Hmm a little off on that analysis. 

Looking at the numbers coming in from the states, I think you are
going to see a clear winner in Florida and Ohio. I project that both
of those are going to go to Bush in the end. I think when that
happens, you will see a very easy victory for Bush this election.

I know the networks are being very conservative especially considering
the polls out here have not closed yet. Once they do close, you are
going to see them call these states. Right now, both Ohio and Florida
are being led by Bush, and I really don't think you are going to see
those change much. Especially Florida which has almost all the
precincts reported.
