I guess that's why the Iowa electronic exchange priced this into the Kerry futures -- they've been climbing steadily throughout the day!

The town of Dixville Notch does political grandstanding. They did not take advantage of early voting there.

Instead:

"The town's entire voting population -- 11 registered Republicans, 2 registered Democrats and 13 independents -- gathered in the Ballot Room at the elegant Balsams resort on Monday evening before they could officially cast ballots at one minute past midnight."

What would be more interesting to "foreigners" is the archaic practice of registering your party allegiance on a registration card before you ever go to cast your vote.

Like forgive me I'm from Canada....so whats all this mean Kerry won? Is he the beast replacing the wounded beast?

Sorry for the dry laughs.... it all seems so staged to me. All of it. Like why was there just Kerry and BUsh to choose from?

WHat happened to Kucinich?

There wasn't just Kerry and Bush! In fact 1 person from Dixsville voted for Nader.

My ballot had 5 Choices for President, Kerry, Bush, Nader, Badnarik, and Petrouka.

Does the MEDIA only focus on Kerry and Bush? These two are Bay of Pigs.

And is the election over? Kerry is in?

I think this one is actually Kerry's.

It's WAY early, the lawyers haven't even been involved yet.

Thanks.
Cut and pasted the wrong name.
Fixed now.


BTW, yahoo is starting to post some numbers from some of the precints in Kentucky and Indiana.

They both show Bush up but there is only a small percentage of the precincts reporting right now.

No problem, just making sure our future president gets what's rightfully his!

Those states were pretty much a given for Bush anyways, it's the swing states he needs, if things keep up they way they are going in FL, OH, etc., it's over for Bush.

oohKAY....now I 'see'....

MSNBC reporting on TV....OHIO......going to.......

Too Close to Call

North Carolina--TOO CLOSE TO CALL!!!!

Virginia---still too close to call

Updated exits indicated Kerry's continuing lead.

Rodger, Roger.

Where do these people vote? Grandma's basement?

When states like Virginia are too close to call, you have to think this race is going to be much more competitive than predicted. It really looks like Kerry may pull this one out.
Anecdotal evidence from my polling place in Arizona: when I voted, at least 3/4 of the voters were VERY young..probably first time voters. I am predicting that young voters are voting in unprecedented numbers and may well tilt the election.
