George Bush was re elected in a close electoral vote. He has won the popular vote by 3-4 million. Kerry, contentious to the end, refuses to concede, claiming provisional ballots in Ohio have not yet been counted. However, considering Bush's lead in Ohio & the number of provisional ballots that will be found invalid & splitting the remainder - good luck Kerry - drag the country into another divisive election like Gore did.
The news channels are a pip. Half of them have scored Ohio for Bush(the others have not although 140,000 vote lead is pretty substantial), bringing Bush's total electoral vote to 269 - 1 shy of 270 needed. However, they refuse to call the remainng states, particularly New Mexico - which would put Bush over the top. In New Mexico, Bush leads with 97% of precincts counted. If Kerry got all votes remaining he still could not win New Mexico. But the media, cohorts of Kerry, just refuse to declare Bush the winner unless it is forced on them. They were quick enough to give New Jersey to Kerry when he led with only 70% of the precincts in. What asses they are.
