Unfortunately not. I had to switch to Scotch and soda. Good thing I have a large ice maker :) I just read Kerry said he won't concede until all the provisional ballots are counted in Ohio. Guessing about 250,000 of them waiting to be counted. Apparently there is some law in Ohio that says they have to wait eleven days after the election before they can be counted. What a fucked up system. Maybe this will at least provoke demands for a coherent federal election standard for all states. Grade school children could come up with a better method of doing this shit!
