Jacked up Ron Fournier (AP) Article on Florida?
Please take a look at this article by Ron Fournier (AP). Am I blind, or does the author have absolutely NO evidence (numbers) to back up his headline? What kind of crap is the AP peddling?

Bush Wins Florida; Ohio Too Close to Call

1 minute ago

By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) and challenger John Kerry (news - web sites ) sweated out a tension-packed conclusion to the race between an embattled incumbent and a Democrat who questioned the war he waged in Iraq (news - web sites). Ohio loomed as this year's Florida, the decisive state, with Kerry's options dwindling.

Bush won Florida, the state he nailed down four years ago only after a 36-day recount and Supreme Court decision. Kerry hung on to the Democratic prize of Pennsylvania, but had precious few places to pick up electoral votes that went Republican in 2000. He took New Hampshire from Bush, but it has only four electoral votes. That leaves just Ohio and Nevada.

"I believe I will win, thank you very much," Bush said while awaiting results from the hard-fought Midwest and Florida with his family and dog Barney.

Kerry, a four-term Massachusetts senator, allowed himself to muse about the problems he might face in the White House, including a soaring deficit and a war that has claimed more than 1,100 lives.

2. I know...
Sometimes I wish my tinfoil hat hadn't blown out the window of my car when I was on the highway. It would come in handy right about now...
