why are people panicking?

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

Bush hasn't one a single state he didn't win last time, and looks to be in trouble in Ohio and New Hampshire.

1. Hell yea!!! We are looking good

Don't get down now.

[InternalScrutinizer]

2. It's natural to worry right now as numbers fluctuate

But there's nothing one can do til it's all over or, at least, moved on to the next stage...

[Bush-bin-Lyin]

3. Because

We should have won a traditionally red state by now.

[InternalScrutinizer]

6. I would have thought so but I'll take FL and OH

and give them all the rest of the traditional red states ;)

4. Bush is ahead in Ohio.

12. go to the county breakdown

the counties with large populations and large Kerry numbers haven't reported as a high as a percentage as the small counties that are heavily for Bush. Be encouraged.

[TankLV]

23. Don't believe the hype.

My sister is in Dayton - she says the stations are reporting a slight Kerry lead + too close to call.

Polls are PACKED - polling to stay open till past midnite - just announced!

Ohio is still very much with us.

[Smacker]

5. Because it looked like a Kerry landslide

and although it could happen, it's slow reporting. And nobody trusts the Bushwackers and their electoral ethics.

7. Rural votes are in... give it some time people!

[Nadeaufan17]

14. Columbus

Innercity Columbus still have people voting right now, might not be done until after midnight. Also they are only reporting 10% out of the highest dem county in the state (Cyahoga/Cleveland).

[JennC]

19. Exactly!! We have room to twitch : )

[AlamoDemoc]

8. I agree....we shouldn't be worried about the red states

We still have OH, FL, PA, WI, NM, AR, NV, NH, HI...and not to mention NY and CA yet to report


WE WILL WIN...no doubt about it

[LastKnight]

9. ill panic if bush maintains his lead

when the last state reports in. only then.

look at the polls and state predictions (especially zogby's) the states that are going bush where EXPECTED to go bush. have courage my friends.

10. Good point.

It is a bit agonizing though, waiting for those key Kerry state victories to roll in.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

11. Because they don't have the inner strength to go with the flow....

...and they see the sky falling every day in the world in which they live.

[MIMIC]

15. Jesus Christ, I'm so freaking nervous

[BigMcLargehuge]

13. NH? Nah

Kerry will carry NH... if he's still at 51% with 60% reporting...

[rocketdem]

16. Because there's too much damn red.

No, I'm not panicking. But...

This makes me long for the good old days, 1992, 1996.

[DianeG5385]

17. Because we are so afraid for our country!!!

We have to win this election! If we don't, this country up up ***t creek and I ain't kiddin'!. The fate of the world is in our hands and we can't fail them.

[wabeewoman]

18. Because

I could be wrong about Kerry winning and the thought of 4 more years of bush just makes me hugely depressed! And I don't trust them not to steal it. And I'm not a patient person!!!

[Lorien]

20. Hopeful news from my dad!!

His girlfriend's brother has been the editor of some major newspapers and is very well connected in Washington (for instance; says he know who killed Kennedy, but won't tell anyone). Three days ago, he stopped by his sister's home on his way to a nine day Kerry victory party in DC. He seemed to have NO DOUBT that Kerry would win. He knows things we don't, so that gives me a bit of hope!

(And no, I won't tell you which papers)!

[PaDem]

21. Where are you getting your Ohio numbers?

The numbers are not good......at all.

[kcr]

22. Becasue we are losing OH and FL and possibly NH

If we don't win those,then it doesn't matter
