Ohio and North Carolina are now too close to call. West Virginia is too early to call.
Anyway, for my AP Government and Politics class, I have to keep a diary of tonight, so every so often I'll post it here.
Quote:
6:52 PM: So I guess I’ll start my journal now. It’s 6:52 and I am watching Hardball’s coverage on MSNBC. No real feelings on the election now, I just want to hear the results so I can get a feel of what the night is going to be.
7:00 PM: They’ve started projecting. Bush has taken Georgia, Indiana, and Kentucky. Kerry has taken Vermont. South Carolina and Virginia are too close to call, but being southern states, when the numbers come in, I predict Bush.
7:05 PM: Kentucky has also apparently passed an amendment over gay marriage, defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
7:17 PM: I just saw they spray painting the ice in New York for NBC’s little map. I thought it was going to be something cool where like they had lights under the ice or something, but no, just spray paint. Talk about crappy.
7:23 PM: Brian Williams is talking about the exit poll. Is the nation headed in the right direction? 47% yes, 50% no. This is down from 65% yes and 31% no in 2000. Bush gets 51% on job approval.
7:30 PM: Ohio results are about to come in. MSNBC is running a video intro before they announce it. Here it comes…. Ohio, too close to call. North Carolina, too close to call. West Virginia is too early to call. Virginia is still too close to call. South Carolina is still too close to call. |
