(This daylog is a chronicle of the Election events today in the United States)
Today is the first day of our barreling towards the apocylapse, look at our choices? Why do you think it's so close, eh?
For the republicans, George W. Bush, affectionately known as dubya, who is "not big on booklearning".
For the democrats, Al Gore, who invented everything and wants to punish artists guilty of thought crimes.
Vote Harry Browne, of the Libertarian Party, at least then your vote will mean something, even though you'd be voting for
your own abilities to function in the world without government.
If you want to value the enviornment over your ability to drive a car or run a buisness, You could Vote Nader.
Better yet, if you are just planning on voting for the hell of it Don't Vote!
9:04 am, George W. Bush gave an intresting interview this morning to a bunch of reporters in his home in Austin, TX. He
was asked what mood he was in, (he said calm.) He was asked why he was not at all nervous, and he replied "In case you haven't
noticed by now, I trust the people."
On funbets, US PRESIDENT 2000:
11 - 7 - 2000, 9:34a
HIGH BID | LOWEST ASK | TODAYS VOLUME | LAST TRADE | TODAY'S CHANGE
AL GORE 76.60 | 89.00 | 26150 | 76.60 | -12.40
GEORGE W BUSH 96.05 | 99.99 | 21050 | 99.99 | 0.01
As you can see, Al Gore is currently the safer (long) bet if you assume that they are dead even in the
polls. Even if George W Bush is far ahead I wouldn't put any money on him though, (The return for
a winning bet is $100 a share), since at the max of 1000 shares you have $10 to gain and $99990 to lose.
An extremely dangerous waste of cash to tie up for just $10. This thing is a horse race, if you are
betting here, i'd go with gore.
Personally, I have 1000 shares shorted at 95.03 back in August on Dubya. GWB is of course, a safer bet to short
than AG is to buy. Espically if you can get that Last Trade of 99.99 for 1k shares, which would then give
you $99990 to win and $10 to lose! The stupidity of people, eh?

HIGH BID | LOWEST ASK | TODAYS VOLUME | LAST TRADE | TODAY'S CHANGE

GEORGE W BUSH 96.08 | 99.00 | 25250 | 96.07 | -3.91
Well it looks like Al Gore has made up his daily, his lowest ask has increased by $6, and his volume has outnumbered
GWB's 2:1 in the last 2 hours. Al Gore has shot up insanely at this late hour. Both Candiates are now a great short (sell)
and an awful long (bet).
11:36 am, Dubya is now at the polls. I think we all know who hes voting for. He got some sleep but
Al Gore has not had any sleep at all after the last day of Campaigning since he has not yet completely stopped campaigning,
he is expected to visit some elementry school children in class later today.
11:38 am, Just got news from the Libertarian Party (or rather, just read it) that Harry Browne's results will be
reported on the air on Fox News instead of just being stacked in with the 3rd party votes. Fox News is taking
"Fair and Balanced" to new heights. Too bad more news outlets can't do this.

With about 12 hours left to place a bet good deals keep getting done for Bush Sellers with that insane Last
Trade rating. $100 to place on the line for $99,900 is not a bad bet in a shorting of Bush.
12:11 pm, A snowstorm around West Texas looks to be preventing some people from going to the polls.

No one is selling Bush! The sellers sold out! Some more people are bound to figure out what a great
deal this is pretty soon.
12:15 pm, Al Gore ad his wife Tipper are voting right now outside his small hometown of
Carthage, TN.
12:25 pm, Al Gore as talking to a bunch of kids at an Elementry School, in Elmwood, TN and hes doing very very well with the
Kids say the darnest things factor. "What would you do if you were president?" - Gore "Improve Congress." - Female Elementry
student. "Thats certainly presidential thinking." - Al Gore.
12:52 pm, Hint for those of you running presidential campaigns, don't distribute cigarettes to homeless people in exchange for
votes.

