Ha, almost enough to make me watch CBS. Almost...
Kerry pulls ahead! - 15 states
Bush - 66 votes
Kerry - 77 votes
Bush is still pulling in 57% of the popular vote.
The key is that no states have changed sides yet. If Kerry doesn''t make a Red state Blue, then Bush will win again.
Still WAY too close to call anything.

Some Bush states too close to call at this time like VA and North Carolina is not a good sign. Further, Fox had some exit polling that Bush isn''t as strong with Hispanics in Florida.
I''m curious how Iowa goes.

Early returns from Ohio and Pennsylvania show a Kerry lead in double digits for both. It''s early, but Kerry jumping out to that big of a lead that early can''t be a bad sign for the senator.

Bush is done. Put a fork in him.

Florida is turning out to be a disappointment for Kerry.

Arizona is apparently expecting a 75% voter turn out, up from 46% last time.

Yeah, all the states have gone as last time, Kerry needs to win some new ones. NJ came out Kerry when yesterday''s polls showed a dead-heat. Popular vote is getting closer, 54% - 46%. It will be a very interesting night.
Too early - Bush is running a lead in Ohio now.
Still getting punked in Penn though.

I''m using yesterday''s electoral-vote.com map. So far, they are pretty accurate. When we know Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, I think we''ll know the finals. Unless some state goes nuts and changes it''s character.

I think if California went Bush, the screams would cause it to slide into the ocean....

How often do they update? Right now they''re predicting Kerry by one electoral vote.

Bush 176, Kerry 112 right now. Most of the south and plains states have been projected and gone for Bush as expected. Kerry still edging up the popular vote, now at 52% - 47%. I agree with Robear, OH, PA and FL will close it out I think.
EDIT: Rat, it''s based on the projections from the polls taken from other sources. It has not updated today.
Bush still leads Ohio and Florida, both 52-47 percent.
Florida''s getting awful late in the process - 79% reporting. Gotta say that it''s a bit surprising. Ohio''s still much earlier along.
His lead in Florida shrinks a liiiitle bit each update, but not very fast.

Missouri and Arkansas for Bush. Bush is playing as strong as he did in 2000. Stronger in Florida.

Florida is always late because most of the citizens are usually at the early bird special in palm beach. The rest of the rednecks are out hunting, fishing, or watching nascar.

Yeah, Florida has gone from 260k down to 225k. I don''t know how much urban area is left to report, though. I''m thinking FL is going Bush.

If they change the Constitution, possibly.
Pennsylvannia for Kerry. This is deja vu all over again.

Cali for Kerry.
It just got a lot closer.

this is facinating...really.
I haven''t clicked on the refresh button more often even when checking for fantasy football scores.
I still think Bush is going to lose. He''ll lose Ohio, and get 268 electoral votes.
