2004 Presidential Election - Now It’s Over

 50 States + DCElectorate
Bush29274
Kerry19242
Total48516


Sure enough right after I leave for work Kerry goes and finally admits defeat and gives his concession speech.  Now it’s over folks!  Only Wisconsin, Iowa and New Mexico are left to report in as Nevada finally went to Bush giving him 274 which is enough to win. 

Man, it feels good knowing that Bush as won and this time he even got the majority vote!  So all you liberals can just keep your mouth shut.  There were no courts involved in making the final decision and GW got the popular vote.  It was a win fair and square.  Never mind the crap you guys pulled!

Things like stealing signs, slashing tires, making phony calls to people telling them to go to the wrong polling places, paying for new registrations with drugs, vandalizing and breaking in the GOP offices… I can go on and on!  For the group that claims to be all about peace and love you sure do get pretty violent and hateful!

I still love you though.  We conservatives ended up winning on our own merits even with all the dirty, rotten tricks you tried to pull.  Maybe just maybe you should take a look at the whole country, not just your fellow liberals and ask what they want.  The answer today is loud and clear!

George W. Bush

2004 Presidential Election - Not Quite Over

 50 States + DCElectorate
Bush28 269
Kerry19242
Total47511


Well sometime last night after I went to bed they decided that Ohio was going to Bush.  So here’s the numbers as of right now.  As long as all the states being counted stay where they are Bush wins.  You need 270 Electoral College votes to win and with 269 is all but guaranteed for Bush.

There are two possible outcomes.
1) Bush wins at least one more of the states currently not counted (Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin) in which he then has over 270 and is the winner.

2) Kerry wins the rest in which we get a 269/269 tie.  The tie-breaker vote is made in Congress.  In which case you have two things going for Bush.  First is that Republicans control Congress so there should be little doubt where the vote will be.  Second is that Bush does have the popular vote so Congress would feel great pressure from the public to cast the tie-breaker for the winner there.

Number one is the most likely outcome.  Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico are all leaning toward Bush right now so it’s very likely that at least one will end up being called for Bush.

The dems claim Ohio is the tossup right now but I disagree.  Ohio has gone to Bush and no number of absentee or provisional ballots are going to swing it the other way.