GEORGE W BUSH 96.75 | NONE | 37900 | 99.00 | -0.98
Everything people sell of Bush is selling out pretty quickly. Gore is all over the spectrum of
prices. Clearly Bush is considered the legitimate favorite. (since when people are playing for
keeps, they don't make false predictions with the chips.)

GEORGE W BUSH 96.00 | 99.99 | 52350 | 99.99 | 0.01
Bush is catching up with Gore in volume of trades. Gore is falling out of the trees. People
don't seem to trust Gore to win the election, but as they say, it's going to depend alot
on the Electoral Votes given by Florida. I imagine that Gore will fly upwards once the
results start comming in at 7pm.
3:11 pm, It appears that Al Gore's actions of talking to children across the gym in the same
room where there was a polling place may have violated election laws, in this case, apparently
the distance from which you cannot campaign is 100 feet from the polling place, a distance he would not
have left during his talk. However, this raises other questions, first of all, is it campaigning if the
elementary school students he is talking to are not of voting age? (Which they are not.) Secondly, are
people being prohibited from voting while Gore is talking? Were other people trying to vote and being
prevented from it during his talk? Moral of the story? Keep everything squeeky clean when running
for president.

GEORGE W BUSH 98.00 | NONE | 55400 | 97.00 | -2.98
All of the sudden Al Gore and GWB have pulled even in last trade, and are about as close as they
will probaly get in bidding and selling. George W. Bush would probaly be caught up in volume if
his sellers did not keep running out of stock to sell. There are about 8 and a half hours left
to place orders, and roughly the same amount of time till the last poll, in Alaska, closes.

GEORGE W BUSH 95.95 | 99.99 | 68950 | 95.95 | -4.03
Gore has once again dropped off, but his Volume has once again outpreformed bush over the
past two hours.
5:12 pm, It should be noted that Nader may decide this extremely close election, based upon
the amount of votes his ultra-liberal platform draws away from the also liberal Al Gore. Most pundits
say that nationally, if Ralph Nader gets 5%, hes trouble for gore, and if he makes 7%, hes flat out poison.
5:16 pm, Intresting little predictions thru insane divination. At a pumpkin shooting contest out in the mid-west, they attempted to
divine the result of the election by shooting pumpkins with Gore and Bush posters taped on them.
Gore won this contest. In an overseas poll in France amongst americans voting absentee, (Where most of the balloters are Republican
buisnessmen and they were right in all elections over the past 24 years except when they went for Gerald Ford over Jimmy Carter.)
They went for Bush 58% over Gore 42%. On Monday Night Football, The Tennesee Titans played the Washington Redskins, which brings
up two intresting divinative possibilities. The Redskins lost, and whenever the Redskins lose their monday night game before the election,
the party in power loses the Presidency. However, Al Gore is from Tennessee, the location which defeated the Redskins. This
is extremely intresting, because formerly the Titans were from Houston, Texas! The home state of George W. Bush!
5:28 pm, The turnout for this election is huge, various groups and people are recieving turnout percentages of
around 65% to 80% from place to place, which would
make this one of the highest turnouts ever.

GEORGE W BUSH 96.50 | 99.75 | 68950 | 95.95 | -4.03
We have about 27 minutes before the candidates start filling out their score cards with the first two states,
Indiana and Kentucky. It looks like the volume
has settled and the vast majority of the people placing wagers have played their cards, as Bush has remained static
over the past half hour.
5:36 pm, It's crunch time in NYC between Hillary Clinton (Wife of President Clinton) and Rick Lazio for US Senate, they are running
just as close a heat as the Presidential Candidates. Democrats need to pick up 5 seats in the Senate to claim a majority, and
7 seats in the house to claim another such paper thin majority. The Democrats actually need 6 seats in the senate to claim a majority
should
Al Gore win and his running mate Joseph Leiberman leave his senate seat to be appointed by the governor (Tom Ridge) of his state,
Massachusetts,
who is a republican, who will obviously fill Leiberman's seat with a Republican.

