Hmmmmmmm, I wonder what those gas prices looked like four years ago.

I'm surprised they're low as they are! (Then again California living skews it.)

Blogs Nudge Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Lower

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which blogs they're talking about here?

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 20:54 (nineteen years ago) link

you know, blogs. They're on the internets.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 20:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Never mind, I just checked over at Slate.

John Kerry's proved that he can take a bullet. Bush, on the other hand, jumps at the sound of a door being shut.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Who are you talking to?

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Could Arkansas very much be 'on the table', to return to this thread's inception? And indeed Virginia, considering that an exit poll shows Bush only leading by 3% or so in North Carolina. Kerry has consistently and recently polled better in VA and AR than NC...

― Tom May (Tom May), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, Kyle. Forgot to say x-post.

x-p

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:13 (nineteen years ago) link

tom, where are you getting exit polls from

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:18 (nineteen years ago) link

They are quoted in the main election thread on ILE. 400-odd posts etc. :) I am of course blissfully unaware of how accurate they may be, however. ;)

Today in Broward County. Which one looks more happy and confident?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:34 (nineteen years ago) link

the dude on the left cos he's bigger and better able to carry signs, also he seems free from the crippling "look at me" insecurity of his republican counterpart.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

He's also not going to put his own eye out with his sign.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:42 (nineteen years ago) link

unfortunately just having eaten v large sloppy joes and corn fritters and what morrisons call "florida salad" (meg and i have started eating "appropriate" food on big events, we had a greek feast for the olympic opening ceremony) i am not optimistic about my ability to stay awake to any meaningful time...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:53 (nineteen years ago) link

missouri is looking good! kerry's doing maybe five points better than expected, which means it's tied up!

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:05 (nineteen years ago) link

It's on like Donkey Kong!

― Leon in Exile (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Teeny, if Kerry wins Missouri, you can take full god damned credit. You've been working your ass off.

Zogby exit polls give it to kerry by 98 EV

― LE CHUCK!™ (ex machina), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:21 (nineteen years ago) link

cnn is totally saying kerry won between the lines. apparently everyone voted based on the economy and turnout is through the roof. but they never actually say (as they would have yesterday) that those signs indicate a solid Kerry victory.

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:24 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, that means Kerry won

Zogby exit polls give it to kerry by 98 EV

phone polls, not exits

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:26 (nineteen years ago) link

wow, i'm going with the dude who has kirsten dunst's endorsement (and the endorsement from the guy with the cool shades).

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:27 (nineteen years ago) link

my new hero tucker carlson just spelled it out. i love america.

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:37 (nineteen years ago) link

also, he's not nearly as sad as he should be

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:38 (nineteen years ago) link

i seriously think he secretly voted for kerry. when you can't carry your own apparatchiks, you're in some serious shit.

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:39 (nineteen years ago) link

tucker carlson's a republican but he's also a bush hater (at least away from gig's where he's paid to reiterate gop talking points)(ie away from crossfire). he didn't like dubya in 2000.

― Doobieindisguise, Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I wore a bow tie yesterday and came close to snuffing the small weak light of life out of one of my co-workers for referring to wee 'Tuck'. Fuxor has the worst taste in them, IMVO.

what does it say when tucker carlson is the only honest man on your network?

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 00:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Ach - I've just realised that I'm totally assuming a Kerry victory now (I suddenly remembered that Bush could be re-elected and I was like "Shit - I forgot!"). Must not do this.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 00:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah. I remember last time, they proclaimed Bush the winner and showed the crowds in Austin going wild. I sat there resigned, like air was slowly getting leaked out of an old tire. The lights went out on the capitol, and they started showing some campaign video for a moment.

And then everything came back on, Don Evans walked out and said "We don't know what the FUCK is going on." and the rest is history.

Even though Bush still won, he never got his night like Clinton got in Little Rock. Hopefully, he never will.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 00:54 (nineteen years ago) link

i wonder how many folks will be at the speech in boston tonight

― Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 01:09 (nineteen years ago) link

3% of precincts in NH: 59-41 for Kerry and a rather embarrassingly small number of votes so far for Ralphie Nader.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 01:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I still think Badnarik will easily get more votes than Nader this year, and that it was stupid for all those polls to include Nader as a player.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 01:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Pleasant - I remember seeing that on tv.

― k3rry (dymaxia), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 01:35 (nineteen years ago) link

yep, there it goes. no, wait.. here's something... nope, it's gone now. finished. kaput.

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 05:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, I've resigned to lose the battle that is the name of this thread (Good ol' confused Arkansas who voted for George Wallace in 1968), but I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP THE WAR.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 07:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay. I've given up the war now.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 18:04 (nineteen years ago) link

It's for the best.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 18:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm ready to fight a new kind of war. Thus far, we've been the dominant culture and they were the only side fighting. The lesson of November the 2nd is that the world has changed irrevocably and we may need to take pre-emptive action. Show who is the cultural boss.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

One day, in the future, when New York City is a radioactive nightmare and they've put me into a mandatory "fun zone" out in the sticks, I'll out look over a print out of this thread that I've hidden in a cave somewhere, and laugh long and hard into the bitterly cold night.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

What cultural issue could the Democrats use to rally their troops as much as gay marriage did for the Republicans? Medicinal marijuana? Please.

Next time I start a thread about Election Day optimisim, I'm going to write it from the back of my pet unicorn while a monkey flys out of its butt.
