I want to go to bed, but I don't want to wake up in the morning & find something happened in that 3%. That would Suck!

HA! Top that. :evilgrin:

15. You're right. If they can kill off the Clark/Edwards contingent,
make our heads explode (boom!), they're halfway there.

Those bastards!

7. The Bums won't announce it because they don't
want us to turn the TV off and go to bed.
Actually it is probably because they are counting the hand written ballots.

9. I saw tonight that they won't announce it until the secretary of state
certifies it because the race was so close. I would just feel better if I saw the 99% counted before I went to bed.

13. Are you sure? Or are you playing with us? Don't play with us...
we're fragile.

Please tell me I don't have to try to sleep on pins and needles.
That's worse than a bed of nails.

21. Absentee would be good for Dean
If they were cast before Iowa. Just a thought to further titilate and drive folks nuts. :D

Oh, and Dean won in the area right over the river from me by around 15%. I notice in the towns that are close to Vermont, where Dean is best known for his record as governor, he blew Kerry away by double digits.

23. Now that was corny
Dean has far more African American endorsements and supporters than Kerry does. Oh, and Dean isn't the one saying "we don't need the south"...that would be Kerry.
