its not about 2 points, its about bush having 100,000 votes more in ohio (FOR WHATEVER REASON)
if all remaining votes are for kerry, he has won...

Bush: 254
Kerry: 252

However, it comes to down to the state of Ohio. In which we are supposed to belive that Bush is clearly in the lead by 135,000 votes. We are also supposed to belive that there is only 145,000 votes left in Ohio to count, which means pretty much all of them have to be for Kerry. Which we all doubt, Fair enough to say Bush has won the Election (Abc & MSNBC, Republicant Pary .. have said he has won) ... however, its not official but its not over till Democrats Conceed or the state of Ohio official anounce the state winner.

Shame, because i think Bush has cheated. However, what do i know i live in England. Well we can expect more Terrorism from Bush's Arabic friends, ( ffs Bush, put us all in danger) ... +.. bah

ffs...

Lets hope Abc Republican & MSNBC were/are bluffing.

These are only projected results. Here's hoping the exit polls are completely fubarred (I'm looking at Florida here).

It does look like Bush has won though. Sad day indeed.

Edit: Kerry just conceded. :(

Votes were already counted in Ohio i believe, the democrats were trying to make a recount, i think?

Americans are not deep thinkers in general. Americans buy way too much at face value. Everything is spun into a label and people vote based on spin, rather than intelligent thought. The piss poor media doesn't help.

No, the US election system doesn't work like that. They don't do anything stupid like waiting till all the votes have been counted, how dumb would that be? :p

Instead they compare exit poll results with the ongoing vote count and if they find enough correlation to suggest a win for one side or another, that state is then called in their favour.

Most states haven't actually declared a result. Kerry has conceded anyway, so it's all academic now.

Either, Bush has cheated again, or Americans are stupid. Apparently ive heard, Democrats are minimal on money, and republicans are spending loads on advertising before the campaign.

Kerry has conceded?

Edit: o yeah he has.. ffs

I know it works like that but i thought Ohio was already counted, coz it says that 100% precincts reporting in there, but i don't know if thats it.

EDIT: Marijuana decriminalization did not pass in Alaska, pffff. ;)
