Kerry totally replenishes health, duh. That's the Jim McGreevy method, not the Kerry method.

hasn't mike covered this already? The Absentee votes would go to Bush anyways. It's all moot. WE know that Bush won Florida. So it's 24(?)-199. I'm not sure what's the second digit is for Florida but it's that right now. 246 for Bush. He needs to pick up 24 more EVs. States he could do it with- Alaska (3) Hawaii (4) Iowa (7) Maine Congressional District (1) Michigan (17) Minnesota (10) Nevada (5) New Hampshire (4) New Mexico (4?) Wisconsin (10) The best chances appear to be Alaska, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Iowa, which would give him 271. Ya forgot OH. -=Mike I'm going on the (somewhat safe) assumption that Ohio will be subject to lawsuits.

Can we look forward to Kerry as an itenerant college professor? Score! When does Kerry's term as senator end? Not soon enough... 2008, IIRC.

Kerry would have to get about 90% of the absentee ballots and any provisional ballots to win the state. Thus, it's fairly safe to call it for Bush... FINALLY.

With 90% of the vote reported in the Louisiana Senate race, it appears that David Vitter should pick up the 50% of the vote he needs to win the seat outright and become the state's first Republican senator since Reconstruction.

Someone called Colorado for Bush, as it's listed as such on Real Clear Politics.

If Obama had any experience, he'd have been the candidate... That's why a bunch of Dems are creaming themselves thinking of Edwards-Obama in 2008.

Someone needs to send Keyes to that small desert island where we sent Gary Condit after the 2002 House elections...

It's that last 7% of the vote... If those are precincts in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, etc., then this could be a LONG night.

FUCK! I hate that idiot. Screw him. -=Mike I don't like Spector much either but I want to get closer to the magic number of 60 Republican senators. At that point, Frist and the other Republicans can tell the Democrats to fuck off if they try to filibuster votes that will go against them.

Mel Martinez is up by 1% in the Florida Senate race with 92% of the vote counted. That would be another Republican pickup, as that seat used to belong to a high-ranking Democrat.

Good: Spector's been declared the winner of the Pennsylvania Senate seat. Bad: That cunt Patty Murray is projected to retain in Washington. (She made a bunch of pro-OBL statements at one point)

Arlen Spector has finally taken the lead in the Pennsylvania Senate race... he's up by 10,000 votes (1%) with 35% of the vote remaining.

The Republicans were expected, in a worst case, to pick up 2 net seats. That was based on the expectation that they'd lose Illinois to Barack Obama as well as probably losing Colorado to Ken Salazar and Alaska to Knowles. However, the good turnout for Bush across the country could pull Pete Coors into the Senate in Colorado and help Lisa Murkowski retain in Alaska. That would mean ONE loss with a high chance of gains in South Carolina (done), North Carolina (done), Louisiana (Vitter is at 53% right now, so it depends on the percentage), Florida (deadlocked at 50-50) and South Dakota (Daschle-Thune is VERY close). The Republicans could get a net gain of 5-6 seats, which would be damn near incredible and guarantee they control the Senate for about 4-6 more years.

?!? Wisconsin's Senate seat is projected for Russ Feingold (of McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform infamy) yet he's only up 51-49. Could we see an unexpected Dem loss here?

With about 70% reporting, David Vitter has about 53% in Louisiana. He's still in danger of a runoff though... ESPECIALLY if there's a late charge of Chris John votes from Orleans Parish that takes him to 49.99999%.

DU is your "proof"? -=Mike The only proof DU should provide is for committing someone to an asylum...

Arizona has been called for Bush.

Hoeffel-Spector has tightened up to a 49-47% race in Hoeffel's favor with 59% reporting. The Bush-Kerry race there is still about 40-60% in Kerry's favor though.

New Haaampshaaah is only slightly clsoer than it was in 2000... Bush won by about 3000 at the time. It's still a bigger gap than New Mexico was, though, as New Mexico was about a 350 vote difference.

The Dems would immediately put Hillary Clinton up as their top candidate in 2008, although they're going to go through some SERIOUS tantrums due to losing the Presidential race again as well as losing ground in the Senate, including the likely loss of Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota. Considering Hillary's skeletons (both exposed and hidden), I don't think she'll make it through the 2008 primaries. Someone's going to bring up her questionable law practices (Whitewater, etc.) as well as some personal issues she has. (Example- I hear that one of Hillary's "friends" got quite a few promotions in the military for reasons other than her merits)

They were talking about "Bunning's conduct" on CNN...what did he do? He seemed to have lost his mind a few weeks back. Was acting a little loony. -=Mike 1. Compared his opponent's appearance to one of Saddam Hussein's sons 2. Instead of appearing in person at the debate, he appeared via satellite from DC and, contrary to rules, used a teleprompter to do his opening and closing statements.

The voting barons of Little Havana haven't turned in the graveyard vote yet.

Ah... that explains it. However, that last Maine vote is still out there.
