New buzz: the election will not be decided in November
With all these vote registration irregularities in Ohio, Nevada, Florida, Pennsylvania...
The thing I kept hearing on the news yesterday was that the election was going to run well into December. Of course the whole thing is gonna end up with the Supremes again. Since most of them could barely even to put up a pretense of being fair last time, choosing to vote for their party's candidate rather than ruling based on the legal issues before them (all but two flip-flopped on their historical stands on the issues in Gore v Bush), the only real question we have to ask is whether any of the Bush Five have seen the light about what a moroon they put into the White House.

I wonder if Suitor has been lobbying Kennedy for the past four years. If not, maybe it's time to start.

3. It would have to be quite a convergence
The states that would be contested would have to be pretty close for results to be contested and those results would have to change the outcome of the EV.

If Kerry clearly wins PA and OH or FL, it would be improbable that enough other states would be close enough to change the national result. You'd need to reverse at least two states ...

4. Just means we're gonna have to hit 300 EVs.
If we get both Ohio and Florida, and 4 EVs from Colorado, that'll shut up the fucking Repukes.
