VABills Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 It is nationally a statistical tie. Looks like Bush loses Ohio, according to them but takes Pennsylvania by a fair margin. Overall they seem to show Bush winning the electoral college with about 280 or so votes. http://www.gallup.com/election2004/showdown/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 IT DOESN'T MATTER. There is no accurate way to gauge what is going on right now. DID WE LEARN NOTHING 4 YEARS AGO?

Is it too much to ask to simply wait until the polls close and all votes have been counted before announcing results? 97311[/snapback] One problem is that the media is in it for the $$$..it increases viewership. Considering that after several years of idiocies like "Survivor", American Idol", and "The Apprentice", a goodly portion of the voting public acts like a drunken Roman at the Coliseum giving a thumbs up or down. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOGS!!! How anyone can believe the numbers coming from a BLOG is beyond me, but... On a side note, I think the networks are frothing at the mouth to put this stevestojan out there, but are so wary of being burned again....
