How fascinating that the pro-Democrat media establishment so quickly called states for Sen. John Kerry where his margin of alleged victory is smaller than President Bush's lead in Ohio.
The tally in Pennsylvania, according to pro-Kerry CNN: 2,868,674 for Kerry, 2,746,856 for Bush, an advantage of 121,818.

In Ohio: 2,794,346 for Bush, 2,658,125 for Kerry, an advantage of 136,221.
And check out New Hampshire: 340,019 for Kerry, 330,848 for Bush, a difference of only 9,171. Then there's Wisconsin, which CNN, USA Today and others claim Kerry won: 1,482,583 for Kerry, 1,468,937 for Bush, a difference of only 13,646.
Just as bad: Media including the Wall Street Journal claimed Tuesday morning that Arkansas was too close to call but that California would of course vote Democrat. Yet check out the results: Arkansas was 55-44 for Bush, and California was 55-44 for Kerry.
Many media had called Colorado a swing state but dubbed Connecticut and Delaware solid Democrat states. The results: Colorado was 53-46 for Bush, Delaware 53-46 for Kerry and Connecticut 54-44 for next-door Kerry.
The only places where Kerry won more than 60 percent of the vote: Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia. Bush topped 60 percent in 14 states.
