Fuque Faux

Faux News is apparently calling Ohio for Bush, but don't you believe it. They stole one, but this time the theme is no surrender.

Of the states still uncalled on the AP map as I write, Kerry has leads in Nevada, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and New Hampshire (Washington, I happily and proudly report, has finally been called for Kerry). New Mexico's a problem, with a 17,000 vote deficit, but it's also irrelevant if Ohio comes through, and Ohio's hardly done.

There's a substantial deficit, about 115,000 votes, but there are significant urban centers still reporting (Air America just reported that Cayahauga County is now turning in a report that shows a 195,000 vote bulge for Kerry) and there are about 150,000 provisional ballots that may be the final key to victory.

Dreams of landslides are gone, but this election isn't over until every vote is counted - including the wet foot heroes in Ohio.

Network projections are not election results. Count every damn vote.
