Nov 2, 2004, 10 something or other PM – Election Day

According to MSNBC, the youth vote did not turn up in numbers greater than in 2000. The youth are voting for Kerry but the numbers are simply not there to skew the conventional election numbers.

Ohio remains in play, but I still do not like the trends. The Democrats need a strong finish in the vote that has not been counted. I can see the President taking Florida and Ohio, and if that happens, this thing is over for Kerry.

Kerry has won Pennsylvania and is, at least, holding the states he was supposed to win. However, he has yet to break through in the states where he has to. The electoral count is close right now, but Kerry is still eight votes behind and seventy one votes away from a victory.
