Mars, Bitch
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be accurate. It's all I ask.
This will get the blogs talkin'
This will get the blogs talkin'
why does it say 252-252, with VA and PA too close to call?
catorce
Shrub will look just like during the goat reading...can't wait.
I love the smell of victory in the late afternoon!
FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH
YOUR FIRED YOU FUCKER
Interesting
Kerry Is So Close!!! THANKS ATRIOS, Great Blog!!!!!
This is Zogby's job. He does it very well.
Lord, give us the popular vote too,
Amen.
URANUS, BITCHES!
Yeeeeeeaaaahhhh!
Kerry you beautiful SOB!
To quote my man Ali G -
BOOYAKASHA!!!
Mr. Zogby has a few states messed up I believe. Bush will carry some that he gave to Kerry. This is ment to scare Bush supporters.
Which channel are you guys watching tonight? Just wondering.
Zogby comes around to my kind of thinking. Yes! Meanwhile at the Corner they moved into the denial phase.
dibs on the head of Karl Rove it'll make an excellent paper weight.

Holy crap. We might just do this.

I think it's time to open the champagne now. No need to go to the Adams Hotel after all.
Shy:
Are you for real? Look at the table at the top of Zogby.com. It's very clear, very colorful.
I won't believe it until I see it. I will hope it, and I I will be optimistic, but....
I've been tracking Ladrokes, the English bookmakers, site. A few minutes ago they were laying Bush 6/4, Kerry 1/2. It has just changed to Bush 2/1 Kerry 4/11.
Looking good
website at homepage
I believe it. Do you guys know of a prominent Republican blog that I can check out? I want to see what they're saying.
Just scoop out the liquified brains and boil it for 48 hours.
WTF does "mars, bitches" mean?
ps. did everyone VOTE today?
well, well, it seems America has finally woken up and is firing this son of a bitch back to his ranch in Texas ...
na na na na
na na na na
hey hey hey
good bye
na na na na
na na na na
hey hey hey
good bye
Yeah, Zogby is good. I'm surprised by that number though, because Zogby was VERY cautious earlier today.
This should freakout the Freepers but good!
I WANT to believe... is it too late to start a new faith-based initative?
"ps. did everyone VOTE today?"
Nope, three weeks ago via the mail....
people are out driving honking
and cheerrrringggg!!!!
Well, if things go as well tonight as it is predicted I want to be the first one to say that high on my list of things I'll be happy about is that we will never have to listen to or put up with that bitch Karen Hughes (aka Nurse Ratchet)again.
Did anyone notice that Zogby has Bush winning the popular vote 49.4 to Kerry's 49.?
I think it is obvious that every single pollster is going to be completely wrong in this election and then they will make some bs amends about how they could not predict such high turnout.
Here's my prediction, Kerry wins tonight, tomorrow there will be the first Kerry Admn scandal. Probably some Drudge number about how Kerry told Bush to f*ck himself during their phone call.
Someone call the Horse, because the media whores will be back and worse than ever for a Kerry administration.
Okay, who will be brave enough to see what's happening over at LGF or Free Republic? Who will take the most sadistic glee in their reaction?
MAAAAAAAAAARS, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!

Fuck bush, we're taking him OUT!

The Planets Have Made Up Their Mind: Kerry Wins
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Surveys in the United States may be showing the race for president as too close to call but top Indian astrologers say the planets have clearly made up their mind: John Kerry will win.
Planets governing President Bush are eclipsed and in an uncomfortable position, making his tenure controversial and his re-election bid unsuccessful, the soothsayers said on Friday, four days before the vote.
On the other hand, the planets of Democratic challenger Senator John Kerry were in the ascendant, ensuring him success in competitions.
"Saturn, which is the lord of health and fortune for President Bush, has been eclipsed by the Sun, which is unfortunate and gives him a clear defeat," Lachhman Das Madan, editor of a popular astrology magazine, told Reuters.
"Kerry will win," said Madan, who is also known as "the emperor of astrologers." "It is cosmic writ that George W. Bush cannot become president of United States again."
...not because Zogby is the final word.
Just because, well, it's champagne!
Dibs on Cheney's carcass. I want to start a new reef off the Jersey shore for the fishies. And Ann Coulter will make a good speed bump in my driveway!
LJ: they (LGF) are spinning the exit polls ("I’m not being Pollyannaish here; the race will be a close one. But I would simply caution against putting too much weigh on such early polls.") ("there are no valid exit polls in existence") and pumping yesterday's non-exit polls. Looks good for our side.
Did anyone has some spare fireworks for this night, just in case?
BTW, Zogby is definitely down for me. Bummer.
Pour it on! GOTV!

