Kerry Team 'Freaking Out' Over Oregon (Tied or Losing)

There are no exit polls in Oregon because there is nothing to exit from. It's all mail in ballots. Closest thing would be their internal polls. The state can't release numbers until the nonexistent polls close at 8 pm

[theDentist]

Do they even have polling places in Oregon?

Yup. 1 in every Starbucks.

I've been up to Lake County (South Eastern Oregon) the last few weekends and saw PLENTY of Bush signs during my travels.

Good news!

[gopwinsin04]

I may plan a vacation there.

[mewzilla]

Their people are freaking about data showing indicating Kerry tied or losing Oregon.

Bwah hah hah hah hah...Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

[1L]

Why would they freak out since they are winning every swing state according to the exit polls.

[Aria]

It's frequently gorgeous here....but not today....rain rain rain. (I'm in Portland)

[Shermy]

Also, I wonder, if you know, how the vigorous campaign against Nader's ballot access might have negatived the image of Kerry.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Finally some good news..

We're in for a lot of good news tonight...stay strong and keep the faith.

How does ANYONE, kerry workers or the press get ANY kind of data before voting is shut off?

releasing any data early is an invitation for the RATS behind to cheat!

[highflight]

TSUNAMI

[broadsword]

How could Johnhammed al Qerry lose Oregon? That state is as looney liberal as it gets.

I hope this is true. I hope and I pray.

[HallowThisGround]

Voting is by mail in Oregon............how can they be doing this from exit polling? Are they getting some other info we don't know about?

[kpp_kpp]

a state that doesn't allow you to fill your own gas tank has problems regardless.

[Nathan Zachary]

really? a blow out for Bush in FL? Great! that means we won!

[bray]

Wrong-I am guessing that the Dems are seeing that their are more Republican ballots than Dem ballots waiting to be counted!! Knowing that Repubs are voting 95% W and Dems 80% Yaawn you do the math. This was a safe state and now likely a Red State!!

Pray for W and Our Election

Go here, he's on live now:

As we know, rats are quite good at cheating..

"a state that doesn't allow you to fill your own gas tank has problems regardless"

I forgot about that.

[Future Useless Eater]

Since this is a total mail-in-ballot, do you think the heavy rain in portland can have any effect?


I'd say most people have voted already, right?

If not and its pouring, could that keep a few from driving their ballot to some pickup point?


Oh... and there is a separate thread on Oregon...

THey say BE SURE TO SIGN the envelope or the ballot is trashed.

Also DO NOT hand it to some flunky standing by the pickup point (rats pretending to be poll workers)

And do not trust a library for a drop-off point. Take it to an official location
