Ok. I'm sorry, but I've not given up. White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card said today he is convinced President Bush has defeated Sen. Kerry, but that Bush will not make a statement until later today. "President Bush decided to give Sen. Kerry the respect of more time to reflect on the results of this election," he said. With three states still up in the air, neither candidate has the necessary 270 electoral votes. Bush is so far winning in Ohio 236 000 votes, but nothing's been confirmed in Iowa or New Mexico which could both go either way AND the provisional and absentee ballots won't be accounted for for another 11 days. So we'll know for certain and definite in two weeks time. It is possible. Only just. Not very likely. But possible.
