The night started out really well for the TV networks. Unlike in previous years (read 2000), when one network called a state, the others were in no rush to follow. For example, CNN called California for Kerry almost immediately after the polls closed, but took its time to give Kerry Washington State. Fox, on the […]
The networks are loath to call enough states for President Bush to be declared the victor, but I will. Bush wins Nevada, Ohio and New Mexico (and very likely Iowa). Those of you who are still up at this ridiculous hour can now go to bed.
With the Fox News Channel call of Ohio for Bush, one co-worker has already inquired about working in Canada for the next four years. There aren't a lot of happy faces around here.
Just checked out CNN's election blog and there's a posting by Crossfire host/Kerry adviser Paul Begala regarding Florida: How on God's Earth do we not have absentee ballots counted in Florida? Jeb Bush and Glenda Hood -- the Republican secretary of state playing the part of Katherine Harris -- are making the state look like […]
I'm watching ABC News' coverage here in the newsroom -- calm before the storm here until California's polls close -- and ABC hasn't called Montana for Bush. Montana is a solid Bush state and I understand news executives being cautious, but as soon as the polls closed at 7 p.m. PST, the AP sent out […]
I've been reading Drudge, National Review, Instapundit and all sorts of other blogs and news sites for the past couple of hours -- along with flipping from news channel to news channel. Frankly I'm sick of it. Exit polls are meaningless and often inaccurate. As the returns start to come in tonight I would hope […]
While the vast majority of voters nationwide will likely have few problems casting their votes, it should come as no surprise that across the blogosphere there horror stories of what some people are having to go through. Blogger Blackfive spent 3 1/2 hours trying to cast his ballot in Chicago. It appears as though the […]
Just got back from my polling place. No line. There were about 5 other people voting when I arrived. They once again asked me for ID, which happens to be illegal in California. I declined to show them my ID -- just to be a contrary cuss. They didn't push it. After California's corrupt secretary […]
Last year left-wing loony cartoonist/columnist Ted Rall predicted that tomorrow's election wouldn't occur as dictator-for-life George W. Bush moved to take over the government and institute some sort of theocracy. Well, having failed at that prediction, Rall actually believes that President Bush will win re-election tomorrow. Ted Rall, editorial cartoonist for Universal Press Syndicate: Bush […]
I'm going to have to agree with Michael Totten on this one. F911, INDEED. Most of us who have seen or read a transcript of Osama bin Laden's new video noticed how much the reconstructed jihadist's rhetoric has in common with Michael Moore's. Moore noticed, as well. From his Web site: There he was, OBL, […]
