damn it, I don't even know why I responded to this ridiculous post.

Well, let's see. Let's assume that Kerry did as well in the absentee and provisional ballots as he did in the location that he did the absolute best in for Ohio. In other words, let's assume that the ballots came from Kerry's absolute best, strongest place (we're assuming, so we can do that, even though the reality is far different). That's Cuyahoga, where he maxed out at 67% of the vote. Assuming that Kerry positively kicked ass, he STILL doesn't come up to the 70% needed, and that's also assuming that 100% of the provisional ballots were valid (trust me, they aren't, the only question is how many will be disqualified). Kerry's toast. Hell, he's more than toast. He's now officially breadcrumbs.
