KERRY PANIC BEGINS:
Having believed the exit polls the Kerry campaign was pimp walking around the networks today saying the voting was going well enough that there'd be no need for legal challenges, but as they watch it all melt down they just turned the ACLU loose on Jeb.

I wouldn't be so confident. The tide seems to be turning against President Bush in the upper MidWest, after initially looking good. I can't believe Bush lost so badly in PA. As She Who Is Perfect In All Ways says, it's all down to Ohio now and the Kerry campaign has achieved late polling with the bussing in of "voters".

Yes, the margins in every state in the upper midwest are a little surprising, though I have no idea whence those votes come in their respective states. Perhaps Bush strongholds haven't been counted yet. Perhaps. WI and IA look possible, MN and probably MI are out of reach unless there are substantial Bush votes yet to be counted...nailbiting time.

For a state that was alledgedly in play, he did.
Of course, it wasn't as bad as Washington, D.C.
It's time for me to crash out, but Bush could still win without Ohio if he gets IA, WI, NM and AK. I would dearly enjoy Bush getting those states and watching Kerry pursue a pointless legal exercise in OH, further damaging the Democratic Party.