We'll be able to monitor the bail outs once the tally that counts starts counting.
6 PM, BUSH HAS WON THE ELECTORAL VOTES OF INDIANA AND
KENTUCKY ACCORDING TO FOX NEWS EXIT POLLS
...
Kentucky will give Bush 8 electoral votes.
Indiana will give Bush 12 electoral votes for a total of 20.
270 Electoral Votes are required to win.
Thats 250 more for Bush and 270 more for Gore.
518/538 votes are not yet given!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that only Ralph Nader, Pat Buchanan, George W. Bush
and Al Gore are considered for exit polling. Harry Browne, who

Still major uncertainty with Gore Betters after the First Electoral Votes have been cast.
6:20 pm, Miles to go before we sleep, and miles to go before we sleep.
6:44 pm, The Democrats pick up one house seat in Kentucky, they need 6 more seats for control of the house.
According to exit polls...
7 PM GEORGE W. BUSH HAS WON SOUTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA

Vermont will give a total of 3 electoral votes to Al Gore.
270 Electoral Votes are needed to win. Thats 229 more for George W. Bush
and 267 more for Al Gore.
...
494/538 Electoral votes are still available!
Foxnews has given Bush 41 votes, CNN has given him only 28!
The Libertarians, who have Georgia as close to a stronghold as they could possibly consider having, may have taken away votes
from George W. Bush and given them to Harry Browne!
Bill Nelson wins the Democrats another seat in the house. They need 5!
The Democrats are now in need of 4 seats for control, 5 if Gore wins the presidency.
7:30 PM GEORGE W. BUSH HAS WON GEORGIA
Georgia will give a total of 13 electoral votes to George W. Bush for a total of 54.
270 Electoral Votes are needed to win. Thats 216 for George W. Bush and 267 for Al Gore.

Georgia was dropped from contention and George W. Bush has it. So much for the Libs.
The Democrats lost a senate seat, putting them back at 6 seats with a gore loss and 7 seats with a gore win needed for
control of the senate.

...
289/538 Electoral Votes are still in the Saddle!
George W. Bush picks up 9 Electoral Votes in a situation where now Every Vote matters. If one Candidate had picked up all the
electoral votes cast so far, he would still need 19 to win.

Gore is shot back into the race and funbets reflects it subtly. Notice the increase in volume and the lowest ask.
8:40 PM - AL GORE AND GEORGE W. BUSH HAVE BOTH TAKEN ELECTORAL VOTES FROM MAINE
Maine is one of two states (There is also Nebraska) which splits it's electoral votes

HIS ELECTION OBSERVER IN FLORIDA!
12:24 PM, NOV 9 - RECOUNT IN PROGRESS, WITH 38/67 COUNTIES REPORTING, BUSH LEADS BY 830 VOTES! (This recount does not include
overseas absentee ballots, which do not have to be in for 10 days after the election, (November 17, 2000)
Even should Bush win the recount there is likely to be a legal challenge. It has come to light that apparently under Florida law that the
punch-holes which are used to mark the ballots must be TO THE LEFT of the NAMES of the CANDIDATES. In this case there were names to the
left and the right!
Pat Buchanan doubts the votes cast for him in Palm Beach were for him, and that they were actually ment for gore, since the tremendous number of
votes he recieved is five times the votes he recieved in a more conservative county with five times as many voters, since Palm Beach is a very
Liberal, Jewish county, and Pat Buchanan is often accused of anti-semitism. He said that he also does not think that the 19,000 some
discounted ballots that were cast with both his name and Al Gore's name selected were ment for him at all.
12:34 PM - NOVEMBER 9th
BUSH LEADS GORE WITH 45/67 COUNTIES REPORTING BY 795 VOTES!
I'm moving this reporting to November 9, 2000 now, because it's getting a little long.
