Florida is looking good. Most of those returns should be from the Florida peninsula which is in the eastern time zone and is more liberal. The Florida panhandle is in the central time zone and has historically been MUCH more conservative. Those votes should be coming in a little later. So far Bush has a substantial lead (ten percent) and it should hold up.

Florida is looking good but keep in mine they arent reporting in Miami yet.

On that Florida site, if you click on US President, it gives the break down by county. None of the big Gold Coast counties have reported yet. Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach. When these guys come in, the numbers will change quickly.

I read your "literal" interpretation of rhetoric, the political interpretation refers to making long winded speeches in hopes of changing someone's vote. Am I telling you who to vote for? Most important, don't you think it's a little too late to ask for your change of vote? I don't think so; however, I did asked you to tell me what's going on in your state. Geez, I hate it when I ask someone to give an honest response to a request.

I didn't say a word about changing a vote or anything about voting at all for that matter. I was merely pointing out that your definition is wrong, and still is! Rhetoric comes in short and long speeches, and can be performed in a single sentence. It has absolutely nothing to do with the length of the words being delivered.

Jimmy, I didn't say that your defintion of rhetoric isn't wrong, I said that your rhetoric is taking attention off my agenda; all I wanted to know is what going on in your state, that's it. Explain to me how I can ask for this without implying, by your definition, rhetoric?

 

[rtwngAvngr]

You said that MY rhetoric is taking attention off your agenda? Did I miss a post somewhere? Again, I was posting to point out that rhetoric need not be a long winded speech.

You want an update from NY? It will go to Kerry. But I could have told you that last week. Long lines at most places. The school next to my work was jammed at about 10am this morning with a line of cars about 1/2 mile long to park in the lot.

"You got your rhetoric all over my agenda."
"Well, you got your agenda all over my rhetoric"

TWO GREAT TASTES THAT TASTE GREAT TOGETHER!

 

[Zhukov]

This is based on nothing more than the FOXNEWS ticker, but with 39% reporting Pres. Bush is doing well as is Republican Senate hopefull Martinez.

Thank you. Oh by the way, the word "check" means to control, not to stop.

 

[Kentucky]

Incumbant Republican Senator Bunning, behind big all night in a looming upset, is now barely ahead with 92% of precincts reporting. Current lead is 0.8%. May avoid a Democrat pickup here after all.

 

[Zhukov]

After trailing, at about 20% reporting Bush now leads OH with around 52%.


Scratch this, now it says only 6% reporting in; I must be seeing stuff.
