^ those numbers arent final!!!
Ohio, New Mexico, and Iowa ** havent ** reported their final results.
in all cases its very very close, with bush having a minor edge.
in Iowa and NM its a matter of just 20k votes

i know they still have to count all the absentee ballots and all that other crap but what's the chance that there's about 150,000 of them and they all voted for kerry?
Trauma-san:
^^ Usually when they announce a state, it's virtually impossible for the other party to win.
There's 250,000 provisional ballots in Ohio that need to be analyzed, one by one, to make sure they were correct. If you went to the polls, and you were in the wrong precint, they didn't think you could vote, or whatever... they let you cast a provisional ballot, which they'll analyze by hand afterwards, to see if it's valid.
Since this is the final state, out of respect for the voters of the state, they'll hold off on declaring a definitive victor until they have a better idea of the provisional ballots.
The problem with Kerry winning Ohio is, he'd have to win 195,000 of the 250,000 provisional ballots to win, and that's just not going to happen in a State where Bush won 52 or so percent of the popular vote.
Don Seer:
^ yeah for real..
seems like kerry wont concede until he has to.

"Under the headline "Good Morning, Mr. President," Germany's mass-circulation Bild daily covered its front page with a list of expectations that included "Catch Bin Laden and stop the terror," "Finally ensure peace in Iraq" and "Push down the oil price.""
LOL at germany stirring up trouble...
