I had a CT scan this morning. Intravenous dyes, banana flavored barium, all the fun stuff. I should be glowing by 2:00 this afternoon.
Dear “President” Bush,
48% of American voters hated the previous four years enough to vote against you. Another 1% hated you enough to vote for Nader. Ya, you’re a genuine “uniter”. Over the next four years please try not to embarrass this country any more than you already have. “And that’s all I have to say about that.” – Forest Gump
Your vote means nothing.
If you live in New Mexico or Iowa this morning. Your states haven’t declared a presidential winner and it doesn’t matter when they do. I was wrong about New Mexico last night. Some guy’s uncounted, provisional ballot in Ohio means more to the countries political future than your official, counted vote. It’s quite amazing that something like 5 million people voted in Ohio. That’s a turnout.
Before CNN calls it…
Before the networks get to it – here ya go: The whole thing comes down to New Mexico.
Bush wins Alaska – 249…
Bush wins Ohio – 269…
New Mexico has 5 Electoral votes… 274
My projection for the final – Bush: 274 Kerry: 252 (mark the time 1:08 a.m.) Note: there is the possibility that Colorado could split their electoral votes.
Polls, Polls, Polls
electoral-vote.com has been a hot site this year. Andrew Tanenbaum (author of the Minix Operating System) put together this information using the top national daily polls every day.
Here are the top three points of deception that I feel could win or lose today’s election for Bush:
1. Voting against the incumbent unpatriotic.
2. A vote for Dubya is a vote for God.
3. The terrorists don’t want Dubya so you should.
If enough people buy this garbage, Bush is in again. If enough people think clearly and for themselves, Kerry’s our next President. We’ll know by this time tomorrow.
Bees
Connor made it through his first Halloween last night. He was a bumble bee and mommy was the Queen bee. We really couldn’t believe he kept the little hood on all night. It was 80 degrees so he sported his bee suit and diaper. We had a ton of kids come by the house. After going through $15 worth of candy we shut the door.
Carolina beat Miami Saturday
And that makes Carolina the only ACC team to beat the two big Florida titans in official conference games. Meanwhile NC State lost to a rather lackluster Clemson team. Since I don’t really pull heavily for either of these two teams I love being able to weigh my non-biased opinion: Amato’s team is over-hyped. All the State students and fans I know always have an excuse for States poor performance and will quickly place the blame on some other factor than Amato or a player.
Carolina fans on the other hand have come to expect their team to lose, and they usually don’t care. That seems to make a victory like the one over the Hurricanes even sweeter. But this year before the State fans can denounce the Carolina win as a fluke they must first explain their own loss to the Tarheels. John Bunting’s coaching career may have been saved by these wins.
