Fox calls Ohio & Alaska for President Bush
2004-11-03
That gives W 269 EV, meaning the worst possible outcome is a tie. A tie would be resolved in the House of Representatives, voting state by state. Republicans control more state delegations, so a tie equals a Bush win.

Looks like the Kerrys will not pull an AlGore and try to tie the results up in litigation. (Sorry, Murat!)

We here in Ohio are proud to have done our part.

#19  The media will never again have the capacity to 'steal' the election the way they tried thi stime.

By gosh! You may be right, if so Dan Rather's FU a mounth back is going to be the stuff historians will be wondering about in 50 years.

Like Lee's invasion of PA.

#18  I went to bed at Midnight and woke up at 4:30 to check the final final results. Funny that they (LLL MSM) won't call the election for Bush. But you have to understand that they how so much invested in his defeat they can't fathom him winning. NO way Kerry can make up the deficit in Ohio and NM and yet they can't make the call. You can bet that if Kerry had a 150k+ lead in Ohio that state would be in the Kerry column. But this is why I too today off. So i can't spend the day surfing and listening to the radio. Bush won, even it CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS fail to see it.

#17  The silence from the MSM is deafening, but this is a historic win for the Republicans and GWB. I was convinced GW would win until about 24 hours ago when the media panicked me.

Again historic! The media will never again have the capacity to 'steal' the election the way they tried thi stime. In 4 years, they will just be another spin/opinion amoungst many.

#14  Bush Wins!


The radical neo-socialist-Dems do not seem to be handling yet another lose of mammoth proportions to their hidden true goals too well, in the early morning hours of Wednesday.

Stop the delay tactics and issue the inevitable concession speech...now!

Oh, yes, those on the Cali far-Left stating they would move to Canada if Bush won, well, PINKOS, PACK YOUR BAGS!

#13  The DNC is completely lacking in honor. They will sue and lose big.

#12  Breck Boy the trial lawyer is a lost cause. Perhaps Kerry will show us that he truly is the deeply serious man he passes himself off as, and do the right thing.

John K, you will almost certainly not gain the White House if you drown this election in lawsuits. But if you refrain from doing so, you will gain a place in American history, and a place in all our hearts. If you're the noble old soldier you claim to be, then do the right thing, make this sacrifice to your pride, and heal the nation's wounds.

#11  Meaning the Dems have proven with Eddie's statement.

#10  Ok Bush has led the Republicans to extend their lead in the Senate and the House and won the Popular Vote and, unless Kennedy, Kerry & Edwards with their 1 zillion lawyers can steal it the Electoral vote....
Have proven themselves to be the party of Sore Loosers and crybabys.

#9  unbelievable... they're down by 125,000 votes with only another 250,000 left to count in OH. They know that only legal chicanery can possibly reverse that margin.

On top of this, Bush is clearly going to win the popular vote by a margin of about 3 million, or six times the margin that Gore won the popular vote by in 2000. There's simply no excuse for games this time around. Shameful.

Show some dignity, or at least some respect for all of us. Do the right thing, John. There's a war on, remember?

#7  Interesting lex....the only reason I can think sKerry might show some class is that he hasn't given up his seat. I can't for the life of me think of the DNC and the rest of those Keystone Cops showing any class of their own initiative. The look on Carville's face tonight was priceless!

#6  Edwards just spoke: they are not conceding, and will have 3,200 lawyers in Ohio Wednesday.

#5  call me a hopeless optimist, but i'm betting that kerry will show some real class and courage and spare the nation the agony that gore put us through. this time around, there's a war on. kerry has no prayer of winning. h can at least return to teh senate with some dignity and a sense that he's atoned, big time, for thirty years of dreadful non-service, capped by one of the worst campaigns since dukakis's.

#4  The dems are going to contest Ohio through legal means, and drag it out at least two weeks. They will fail, and then it's game over, Bush wins.

#3  bush is up by 5 percent in NM, with ninety-SIX percent of the vote in. IT'S OVER

#2  bush is up by five percent in NM, with ninety-one percent of the vote in. Game over.

#1  Looks like New Mexico will be going for Bush so far. This would push it over the magic number to win.
