Ohio, Ohio, and Ohio
Brian November 3rd, 2004
Just as I have been saying for months, it all comes down to Ohio. Obviously, I would have loved for Kerry to have won Florida, but I was not kidding myself. I knew we need to win PA and OH. So far, he has PA and Ohio is still counting.
Absent a win in Ohio, JFK would need to win NH, HI, NM, NV, MN, IA, and WI. He will (should) probably win NH, HI, MN, IA, and WI. However, those five will not be enough without Ohio. Further, the odds of stealing NM and NV are low.
Thus, it all comes down to Ohio.
UPDATE: Well, MSNBC just projected Ohio for Bush, thus four more years are likely.
UPDATE 2: Well, in the event of a 269 -269 tie (Kerry running the table on the rest of the states) it will be up to the House to break the tie. Republicans have and will have a clear majority there and Bush still wins.