In all fairness, though, we'd be trashing the validity of exit polls if Zogby had Shrub with 311 EVs.
That being said, it's nice to see even a few moments of the neo-cons fretting over their chances. After 2002 they pretty much thought they could do anything...and they did.
voted today in heavily republican precinct in kansas.
no lines.
walked right in.
voted k/e.
walked out.
fuck bush.
sorry for the double post.
Go to the Corner and check out the flopsweat. Not that they're wrong to be dubious about exit polls, mind you. It sounds like their readers are howling with rage when they post exit poll results, even though they are trying to debunk them.
I need to save my schadenfreude for real returns, else I might run out (or wake up with a real hangover if this is all just a dream, and we end up in litigation for weeks).

And I, Brit Hume must also say goodnight, pack my bags and flee as well.
This is Sean Hannity, and I'm Ann Coulter, and we both must flee as well.

Dear George,
Now the tide is turning against you
And the cycle's almost complete
There's a movement in effect to take the top

'cause the poison in the field has killed the crop.
You're giving back nothing at all
You take and give nothing at all

I forgot - Does Atrios post the picture of Mars if we won or if we lost?
fuck bush.
elberto
now see that's my feeling, i already voted on the 18th, but i canvassed the polls around seminole co. fl. lots of bush/cheney stickers, signs. but not many voters.
Freerepublic.com has a dour face as well. ("There is Still Time... Call Swing State Voters If you are reading this now, you have no excuse to not call 15 voters in a swing stte. [sic.]") Poor freepers.

Miles,
Mars is a win
Kerry - 60%
Bush - 40%
That's been my gut feeling all along, and I hope my gut is right. I guess we'll see. If not, I need to get my gut callibrated. Nevertheless, these Zogby numbers are nice, because 60% of the electoral vote is 314.4, and he has Kerry at 311 (early prediction, of course). Captian, I believe that's Mars we see on the viewport...
Zogby Predicts Kerry
For someone who bashes big media, you are currently indistinguishable from them. Blogger, heal thyself!
and don't jinx us 
Just cast my first vote ever--for Kerry. There was absolutely no line around 4pm here in Ithaca. Just walked in, gave them my name, signed on a dotted line, and voted. In and out in under 5 minutes.
I so hope Zogby is accurate! Would prove beyond reasonable doubt that Americans are much more intelligent than Australians - re the results on 9 October.
Freerepublic.com has a dour face as well. ("There is Still Time... Call Swing State Voters If you are reading this now, you have no excuse to not call 15 voters in a swing stte. [sic.]") Poor freepers.
Ha. If they knew 15 people outside of their families, they'd be getting laid and be liberals.
Bush needs the beat down
Mr. Chimp, please concede right away.
Don't beg for some fucking replay.
You've been beat fair and square,
Like your asshole forebear.
Go to your "ranch" and pray for doomsday.

BAHAHAHA!!! You and me, angel!!
You have got to be kidding me. Apparently they're blaming this afternoon's slide in stock prices on all you evil liberal bloggers posting those exit poll results. If that's true it's no wonder our economy is such a mess.
Hey, 311-213 is pretty close to what I predicted last month.

Don't refresh the window after posting, sa, close it and reopen it from the Eschaton main page.

When this election is over, either the nation or Zogby will be finished.
It'll be Zogby with Drudge a close second.

I'm in Loveland, Colorado (a fairly conservative community) and I just received my list to start calling. Believe it or not, the list is down to only 34 of registered Democrats and Independents who haven't yet voted in 2 precincts.
I predict Colorado goes Kerry! Woo-hoo!
I will believe it when FOX calls it.
Until then I will sit here, and try to breathe.

