14. I'd advise going to bed. There's only like 13 people there.

We all expect them to vote shrub 13-0. If they vote shrub 9-4...who cares? Get your sleep tonight, cause you're going to be up LATE tomorrow night for sure!!!!

13. ABC News Now Just Cut Away!!!!

They're running something local...right as they were starting to tabulate the votes! :argh:

I had to tune over to C-SPAN and watch the end of the Bunnypants Bubble Tour. My favorite line "tomorrow the momentum in the election begins here". If that doesn't tell you how bad things are in Roveland, nothing does.

Please let us know the results...I've got a fiver on the results.

40. 7.7% improvement over 2000...

Now, if we can keep that up across the country, we should have an easy victory with around 52% of the popular vote.

50. I think it's more like a 30% increase

Al Gore only got 18.5% of the Dixville Notch vote in 2000, Kerry just got 48.4% of the vote.

51. I'm thanking Gen. Clark for this one.

Kerry too, don't get me wrong. But Wes met with those on the "other side" and reasoned with them until they came around, back in January. They've had their eyes open ever since.
