Ok, it's time to crash for the evening.
With 97% of the votes counted, Bush is showing at least a 120,000 vote edge.
And yes, I know, there's a lot of absentee ballots that have to be cast. I'll bet you money they're mostly military personel, and we all know how that's going to break.
Seriously, the absentees would have to break at 75/25 for Kerry (maybe more) for him to win. It's over. And someone tell idiot Mary Beth Cahill to shut up, and leave!
I'm callin' it 286-251, in favor of Bush. If you want to see my breakdown, check out the extended post below.
