F*ckin right, Optimus would own some serious house. The first president of the United States that can transform into a transport truck.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

There go california's votes...

Bush: 197
Kerry: 188

But Bush is in the lead in Ohio and Florida.....

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

very very tight

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Like a french maid.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

That was horrible... :D

Dan Rather says Bush: 219 Kerry: 199

Gotta believe him ;)

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

bwaaaaaah I say final will be

Bush: 274
Kerry: 253

Or... whatever would be close to that... I think I might be missing a vote somehow

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

NOOO NOT FLORIDA! OH IT BURNS IT BURNS!!!

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

My predictions led me to Bush with 289 and Kerry with 249. I could be wrong with saying that Bush will win Iowa, Colorado, or Ohio.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

All things point to Bush getting Florida and Ohio, which is death to Kerry, in effect.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

BUSH'S LEAD IN OHIO DROPPED FROM 4% TO 3% DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!?!?!?........ It means it'll either go back up or Bush will win by a margin smaller than 4%...

Edit: Now it's 51% vs. 49%....... Hmmm....... Could a comeback in Ohio somehow take place?

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Kerry could still cast a magical spell or something and win...

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Well, hes not down and out yet. Ohio really is the key. Whoever gets it basically kills the opponent.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

You'll have to excuse me, I'm feeling a little down... :(

Bush got Ohio... :(

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

So Optimus didnt win? :(

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

excuse me while I puke.



this is sad for me. very sad.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Provisional ballots won't be counted until the 11th, and I hear Kerry is already filing for a recount in Ohio. I don't see how they can make up 100,000 votes.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I think Kerry needs to give this one up for the sake of all future elections. If he demands a recount at a 100,000 vote deficit, then future races are going to always be contested. This is not a partisan feeling, either. If Bush was losing by the same margin, I would say to concede the state for the sake of future elections.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I agree... Th'ain't no way he's gonna close the gap of 100,000 votes... Unless there is some sort of major problem magically unearthed that was magically there in the first place...

And that's not sarcasm, it'd really have to be magical... Maybe that's the magical spell he'd cast that I mentioned earlier...

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I could see Bush either getting by on a technicality to run for four years after this 4 years because he didnt get elcted the first time, or if he makes like, a thing that says you can run for more than 2 consecutive terms.

He looks like the monkey for the job.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I dont get you during this post......pro or anti Bush?

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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....

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Haha so Bush pretty much won eh?

your country is going bye-bye. :p

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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...

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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.

*does superiority dance and walks out of the room giving the finger*

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Always a nice guy. :) Thanks man.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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

I wonder if any vote tampering took place.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I weep for the world :(

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

Eh, I just made the post. :D

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.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

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).

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I do believe I gave the finger after my superiority dance.

Besides, its so hard to get upset over such childish namecalling when your boy just got installed for the next 4 years.

*continues superiority dance, moons the room, and walks out like George Jefferson after calling his neighbor a "honky"*

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

You should be proud Neo. I really do hold your opinions with more respect because you just don't throw up ridculous names at people you don't understand, even if I don't agree with your opinions. Thats why I contradicted you earlier.

No hard feelings and all that shebang. It's been an honor butting heads. :D

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

No hard feelings. The results are what they are and I accept them. I'm sure Bush will do his best to reach out to the democrats.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I'm sure 97% will not listen. We will be a nation harshly divided for the next 8 years. The Dems needed this one to keep the peace. They lost.

Re: GameTavern's Election '04 Coverage
 

I think its funny how the news channels say "Bush Re-elected" No. Bush is "elected" He was appointed the first time, not elected. Like I said, this makes me wonder if he will slip through on a technicality that will let him run for ANOTHER term after this, or if he will be stupid enough to make a Bill or whatever that says a President can serve as many consecutive terms as he pleases.

I can see him doing that.

The one thing I absolutely love about Bushs campaign this year, is he is promising to do things for the country over the next 4 years.....things he promised to do 4 years ago. Things he hasnt done. You would think people would realise that. But they dont.

The whole American voting system is messed up.

You cant have 2 main parties talking for about 360 million people. You cant split them up into 2 definate groups.
And mostly the issues dont matter to most people, its all about appearance. Kerry is rich, Bush is a slob. Most people in the south are exactly like Bush is (not really, because hes a whiney little rich boy) so they voted for him because hes friendly looking. Not to mention he wouldnt have nicknames like "Seabiscuit"