There is a ridiculous rumor on the web that Kerry is ahead on exit polls...THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THIS!...This untrue rumor was started on the web by two internet gossip columnists and one of them now admits that her source is "not exactly trustworthy." No one knows who is winning right now---get out and vote! Please forward this to your email friends and help stop this fraud from being spread around the internet. Please do your duty and vote. Deserve victory!
You have been warned.

I think I might watch Fox news. It might be entertaining. Of course they'll call the election for Bush just like they did in 2000 while the other channels were calling it for Gore. We can't let them do that again.

Nope ... too greasy.
George Bush, handily picking up 211 Electoral Votes against John Kerry's 311 Electoral Votes. I certainly would not call this a landslide victory by any stretch....Carl Cameron, how are you at the Bush Campaign headquarters? What's the mood there? I'm sure they're all quite excited at the outcome Brit. Back to you.
Holy shit - is NBC is actually charting the country on the Rockafeller ice rink?
I love the media.

Oh such a perfect day....

lj,
seriously, it's still there on my link. maybe i can't get through or something.
i searched around and cant find the 311-prediction.
seriously, i want this to be for real.
I don't understand why Zogby is calling the popular vote for Bush, especially with at spread. It seems counterintuitive to say the least. Can anyone explain this thinking to me?

the stoned slacker vote will prevail. fuck bush.

BBC America is showing lines of hundreds of voters. Saying it is the highest turnout in over 40 years. I keep weeping.
BBC shows Bush voting:
"Watch the first lady stroke the president's hand in reassurance, touching and telling." Matt Fry BBC News
I don't understand why Zogby is calling the popular vote for Bush
he's not
With so many blogs going down and becoming unavailable, I see the need for coordination amongst blogs in the next likely heavy-use day.
For example, Atrios could arrange for readers to check his friends at First Draft in case Eschaton goes down.
Josh could arrange in advance for his readers to go to, I don't know, some smaller, underused blog that he relates to.
And so on.
Just a thought for future discussion.
Does anybody think that someone at Fox News will kill himself on air tonight? Because if so, I want to watch.
POLLS ARE MEANINGLESS
I don't care what the poll says, even if it says we're winning.
There is still time to go out and visit neighbors, drive them to the polls, talk them into voting for democracy instead of fascism.
Do not relent. Drive them into the sea. Kick them in the balls. Hit them with all the fucking furniture in the house. Crush them utterly, and make the Republicans understand, once and for all, that we will not tolerate fascism or theocracy in this country.
They are in panic mode over at Freeperville. (Free Republic)
Many of them talking about drinking to calm their frantic nerves.
So sad. . .no. . .it's not.
They are talking about Hannity's apparent breakdown and John Zogby and they now officially hate Tucker Carlson and Frank Luntz. Someone said it earlier and it appears to be true, they are eating their own.
THEY SHALL NOT PASS
I wonder how many votes Ralphie got? Think he will even break 1 per cent? Right now he is probably in some locked room screaming I AM THE KING OF AMERICA!!!!!
I'm chilling the Miller right now.
BUT I've read umpteen stories about voting machines that turned Kerry votes into Bush votes. What if that is happening all over? It could easily be part of the Diebold code. Then what?
Someone tell me I'm just paranoid.
btw... 2/1 is 33% Bush; 4/11 is 73% Kerry. The house will be taking from either side, so it looks like about a 30 Bush / 70 Kerry underlying odds. That's close to whoever said 28% Bush.

