FLORIDA...
Has been declared for Bush by a fairly strong margin. One which, reporters say, cannot be overcome by the absentee ballots yet uncounted. Apparently, 2000 was a fluke of a fluke in that state. In 2000, Bush should clearly not have won, albeit by a very slight margin. But he did, in a fluke system. However, the strong legitimate (presumably) turnout in his favor this year reveals that even with a higher voter turnout and all the anger and resentment from 2000, Floridians are choosing to support Bush. Thus rendering the actual (as opposed to legal) result in 2000 a fluke in itself. One factor lending support to Bush is clearly the recent hurricanes that the federal government brought Florida through. True, any president would have done that, but it's going to help the party that was sitting in office.
So, I guess that's it for "America's End Zone." Kerry needs Ohio now more than ever to take this election. I'm sure Brendan will have analysis later.
