Your wish is granted. You have two wishes left. May I suggest "Ohio" and "Florida"?

C'mon John!

Not if Ben uses his last two wishes for Kerry to take them. His first wish worked on California. :-*

Looks like it will be four more years, weird wild day, lets hope there will be some healing and moving forward together instead of the endless partisan bickering that has marked the last 2+ years. 

It's sad to me that the patriotism and unity that we all palpatably felt post 9/11 has evaporated to the same point where I feel we are at the same point as what the country was in 11/00.  I guess what I hope for is a fresh start.  I don't think its going to happen, but that's my wish (can I have a wish Deanpaul?)

Yeah, I'm American. Today. Based on results at this hour, moving to Canada is looking better and better minute by minute.

I got the joke.

Ben's holding all the wish cards right now. It would appear he didn't use them on "Ohio" or "Florida".

According to the Kerry camp, they're not conceeding Ohio yet.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5651972/

There are 250,000 uncounted votes from a highly democratic county there, Kerry needs 160,000 of those to take the lead. Only 91% of Ohio is reporting.

Then there are the provisional and overseas ballots... This may turn out to be a long week. I'm not going anywhere.

I usually steer clear of political threads, and politics in general, but I really liked Scott's point here.  The reason politics bother me so much is because of all of the endless partisan bickering.  It doesn't seem like these elections, the offices, etc. are even about working toward making us a better country anymore, its just about name calling, and berating whoever we do happen to elect.  Fighting with each other gets us nowhere, and its too bad it has come to that.  Whoever ends up winning, we should be behind them.  They are our president, like it or not.  Anyways, don't want to get winded on this, but nice point Scott.

Yeah, if this drags on much longer it will only make things worse around here... I agree with ya Scott and Brian.  Hard to believe that we are basically right back where we were in 2000, only this time it's Ohio not Florida.

I hope in 2008 we go back to one of those elections where one guy gets his ass handed to him and there is NO question who's the boss (a-la Reagan 1984).  One of those elections where by 8pm Pacific one guy is ready to concede becuase he's losing by 200 electoral votes.
