Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 08 Nov 00 - 12:13 AM Gore has 2% lead in Wisconsin and Iowa,Bush the same in Nevada and Oregon.Florida is the nut,and I think the Dade County votes are being held back until the end of the count. |

Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: mousethief Date: 08 Nov 00 - 12:11 AM Looks like CNN has given Arkansas to Bush, as well as Alaska.

Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 08 Nov 00 - 12:09 AM Washington just declared for Gore,Arkansas for Bush. 242 to 242 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: mousethief Date: 08 Nov 00 - 12:08 AM Well I hope to be able to declare my home state in the Gore column, but it's still too close to call here, and about 50% of our ballots this year were absentee!

Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 08 Nov 00 - 12:07 AM DAMN! Arkansas drove Blush to 240 vs 231. Wisconsin, Iowa, WA, Oregon...and FL still to show their stuff. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 08 Nov 00 - 12:04 AM 240 (Bush) to 231 with Alaska in Duh-Bah's camp. Florida may roll on into the absentee count ending as late as noon tomorrow! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MiriamKilmer Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:58 PM That's "the outcome of the presidential election." "Presidentila" is a nice word, though, don't you think? If we ever get a female President... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Ebbie Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:57 PM Sorry to say that it's not likely that Alaska will be good news... We elect the damnedest people. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MiriamKilmer Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:55 PM So how do we go about dumping the electoral college? I understand it would require a Constitutional Amendment. Gore wins Colorado. Still ahead 2 percentage points in FLA. Arizona - I missed it. They predict Republicans retain control of house. Even if split comes out 50/50, which is still possible, tie-breaker will be Republican (either Leiberman's replacement or Cheney, depending on the presidentila outcome.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:48 PM If Bush carries the final count, the whole GUMMINT will be Republican... scarey business. Neither house is going to jump Democratic. This is an unusual election for sure. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Bill D Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:44 PM Nawww, Amos....there is no mechanism for 3rd parties yet.The media can just choose to ignore them...now IF we dump the electoral college, maybe! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Ebbie Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:42 PM Pretty decisive in California at 11:25: • Electoral Vote: 54 • 11% reporting • Al Gore, Dem 494,081 - 50% (declared winner)
• George W. Bush, GOP 459,088 - 46% |

Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:39 PM Hope in Florida....returns from heavily Democrat Dade County have not come in yet. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:39 PM Alaska closes its polls -- the final frontier -- in 25'. I have never seen a race like this -- even at Del Mar!!! Could this be the beginning of the end of the Two-Party system? Is this the precursor of a new paradigm? In your dreams.... A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Bill D Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:37 PM Florida is the key......and it doesn't look real good. Thing is, I CAN imagine it with G.W, and a Republican congress...and 3-4 Supreme court appointments. Big business, moralistic religions and Trent Lott deciding too many things. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:37 PM Gore up 2% in Iowa,Bush up 2% in Nevada |

Tuesday November 7 11:25 PM ET
• Electoral Vote: 25
• George W. Bush, GOP 2,199,593 - 50% |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: DougR Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:28 PM Well, WyoWoman, I'd have to say of all the folks on the mudcat, I am most sympathetic to your quandry. I still think Gore might pull it off, so don't leave for Canada yet! DougR |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: GutBucketeer Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:28 PM Looks like it is going to be a very long night! Go Gore Go!!! Can't imagine Bush AND a G.O.P Congress! JAB |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:27 PM Isn't CNN OWNED by Republicans? Huh? Huh? :>) Gore had a couple of points on the leading data from FL but they're insisting on the numbers. |
|

|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:24 PM Nevada by CNN is leaning Bushward. Gore owes California to the WIMMINfolk!! A |

|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:20 PM Colorado just moved Bush up into a tie -- Florida will be a key. Lot of absentee and late county numbers still washing around. C'mon Oregon! Murphy is heading for our Mayoralty. Dede Alpert is shutting down Sterling. Good show. GIVE BACK FLORIDA!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:16 PM Washington exit polls supporting Gore, and reflecting Naders mischief on some of the critical hinge-points. |
|

|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:03 PM California's projected to go to Al. Hillary is talking about Pat Moynihan's farm and her black pants suits. Well, HERE we are! Hmmmph. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:02 PM This is a nailbiter with 25 votes swinging. rockers in FL. Iowa, Wisconsin, Nevada -- where are you guys??? California just closed its polls.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MMario Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:01 PM yup - fox just declared Hawaii and california for Gore |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:01 PM I'm scanning CNN,NBC,CBS. NBC just declared California and Hawaii for Gore,but if ebbie's numbers are right,Florida looking grim. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MiriamKilmer Date: 07 Nov 00 - 11:01 PM They're projecting California for GORE!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Bill D Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:57 PM Lej...which media are you listening to mostly? You are getting 'different' results and earlier than I am seeing... still...it is ALL nerve-wracking...it would be real hell to lose by 2-3 electoral votes |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Ebbie Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:56 PM Missed getting Bush's numbers in there: at 10:37 in Florida, Bush was at 51%. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:55 PM Gore has 47%,Ebbie?What's Bush's vote count? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MMario Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:55 PM it's the panhandle, which was open for an hour later (different time zone) that is keeping florida undecided |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MiriamKilmer Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:53 PM "Saumuré" is pickled in brine. So we can have "le variateur d'ambiance du concombre suamuré" or "le conconbre au vinaigre plus bouché" - but that sounds a bit too lewd. I don't post stuff like that on the internet. Meanwhile, "saumâtre" means "hard to take." Someone less pure-minded than I could realy do something with this translation.

|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:53 PM George Bush tried hard to rattle California; the polls have been close. But I believe, i believe, that California will listen to its heart and rise up to swing the nation by the short hours. :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Ebbie Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:52 PM Florida at 10:37 ET Electoral Vote: 25 60% reporting Al Gore, Dem 1,549,320 - 47% |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Troll Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:51 PM I dunno, Amos. The registered Republicans in Florida outnumber the Democrats. It'll be the precincts in Miami, Orlando, and Tampa that'll tell the tale. The rural counties are all very strong for Bush but they should be mostly in by now. troll |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:50 PM Popular vote currently within 100,000 votes.Hell,Bush leads in Missouri 51% to 49%,and they've not counted half the vote there,but declared for Bush.This is crazy...but I love it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:49 PM And millions in California which might push the hinge of this whole shtick into the future by several days!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MMario Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:48 PM 600,000 absentee ballots in florida |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:45 PM I'd like to see the actual vote count for Florida.Arkansas is dead even. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:40 PM Colorado is still too close to call, they say. My bet is they give Florida back to Al and Colorado puffs abd bellows its way into the Bush....camp, that is. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: LEJ's Mudcat Election HQ 2000 From: MMario Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:39 PM and someone just raised doubts about Pennsylvania. But the networks say they stand by their call. |
