not you agree or disagree with Bush, this election was a strong validation of his policies. The Republicans who have aligned themselves with Bush dominated the Senate races and had a huge pickup in seats.
You will either feel much, much safer today.
Or you will be gravely concerned about the future.
This is the two different realities of the Democrats and Republicans that I expect will become more polarized.
