IT’S OVER: THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE
GEORGE BUSH IS WINNING BIG, LEADING IN THE POPULAR VOTE and also pulling in enough electoral votes. Congratulations to my Republican friends. A huge number of people turned out and want this President. Tom Daschle seems to be going down to defeat.
HUBRIS ON ALL FRONTS: DEMS NEED TO REFLECT
TONIGHT, I ATTENDED THE D.C. GATHERINGS OF BOTH the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee, as well as two other good parties. When I left my house tonight, I thought Kerry had won — based on exit polls, gossip, spin, Zogby, and others in the DNC and RNC with whom I have spoken….
THE NELSON REPORT: REALLY, REALLY GOOD GOSSIP

JOHN ZOGBY HAS LAID IT ON THE LINE SAYING BUSH WILL LOSE tonight, and decisively. . .sort of. Every wise sage in the media whom I have heard from tonight has said to tread carefully on this exit poll stuff. Florida is real close they say.
IF NUMBERS HOLD, KERRY WINS 304-227-7
My count has Kerry at 304 electoral college votes; Bush at 227; and Iowa still tied. Obviously, there is a dangerous, slippery slope in putting too much faith in exit poll data. But there it is….so far.
