ABC has also declared NV for BUSH, so since no one else will declare BUSH the winner, I will. I expect WI to go to Kerry; and NM and IA to go to Bush. These wins don't matter. Ohio is solidly Bush, no amount of Kerry/Edwards whining is going to change the reality that they lost here.Hey, look kids...if the three remaining states finish as they are currently trending, my prediction (and Mahatma's, and Steve the Llama Butcher's) will be EXACTLY right.
