Seeing a lotta gloom and doom on the friendslist...

Hey folks, it ain't over till the fat lady sings.

ETA: Ohio is not called yet, for very good reason. The polls that had to remain open late were in the heavily Democratic north. That's where the flood of people were who stood in line for 9 hours to vote. Those are the votes that haven't been counted.

It's similar to Pennsylvania, which leaned Bush as the lower population outer counties were counted, but swung back to Kerry once Philadelphia was counted.

I'm in PA, and as far as I know the results were never favoring Bush. On our local news, the first results I saw showed Kerry with 66% and Bush with 33%. His lead actually shrank as the night went on. Thank god he did manage to pull the state.

Not saying that has any impact on how things are going to shake out in Ohio. Just a report from someone on the ground, as it were.
