I sense dread in Ohio and FL.
I knew they would tighten up.

It is very possible that they both coudl go for Bush it wil be close either way.

8. Many Blue collars vote for bush.
In Ohio I would wager the majority of UAW workers vote Bush.

The Guns, God & Gay issue voters get off work and vote in the evening. That is why it will tighten up.

15. My point is Ohio and FL wil tighten up.
I am a union worker and I know of countless union members, the ones who actually vote are singlr issue voters.

23. Work?
A good number of them don't have jobs anymore, but hey, that's Clinton's fault. The ones who do, will include a large number of shift workers, so the hours of those voters is spread out among the ones who voted on their way home, early this morning, before they went to work or after work, which would have been mid-afternoon. They aren't the 9 to 5 crowd.

Who knows when they're voting, but as an ex-Buckeye, I have faith in my homestate. Northern Ohio will pull it off for Kerry!!!

55. You guys must stop being so nasty to anyone
that expresses a different opinion. Bush is already ahead in EV projections 34 -3, so get a grip already. Georgia, KY, and IN went for Bush! Your funky hate-filled attitude makes it harder on those of us who are on pins and needles. I come here for fellowship, not stupid childish accusations. Geez.

That means a big win for Kerry in those states... oh yeah...

52. KPFK reporter in FL said that there are long lines still.
There are too few voting stations and a HUGE turnout is what "Greg" saw in FL. So it will take a while after the polls close to get the count accurately.

30. Great news from low posters
Nothing so comforting as to hear the gloom talk from someone who snuck on here this year and echoed by someone with three posts.

Sayonara time.

38. C'mon DU'ers ... cut it out please ...
let's not start a "snob war" between posters with high and low post counts ...

i understand the base poster's concerns about Ohio and Florida ... however things go, those two states are going to be very close ...

let's not start sniping at each other ...

Besides, there is a three hour line in Cincinatti, OH.

facts from the tbo.com website of results as they come in precinct by precinct in Florida. :shrug:
