In 2000, Bush internals looked so good the last week, he actually stopped campaigning.
I don't care what the internals show, I think it's great that he's still campaigning.
Despite those vaunted 2000 internals, he lost the popular vote and barely won in the EC. I'd rather he keep on running hard until the last minute.
Nobody has stopped campaigning. Quite the contrary, this time, everything has been built around a giant crescendo in these last hours. It's gonna be a BIG win.
Funny, I remember him on the trail right up to the end...
Not completely. And let's note that some GOP strategists have estimated that the Florida Panhandle would have turned out 50,000 votes for Bush if not for the "early call" debacle. I think that's high, so let's say they're off by 80%...that would mean a Florida win by about 10,500 points.
If his internals were telling him that, the only reason they were off is because the media screwed up.
