    Wisconcin for Kerry, Mitchigan for Kerry But he must win Ohio too. Nader has nearly 1% of vote in Wisconcin and he wont stop Kerry.

    56 million votes to 52 million in the popular vote. So what happened to the recruitment drive? The Ohio vote could last for days, they'll have to go through the provisonal papers I'd say.

    Apparently Bush is getting ready to come out soon and announce his victory, without waiting for Kerry to concede defeat (if thats even gonna be the case).

    Can Nader off-load his votes or form a coalition of sorts with Kerry?

    Yea he hasn't won yet at all. So he shouldn't be declaring it. Democrats are right, everyones vote should be counted even if it means Bush gets more votes.

    Kinda symtomatic though of the way things are going...
    Again on CNN I've just seen Senator Tom Daschle outgoing Democrat minority leader in the senate losing his seat in South Dakota.
    Or rather just about losing it with 99% counted and his opponent declaring victory.

    I voted for Kerry but I definitely wouldn't have voted for Hillary. The democrats need to find a candidate with mainstream appeal. Hillary would, in some ways, be the worst possible candidate they could pick.

    Doesn't look like its over for a few weeks yet, not if the provisional and absentee ballots are counted.

    No it's not. While it would unusual for Kerry to swing the state, there are only (just over) 100,000 votes in it. Sounds like a lot, but there are still around 1/4 of a million votes left to count, and possibly more.
    I'm not being unrealistic, I know Kerry will be lucky to win, but its not over just yet.

    So basicly democrats would need roughly 75% of the total absentee ballot. Probably not too likely if either a) the Democrats were also blocking voters or b) any sizeable amount of the blocks are upheld.
