Rudy Rodarte's Journal: You Decide 2004.2

Late night
I stayed up until 2:00 AM CST watching CNN and refreshing CNN.com, MSNBC, Fox News and ABCNews.com. I took a little nap from 1 to 1:30 by accident. Once I heard the secretary of State from Ohio say that it would take 11 days to count the provisional ballots, I went to bed. Goodnight!
While sleeping, I dreamt that Bush won Alaska and that the networks were using AK, AS, and AL for Alaska. yea, odd.
Git up!
The morning went as usual except that the TV was on CNN and not News 8 Austin, and I was going on 4 or so hours of so-called sleep. I made breakfast, worked out and got to work before 8. Then I opened up firefox with all the major news outlets (and /.) on my main browser. The refreshing party had begun. Wednesdays are my worst days, so I knew that I would not see anything until 15-20 minutes after it was posted. No one was saying anything for a good while, until Andy card came out and claimed victory for Bush. The Dems were still saying they would fight for every vote at this point.
He's tapping out! He tapped! He tapped!
At 10:26, I refreshed Fox News and saw that Kerry had just called Bush to concede! I refreshed the others and slowly, they all said the same thing! It makes sense, though. Given the number of provisional ballots minus those that would be tossed out, even if they all went for Kerry, Ohio would still belong to Bush. More commentary, probably after lunch.
