[Master Capper]

It's looking like the books ran a reverse on all of us with the Kerry odds as he is getting killed 59% to 42% in Florida

 

[vinnie]

Took Bush @ +260

If I have to put up with this clown for four more years why not make some money on it. This one bet I will be happy to lose.

MC--- looks like Bunning is biting dust in Ky from our previous discussion---ran "very" negative campaign and is repeaping the aftermath.

where did you get that?

 

[Master Capper]

vinnie,

on him as well and I agree with you it would be the best money I could lose

dogs,

sort of thought that would happen.


Bush may get beat pretty well in Ohio they are reporting that the newly registered came out in droves today and exit polls have Kerry at 4-7%. Big thing on exit polls is the economy

Where in the world are you seeing that?

 

[Master Capper]

Kosar,

go to http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/20041102_SUM_PRE.html minute by minute updates, Kerry has now cut the lead to 56% to 43%

Master Capper

Take a look at Ohio on that site. Says BUSH is up 2%. What is your opinion? So as of now is Bush leading FL and Ohio? I wonder why the MEDIA channels are not reporting this?

 

[Dr Feelgood]

and wonder why odds for Kerry keep creepng up at -315 now...

 

[Master Capper]

Latest CNN projections indicate Bush will win Alabama, Tennessee, and Oklahoma, and Kerry will win New Jersey, Illinois, D.C., Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Massachusetts

Kerry up 77 tp Bush 63

Popular Vote Bush 57 Kerry 44

Florida the key state Bush up 54-44

 

[Scott4USC]

I was real worried until I saw that site and their updated polls. The MEDIA seems to not mention how Bush is currently leading in FL and Ohio. Then you have the books with huge Kerry odds.

Gonna be a very interesting night unless Bush takes Ohio and FL then its over!

Ohio

Office Candidate Party Votes % Of Votes
President/Vice President
Bush, George W. Republican 34,058 51.75%
Kerry, John F. Democratic 31,485 47.84%

FL
Bush 754,095 54.9%
Kerry 608,669 44.3%

At 54-44 now. I'll be shocked if it's more than a 3 point win either way. Don't forget that the west coast of florida and the rural areas will be much quicker to report because there are few challenges, etc...and that will be the republican voters.

The east coast of the state will lag in their results . I still think this state is up for grabs.

 

[Master Capper]

Scott,

here are the latest Ohio results, http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/OH/

Scott, local news is saying that Toledo, Cleveland, Youngstown and Akron had record turnouts of new voters whom on exit polls went for Kerry by 56-44 and absetee ballots have Kerry at 60%

 

[Scott4USC]

Bush ahead 52-46 over Kerry in ohio right now!

Why is the media not reporting these early results??????

Bush still up 10pts in FL. I think this would be newsworthy since Ohio and FL are the 2 most important states.

 

[Scott4USC]

Thanks Master Capper, that site is much faster updated. Ohio looks now more like Kerry according to that site.

 

[Scott4USC]

Actually both sites are completely different and reporting #'s from different county's.
