Florida was most surprising.  I was expecting a dead heat.  I could see Bush winning, but not by five points.  Wisconsin I predicted correctly.  West Virginia I was extremely surprised by.  When they called West Virginia with just the exit poll, I was shocked.  Michigan I expected.  Minnesota I though Kerry would win by half a point.  Another surprising state was North Carolina.  I though Edwards would help bring the margin to eight or nine points.

Iowa wasn't very surprising.  I had correctly predicted Iowa would be stronger for Bush and Wisconsin.  New Mexico, however, was surprising.  Early in the campaign, Kerry was leading by ten or some big number like that, but near the end Bush was leading in many polls by 5 or 6.  I expected Bush to take it easily.

At the very least, Milwaukee County has some splainin' to do.

Haha, no sh**t there. There was a small investigation a few weeks after the election and they found a couple hundred fake addresses that had registered the same day as the election. That practice needs to go, now.

Were the votes retracted?
