GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage - Page 5

Their are still people waiting to vote in Ohio. And with the provisional votes that have not yet been counted, there is no way we will simply hand the victory to Bush. We will not rest until each and every vote is counted. Current standing: 249-242. If you don't like that, you can just sit down.

I hate this country. 51% of people in America suck....That's right, you guys suck.

Anyway, I have no problem with them holding on for hope. The new term doesn't start till January. Bitch about it for the next 3 months if you want if it helps Kerry.

Anti-Bush of course. Kerry only has 48% of the vote.

"Bitch about it" may have been harsh, but it's exactly what I want to do right now because I'm so disgruntled. It's nearly 5 AM and I haven't slept and I have class pretty soon, so that could be why too....

Canyarion · 11-03-2004, 05:07 AM

Haha so Bush pretty much won eh?

your country is going bye-bye.

GameMaster · 11-03-2004, 05:10 AM

254-252!

Please let Kerry pull through! The suspence is killing me. Really though, earlier tonight me and my mom were pretty bummed when Bush was initially winning by a bit. I still hold onto my hope, for hope is all that is left...

Bube · 11-03-2004, 06:44 AM

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! I told everybody in school that Kerry would definitely win! What'll happen to the US if Bush wins? The world? And more importantly, what'll happen to my popularity when everyone finds out I was wrong?

No. No. No. No. No.

Ok, right now Kerry needs to give up the ghost. Bush has a 135,000 vote lead in Ohio and at most 175,000 provisional ballots cast, more likely around 140,00 (according to the Ohio attorney general), many of which will be disqualified.

The military votes have not been counted yet, which will pad Bush in Ohio on top of those odds.

Kerry has about a 0.5% chance to win, meanwhile the whole nation is being held hostage yet again.

Kerry lost. Kerry knows he lost. We know Kerry lost. They know we know that Kerry lost. They need to give it up. Waiting a week or more to have something so obvious made official will not be good for the nation and more importantly to Kerry not be good for his political career if he gets embarrassed even more by the results.

In the end this will be the first election in 15 years where the winner will have a 50+% majority of the vote and a 3.5 million vote lead in voting nationally.

The people have spoken. Sorry if you don't like what they said. Get over it.

Thanks man.

Those electronic voting doodads seem shady to me. I hear they can be hacked quite easily.

I wonder if any vote tampering took place.

Fox 6 · 11-03-2004, 10:40 AM

I weep for the world

The Germanator · 11-03-2004, 11:59 AM

Well, Kerry has conceded, and this means that hese next four years are going to be very sad, just like the last four. Again, I reiterate...51% of America are asshats.

Neo · 11-03-2004, 12:02 PM

I get hell for calling Bush supporters "uneducated superstitious wackos" but no one cares about "asshats?"

Eh, I just made the post.

I don't know. I'm still upset about this, and I'm still having a hard time accepting this defeat. I just cannot believe that so many people want to put that man back in office after all the things he has done. So many people polled nationally believed that the war in Iraq wasn't going well at all (a 60-70% I believe) yet they vote for the candidate that has more or less caused this mess? I just do not understand it and never will, but again, politics have never affected my personal life all that much so far, and hopefully they won't now either, but it's still dissapointing.

Neo · 11-03-2004, 12:14 PM

I'm dissappointed too but I also feel an overwhelming sense of relief that it's finally over. I've been wound up for weeks. And I do see a light at the end of the tunnel as we will have no more Bush after 2008 (Jeb has promised not to run).
