Can anyone tell me what the definitive deal is with them not calling New Mexico for Bush?

103% (!) of the vote in, Bush leading 52% to Kerry's 47%? I mean, I know it's Bill Richardson and all, but...this is just a little too obvious to my tired conservative eyes...?

I also thought it was odd when I saw the 103%.

Whoa! Check out the vote tally now on NM!

It's saying only 98% of the vote is in, with Bush leading only 50% to Kerry's 49%...

How in the HECK did that happen????

A little history lesson, folks. There's a simple explanation for the 103% figure. This is a time-honored Democratic tradition.

It goes back to at least 1948 in south Texas. There, political opeative par excelance Tom Parr truly showed his influence in LBJ's campaign for the Democratic nomination for US Senator. His influence was such that in one south Texas county, the voter turnout rate was in excess of 98% - and in another, the dead literally voted.

IMO, this is the explanation for the 103% turnout in NM.

Yes - I'm joking about NM in 2004. I think the 103% figure is a clerical or arithmetic error.

Sadly, I'm not joking a bit about Tom Parr, LBJ, and 1948. See Robert Cato's Means of Ascent (volume 2 of his multi-volume bio of LBJ) for the riviting, filthy details.

Bush now up by 3000 in NM...

Debs · Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2004 9:40 am Post subject:

Just heard on Fox - it may be mid morning before they know about NM as Bush is up by 3000 but there may be as many as 20,000 votes still out, but they really don't know - yeah, right. Confused

Richardson's in the process of stealing NM, just like NM was stolen from Bush in 2000 - seems, according to Fox, there are some "strange" things going on over there - yeah, we know all about that! Evil or Very Mad

Let's see there was around 600,000 votes counted and Bush had a lead of around 30k. Then 1% of the vote came in putting it at 99% total and Bushes lead went down by about 25k. That does not add up.
