Hi - I'm a recent addition to the Kos community, and love it here! In fact, this is my first diary, so please bear with me.
My question is, what's up with the votes in Colorado? It looks to me like there are enough outstanding votes in Boulder County to give the state to Kerry. Not that he would then win the election, of course, but take 11 electoral votes away from Bush, and he'd be under 270. Isn't that the whole idea - make him fight for every one? Here's how I see it, according to the latest numbers in the Denver Post:
Bush is ahead of Kerry state-wide by 119,400 votes. But Boulder County has only reported one-third of their precincts, which are running 70% in favor of Kerry. With 92,903 votes counted thus far, there should be remaining about 185,806. If Kerry gets 70% if those, he would gain another 130,268 votes.
So can someone point out if I'm missing something glaringly obvious here? Thanks!