new thread up there (if you can see it, haloscan is evil)
sister fister:
Then perhaps I'm reading it wrong, what does "Zogby International Finds: Bush at 49.4%, Kerry at 49.1%" mean? I'm really hoping for the 311K-213B because that seems unassailable, so I was wondering if Zogby was backtracking.
I'm buck naked right now and convered in fire ants.
They are talking about Hannity's apparent breakdown
Ooooh, sounds good. What did Hannity do? I heard snippets of his show on my way home for lunch...I had hoped for some good moments, but didn't catch anything. Can you share?
CNN International just reported that Kerry is preparing to go to some place (didn't catch where) in an hour or hour and a half, where he hopes to gives his.....
VICTORY SPEECH
I don't know what Hannity said, because I can't even stand to listen to him, but someone at freeperville said he sounded like he was practically in tears!!!
I love itttttttttttt!
Which channels are you all watching tonight for your coverage?
I have followed your question with great interest, wondering if the resulting answers will give me a good reason to switch to C-Span -- the debates were SO lovely there -- as opposed to MSNBC, where there will be a great gnashing and wailing of teeth, 'cept for Olbermann, of course. (Thought I heard The Big O was gonna be on the team tonight, could be wrong.)
Just waking up here Wednesday morning... and this is what my eyes wanted to see!
Keep Getting Out The Vote Out West. Win those Senate and House seats. Beat Coors in Colorado!
edbub macushala - Never, never pop a champagne cork. Pop a cork from cider if you need to pop, but not champers. Ease a champagne cork out gently, twisting it til it gives way with the slightest of happy sighs.
I've already opened the second bottle. I find that I am smiling.
I don't know what Hannity said, because I can't even stand to listen to him, but someone at freeperville said he sounded like he was practically in tears!!!
Awesome. I heard him, and I think he voice was torqued, probably from screeching at Democrats for the past couple weeks.
Sean's a reasonably smart fellow, though, and he'll probably figure out that he can get better ratings by ranting from the outside than preaching from the inside. Look what Clinton did for Rush, after all.
Seriously, this is Brokaw's last night? Then we get the raccoon, Brian Williams? I did not know that.
Drudge: "tightening".
NRO: "we will win OH and FL"

Mac,
you are making me giggle. I would also watch Fox if I thought Brit Hume would smoke himself on air, but I have decided to watch CNN and Wolf Blitzer because Wolf is a whore who pretends to be unbiased.
I shall get great pleasure watching him announce a Kerry victory.
Or should I watch Chris Matthews on MSNBC have to spin a Kerry win???
Damn, I can't decide.
The Hume thing would be good tho. . .
Steve S:
Yes, amazing how the Amish and Mennonites are now such a HUGE voting bloc these days.

new post...up above!
Most people don't realize it, but if the vote goes to a tie, and the Supreme Court is tied (due to sick Rehnquist), the decision is made by a guy working in D.C.'s Federal Triangle Metro station named Ed.
Holy shit - is NBC is actually charting the country on the Rockafeller ice rink?
Yup. The wife works over at 30 Rock. She has been telling me, for days, how wild looking it is.
I don't understand why Zogby is calling the popular vote for Bush, especially with at spread. It seems counterintuitive to say the least. Can anyone explain this thinking to me?
awab
He is calling it because the president is a MORON and any IDIOT can see it -- its a shame we even have to go through this charade. It would have been "neater" to have simply impeached the bastard!
Then perhaps I'm reading it wrong,
yup.
what does "Zogby International Finds: Bush at 49.4%, Kerry at 49.1%" mean?
I don't know, but it certainly doesn't mean that Zogby is calling the popular vote for bush. Check out the MOE for the poll.
You could say that Zogby is predicting the election in Kerry's favor, because of the electoral vote margin that he predicts for Kerry. However, with a .3% difference on a poll with a 3.5% MOE, I would not say that he is calling the popular vote for Chimpy.
joe trippi says you guys are breaking the internets.
it would be nice if kerry gets to carry the senators along with him.

Proof that the freepers have gone mad:
A message to them from Jonah Goldberg:
NOT TO BE INDELICATE... [Jonah Goldberg]
but some of you angrier readers can kiss my Michael Moore if you know what I mean.
I know everyone's edgy. I know this is a tense time. The election's a big deal, blah, blah, blah. But none of it justifies some of the idiotic and nasty nonsense (a tiny minority of) you folks are hurling at me and/or us.
A few points directed solely at those people who need to hear it:
1. The exit numbers I posted were posted in order for me to debunk them. The Wonkette numbers are false. Or they are at least not exit poll numbers from today. It is possible, from what two sources tell me, that they are tallies of the early voting -- conducted by the Democrats. That's plausible.
2. On the posting of exit polls in general (an issue which NRO has been central to for five years), we do not have a monopoly over their publication. It's not like if we choose not to do it, that a dozen other sites won't go right ahead and do it anyway.
3. I have never been convinced that learning your guy is losing in a very tight race translates into lower turnout. It's entirely possible and in my mind probable that it gins up the bace to redouble its efforts. Moreover, the entire universe is not reading NRO and deciding to judge based upon our reports on exit polls.
I am making these points in order to rebut the deluge of angry, pissy emails I'm getting from people who make it sound like we're collaborating with the Nazis when we're simply doing our job. My apologies for wasting everyone else's time.
They are all mad I tell ya, all mad!

