CNN posts the Wisconsin primary's results as they come in. Only 2% of the precincts have reported so far, so the numbers up right now mean absolutely bugger-all. Even so, I will mention that John Edwards is currently some 310 votes, or 3% of the total thus far, ahead of John Kerry. Wait...Now it's just under 400 votes. Dean, of course, is hopelessly dead, much like one of Steller's sea cows.
Edwards is still ahead. The numbers are still meaningless. You have time to go and get a snack.
The New York Times also has results as they materialise. Their figures have Lyndon LaRouche bringing in a whopping 0.3% of the vote thus far. The BC Marijuana Party won 3.22% in the 2001 provincial elections. That's lots more. This is much greater than the combined Other vote, which included political entities like the Party of Citizens Who Have Decided To Think For Themselves And Be Their Own Politicians, which may in fact be somewhat silly.
CNN still has Edwards very narrowly in the lead, with 7% of the precincts reporting. The Times has only 2% reporting, and Edwards also leading. Here are some numbers from Yahoo! News too, which are slightly different but mostly the same. Aren't numbers pretty?
Here are the numbers from the Official HogBlog Correspondent, on the scene here in Seattle, Washington, eating a sandwich: 6, 9830, À0.
CNN has Edwards keeping his teeny tiny lead, with 12%, they claim, reporting.
Here are some emperor penguins. Aren't they cute?
The Liberal Party in Canada has been wounded at the polls by the ongoing sponsorship scandal thingy. What does Jean Chretien think of all this? 'I don't think any more.' Jack Layton said the NDP would be willing to prop the Liberals up if they slipped into a minority government in the next election; that'd be fun.
Oh, right. America. Kerry's taken an itty-bitty lead in Wisconsin now. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
It's a bit late, but here are some swell, swell Valentine's cards.
John Kerry and John Edwards: could their combined Johning prove as potent as that of John Flansburgh and John Linnell?
Joseph Lieberman is pulling in twice as many votes as Lyndon LaRouche. And he isn't even in the race. I did a Google search on Joementum, and wound up finding a weblog called Gay, Dead or Canadian. I haven't read any of it yet, but I'm pretty sure he's gay. I don't know about the rest.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming.
