CNN is saying bush plans to declare victory
BEFORE KERRY CONCEDES.
This is unheard of!
Can you expect anything different from the DESPOTIC RADICAL RIGHT WING PRESIDENT?
You think he was ARROGANT and DEADLY DANGEROUS in his first term?
Now, watch out now that he thinks he has a MANDATE.
Foolish, silly, American voters.
You have dug your own graves.

Why not declare Victory?
He has won or are you still in denial???
Ohio is still CONTESTED.
Kerry is flying over planefuls of LAWYERS as we speak.
It is unheard of to declare victory when the challenger has NOT CONCEDED.
If bush was a decent man, he would wait for a concession before declaring victory.

The first signs that the Diebold-made system in Volusia County was malfunctioning came early on election night, when the central ballot-counting computer showed a Socialist Party candidate receiving more than 9,000 votes and Vice President Al Gore getting minus 19,000. Another 4,000 votes poured into the plus column for Bush that didn't belong there. Taken together, the massive swing seemed to indicate that Bush, not Gore, had won Florida and thus the White House. Election officials restarted the machine, and expressed confidence in the eventual results, which showed Gore beating Bush by 97,063 votes to 82,214. After the recount, Gore picked up 250 votes, while Bush picked up 154. But the erroneous numbers had already been sent to the media.
Harris has posted a series of internal Diebold memos relating to the Volusia County miscount on her website, blackboxvoting.com. One memo from Lana Hires of Global Election Systems, now part of Diebold, complains, "I need some answers! Our department is being audited by the County. I have been waiting for someone to give me an explanation as to why Precinct 216 gave Al Gore a minus 16,022 [votes] when it was uploaded." Another, from Talbot Ireland, Senior VP of Research and Development for Diebold, refers to key "replacement" votes in Volusia County as "unauthorized."
Harris has also posted a post-mortem by CBS detailing how the network managed to call Volusia County for Bush early in the morning. The report states: "Had it not been for these [computer] errors, the CBS News call for Bush at 2:17:52 AM would not have been made." As Harris notes, the 20,000-vote error shifted the momentum of the news reporting and nearly led Gore to concede.
What's particularly troubling, Harris says, is that the errors were caught only because an alert poll monitor noticed Gore's vote count going down through the evening, which of course is impossible. Diebold blamed the bizarre swing on a "faulty memory chip," which Harris claims is simply not credible. The whole episode, she contends, could easily have been consciously programmed by someone with a partisan agenda. Such claims might seem far-fetched, were it not for the fact that a cadre of computer scientists showed a year ago that the software running Diebold's new machines can be hacked with relative ease.

There are LOTS of punch cards used in Ohio.
Time for a RECOUNT?
Hanging shads, here we come.
We didn't get our fill in 2000.

Bush is ahead in Ohio by 135,000 votes, unfortunitly for bush he definitely needs Ohio,
Who ever win Ohio wins the election…
There are 250,000 uncounted provisional ballets and under state law these can not be counted for 11 days!!!!
So we’ve got 11 days of this, my prediction is bush wins.
I really don’t think Bush can Call a victory, after the 2000 debacle it will only give Michael Moore et al more doc-u-soap footage and I really think bush wants to win “properly” this time. Plus Bush has won the popular vote but can he the Evs?

If Kerry was any sort of man, if Kerry was good or kind or decent, he would concede victory because it is impossible for him to win and he is hurting the country, again, by refusing to do so.
He has now revealed his true character. He is a man who would say anything or do anything, no matter how lowdown, to be President, and now he is proving it.
Go get your lawyer JFK the lesser, but you will never be President!
Thaiquila, you are just like your candidate. When you get your just deserts, turn hateful. It is reassuring to see how low you sink in defeat. Some people might have taken all your nutty rhetoric seriously.
By the way, Bush's people have been assured that he has won and have already declared victory.
Long live our President George W. Bush!

Good one Boon!
I wonder... Is she really singing or putting up new drapes?
The whole planet is watching. It may be a good idea for the winner to wait for the official announcement.