Good idea, Tangerine, I think I'll go bake a cake.
SC polls close in less than 40 minutes. I don't expect returns immediately due to heavy voter turnout, many people will still be in line when the polls close and will continue to vote. My 45 minute wait was half of the length most people I talked to waited today. Few serious problems reported other than short delays. There was a report of a challenger at a predominately black polling location that was asked to leave.
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!
Call everyone, even old Great-Aunt Martha in Idaho and your ex-college roomie in Vegas, and get them to the polls.

BBC News 24 interviewed a Kerry foriegn policy advisor about 5 hours ago in what I think was Philadelphia (could be off on that). Jon Bon Jovi and Joni Mitchell are playing in front of an estimated 10,000 people I think the lady said, but it wasn't clear if that's where Kerry would be later too. It might be though.
And I'll be watching the BBC for the rest of the morning. Just think... 3 months of seeing Bush, being instantly revolted... but then reminding myself "That asshole isn't President anymore", and then bursting into song. It's going to be wonderful. Democracy, Bitches!
BOY, nobody wants this guy and crew gone more than I...BUT, could we please clean up the gutter mouths just for tonight and take the "high road"...still plenty of good comments available and excellent ways to CELEBRATE! I usually feel like washing after the troll/freeper comments and anything reported by FAUX NEWS, CNN, and MSNBC...but would love not to get that gritty feeling here. THANKS...enjoy!
In all fairness, though, we'd be trashing the validity of exit polls if Zogby had Shrub with 311 EVs.
Zogby is using non-exit polls from yesterday through today, isn't he? So the (true) unreliability of early exits is irrelevant to the evaluation of the reliability of the Zogby results.
The fundi church down the street has on its billboard "pray for the election and vote your values", and ivotemyvalues.org. I think I'll call them tomorrow and say I did.
Also its snowing and cold here in Lubbock TX. I voted last week. A man saw the long line and said to his wife, "I don't like the idea of all these people voting".
re: 'Mars, bitches!'
Apparently something that Dave Chappelle, a black comedian, said while doing a Bush impression.
You know, black humor.
This has been the most fantastic day! Got to take 3 first time voters to the polls and vote for Kerry.
It was raining harder this a.m. than I've ever seen yet the polls were packed and Kerry supporters were standing at intersections with signs and getting lots of honks.
YEEEEE HAAAAAA!
President Kerry will be such a relief.
What is absolutely heartwarming about this election, win or lose, is that so far there have been no reports of minority disenfranchisement. Excellent.
Joni Mitchell?! Kerry must be close to victory because Mitchell hasn't sung anywhere in a couple of years. Wow!
The Dave Chappell skit had Dave playing "Black Bush". When black Bush got into trouble or didn't know how to get out of a jam, he'd say, "Mar, Bitch!"
Looks like it's Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania.
Win two out of three and you're in.
It's going to come down to Ohio.
I wonder what the markets would be on whether there'll be a concession speech tonight. Don't count on it.
If Kerry wins there won't be anytime for celebrating --well much anyway. The Republicans will be doing their worst to try to deligetimitize the election with bogus claims of fraud etc. Hey have a beer, or whatever, but don't let up. The real fight is just beginning.
Zogby was just on O'Reilly (and I think it is taped around 12 EST), and he said in his gut that he thought Kerry MIGHT win, but his brain told him otherwise.
What is he doing? Is his site just a prediction?
There is no "High Road."

