[Election] The Big Show

There have been all kinds of other things going on in my life and in the world.
But all I can think about is the US election.
The very first polls close at midnight UK time, and the big swing state polls don’t close until three or four a.m. I am still considering staying up all night.
I think I’ll just get up real early. That’s the ticket.
I’m not nervous about the winner. I’m confident it’s Kerry.
I’m nervous about the popular vote. I’m nervous about how much traction the Republican legal dogs will have to force the country through an unpleasant pit-fight in the aftermath. I’m nervous that somehow or other Bush and his sickening puppeteers will find a way to walk away with their heads held high.
I don’t just want them to lose – I want them and their entire mad project to be humiliated.
Cross fingers.

  1. It looks like your predictions are wrong Morgue. Looking at the BBCs election map it seems like Bush has got it. As I write he has 238 electoral college votes and Kerry has 188.
    Thats after 38 of the 51 states are in and it looks like Bush is winning by small margins in most of the undecided states.
    I am hoping for a miracle if just so that I don’t have to deal with the particular kind of smugness that Bush exudes all the time; it makes me want to slug him one.
    But it looks, at this stage, as if the world is well and truely going to screwed up by the Bush League.

  2. Ahh – I see the error of my ways.
    Kerry is going to win California and that will give him 55 votes which will put him of 243.
    Maybe it’s closer than I thought. Bush is gonna win Utah, but that’ll only give him 5.
    I guess I should wait until the heavily populated west coast finally does it’s thing…

  3. Ahh – I take it all back again.
    California has been counted already even though the votes aren’t all in.
    Apparently it all rests on Ohio which Bush is winning by a comfortable 3%
