Realistically, how is Ohio looking?

[liberalpragmatist]

Without it I see Kerry losing by a heartbreaking 274-264 margin even if he ends up winning the national popular vote (quite possible given his huge margins in the NE and presumably the West Coast).

So realistically can we take Ohio? We're 126,000 votes down with 25% of precincts still unreported.

2. not good. this may be over.

3. We should be winning it

but if we don't and Kerry wins NM, Hawaii and Nevada, then it's a 269 tie.
I think they are stealing Ohio and I can't believe the Florida returns. They are nowhere near the exit polls, and some people are depending on absentee votes to save us.

5. I am stunned its over

We get what we deserve. I don't want Kerry losing the popular vote and winning Ohio. That would drive me crazy.

4. We aren't going to make up that deficit.

I don't like it either, but that's reality.

6. not good at all

7. i dont want to admit it but we're down 140k with 76% in

i knew the fix was going to be in OH and FLA, but was hoping that GOTV would be enough to counteract it...it was going to be harder in FLA with jebco as entrenched as they are...but OH has really hurt and dissappointed me...flame away if you must

8. Really bad

Sadly it looks like we've lost it all.
Might as well begin preparing for the downfall of America, the final times of the "decline of the west."
