FOX NEWS has called Ohio for Obama.
Open champagne. Smoke'em if you got'em.
Bruce,
Until Obama flips a Bush state, PA doesn't matter. PA is a Kerry state.
So, no, we don't get to celebrate yet.
We still know nothing yet. All Kerry-Bush states are still Kerry-Bush states.
Except that we do know that McCain is underperforming Bush in key counties in IN, VA, and especially Florida. This is significant if the trends continue.
They did this in Virginia too.
Thanks for linking to this, I agree with B. Ross, above, that the BBC is off.
What a lot of commentators (I don't just mean on this blog entry, but in general) seem to miss is that Islam has often, throughout its history, embraced adaptability. The hadiths were an aspect of that adaptability, not used as canon, but as a way to let Islam grow. This is even more true with sharia - yes, it's strict, and it's supposed to be because it gets paired with fiqh, which is innately flexible. Together, they achieve a pretty harmonious balance and let Islam grow over time.
But Islam, like Christianity, has always had a pull from those who would be flexible and those wanting to revert to their conception of a Bedouin mentality.
Anyway, now I have making light on RSS, so ... hooray!
