I've been watching the EV polls, looks stalled out at 254 for Bush, 252 for Kerry. OH (where _numerous_ documented polling irregularities have been reported) hasn't been counted yet. But as Kerry is conceeding, that'll end the election.

I've decided solidly not to deal with politics any more. This is my last comment. It is very symbolic that the election has ended in Ohio, the state, which can't be Bush's because of its economic crash, and sky rocketing unemployment during the last four years. Remember, this is the state, which Michael Moore used as the brightest example in his Fahrenheit 9/11 ! So, it seems that the election has been decided prior to its start, and, though I have been very angry at INDY for what they have been publishing prior to this election, it seems that this (their publications) wasn't any issue of value no matter what. So, farewell to politics!!!

If Karl Rove were progressive: The election would be declared the final stage of diplomatic negotiations, and it would be time for decisive action as a last resort to clarify things. It's a good thing Karl is not progressive; lots of people would get hurt.
