[Russ]

SW,

It's the exit poll result, which is what everything else in this thread is.

Russ, NCNE

 

[konichiwa]

CNN still shows 121/119.

 

[Futuramatic]

Ummm... hwo he HECK does Maryland have that many electoral votes?!? I can't believe they have that many people...

 

[perry]

Yea, what's up with that.

MSN, CNN, MSNBC all slow.

ABCNews seems to be pretty fast, but I don't like their interface.

USAToday is behind on the results.

 

[Tripleshot]

I don't see Tenn in the Bush colomn. What are you reading Russ?

131-119 last check I saw. Bush leads (like I expected).

Drudge Report is reporting that Bush will win. They are also reporting that Hillary is going to be joining the Senate.

130-119 Bush ... woo hoo ... Bush took NC And I helped!!!! (remember the shake and bake commercial that was so annoying)

 

[konichiwa]

Russ, where'd you see that Gore lost TN? I don't see it on any of the sites (or the networks).

 

[perry]

With 1% reporting, Gore is up 50-49 in Tennessee according to MSNBC.

Make that 50-48 Gore with 4% reporting.

 

[somethingwitty]

Russ, by official, I meant where did you see that? I havent seen anything on TN yet

 

[Futuramatic]

Dear GOD!! popular vote at 8:20PM EST

Bush 54%
Gore 45%

And the electorals look that way too (to this point).

I am pumped! WOOHOO! Not necessarily about one or the other candidates, just the whole election in general. WOOHOO!

 

[Futuramatic]

Is everyone watching MSNBC?

Ohio looks like Bush... Bush campaign is jumping on NBC cause of their premature prediction, saying that they are dismissing the absentee votes and such...

 

[Adul]

Bush 114 9 54 %
Gore 113 8 45 %

 

[sweetrobin]

Please God let Bush win .. we dont need another blatant liar in the white house..

 

[somethingwitty]

I guess the jump from 121 to 130 by bush was alabama

 

[zippy]

sweetrobin, G-d has nothing to do with it.

 

[Adul]

CNN now estimates Al Gore has won Michigan, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware and the District of Columbia. CNN also estimates George W. Bush has picked up wins in North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Kansas. This puts Bush at 121 electoral votes, with Gore at 119. The candidates need 270 votes to win.

 

[DirkBelig]

OMFG. Bush has 54% and may lose the Electoral?!?:Q

Unfortunately, that's the rules of the game.

New York's gonna go Gore. No doubt about that.

 

[ICyourNipple]

Looks like we are taking one step closer to socialism tonight, and without a revolution, eventually communism.

 

[Napalm381]

Calm down Dirk, far too early to say anything definitive.

 

[Russ]

Here's a hint: The radio is updated much faster than any web site.