THIS IS NOT HOME YET.
GOTV!
MOSH!
Preznit Bush and his Band of Scheisskopfs had the arrogance to say to the whole world, in the immortal words of Dick-the-Scheisskopf-in-Chief: "Go Fuck Yourself." It would appear that those of us who believe that America belongs to a greater international community have returned the favor.
Joni Mitchell?! Kerry must be close to victory because Mitchell hasn't sung anywhere in a couple of years. Wow!
I believe I may have misheard; I managed to google up
the event in question and I don't see her name. It's not even in Philly... I blame it on you lot for keeping me online for so long
Kerry due to speak there at 11:30 Boston time. Boston, fortunately, will not be playing there at all!
I have to share this.
My 20 year old son initially didn't feel very motivated to vote, using that old line, "Doesn't matter, my vote doesn't count, etc."
For the last few weeks (after deluging him with tons of stuff, mostly about the draft), he has slowly come around to admit this election is important.
But, he's kind of geeky and I never know if he'll actually do something, like go to vote. (He's voting where he goes to school.)
So, I just clicked on AIM to check if he was online. If he was, of course I'd see if he voted or nag him to death if he didn't. (Polls are open until 9pm here.) Well, he wasn't online, but his away message said: VOTING!
Damn, I'm proud of him!
It's possibly because I sent him the info that 2nd of the list of call-ups would be for linguists & computer science people (that's his double major), while my daughter is in first place as a med. student.
O JOHN-JOHN, YOU JUST HAVE TO WIN!
Hey, good for you, mom4kerry!!
(BTW, we're not related.. coincidence about our names, isn't it??)
I am fuming. Just announced on NBC. Those repugs got a daddy Bush appointed judge to issue and injunction in Philadelphia that prohbits the counting of absentee ballots until 9AM tomorrow, because the election officials supposedly didn't give them a list so they could challenge them at the poles. This smells of their usual tactics. They are determined to steal this thing.
ABC's "possibilities" electoral map makes it look like they are calling it for Bush. I think Zogby is more likely.
I just saw where Bush has 34 electoral votes to our 3.
It's only 7:18 pm
Should I panic?
Ha, ha. What happened to their resolve to not rush the results?

Those states were not considered to be competitive. They were presumed to go for Bush anyway, so, no, you don't need to panic.
Unless you live in one of those states, in which case you should consider moving to a sane place.
M4K--You 'gotta feel good as a parent. My 20 yr old came home from school for Columbus Day and my wife and I had his absentee packet ready for him.
I've been getting daily calls asking about our household's voting preferences.
It's been feeling good to tell the pollsters to put 3 votes in the K/E column.
I'm proud of our much-maligned young people. If we lose, we won't be able to blame that group this time.
I'm a nervous wreck!
"Ha, ha. What happened to their resolve to not rush the results?"
EPT
-You mean you believed them?
Presidential race.
Ohio too close to call.
NC too close to call.
WVa. too early to call.
Va. too close to call.
SC too early to call.
**This is from Faux Spews**
Whoops!
My mistake!
My 7:39 pm post :the info was from MSNBC!
Time to drink and drink heavily!
I apologize.
Why has Dubya gone back to D.C.?
Think about it. What has Rove got up his sleeve? There is a reason for this, otherwise Dub would be happy to stay in Texas.
media matters reports 58 58 tie in electoral college
Dad4Kerry - I think we're all related tonight!
It sure does feel good to know you brought your kids up right.
Of course mine didn't just follow my lead - they did their critical thinking on their own and of course, being the genius kids that they are, figured it all out on their own!
not its 78-66 in Kerry's favor

June,
Apparently the archives are better at keeping the blog up to date.

Blogspot has a lot of problems. It usually misses a few of the latest entries that Atrios has posted.
Zogby´s 5pm (Eastern Time) projected Electoral College results assume FL, OH, CO and NV are very close.
Excluding these 4 "in-play" states, Zogby is projecting:
Bush = 213 Electoral Votes
Kerry = 264 Electoral Votes
The only way Bush could come from that far behind and win would be by taking Florida, Ohio and Colorado.
The math is here:

Zogby is the most trusted of all the pollsters, but the hell if I'm going to get my hopes up until the fat lady is signing and dancing the watutsie on her way out the door.
Florida's down and we all know where Ohio's goin'. Now the important work begins. Finding a scapegoat.
My money's on the apathetic young people who forsook their solemn duty to vote for the war-happy millionaire of their choice.
Go get 'em, nitwits.
Damn - Zogby nailed it!
How does it feel to get spanked, pinkos? ;-D
