President Bush will declare his re-election triumph, aides said this morning.
"We will not base our decision on a concession," said adviser Dan Bartlett.
The Associated Press reported, "After winning Nevada, another presidential aide said Bush would soon declare victory."
Do pretend vice president John Edwards and pretend president John Kerry know about this?
Must we dig out our prized official Sore Loserman Crying Towel?
I want to go to bed, when is bush making his victory speech?
Bush Prepares to Declare Re-Election Win
After winning Nevada and pulling within 16 electoral votes of the 270 required for a second term, Bush was laying claim to Ohio's 20 over Kerry's objections. "We will not base our decision on a concession," said Bush adviser Dan Bartlett.

I'm with you. I have a very tiny bottle of champagne ready to open
Let's get this party started so I can go to bed, LOL.
It appears no one is ready to take the plunge. The news organizations that have called Ohio have not called Nevada, while the ones that have held out on Ohio have all projected Bush the winner in Nevada.
I refuse to sleep! Must hear Bush.
Besides a concession, Bush should not wait either for a MSM projecting over the 270 mark, in order to trigger his speech.

I second B's question - I've been up almost 26 hours straight and I want to go to bed too. But I won't sleep until I see the Pres. and Lady Laura.
They are reporting that Kerry senior advisors very glum now....maybe they will concede soon...it is best for the country.
You mean the "next vice-president of the United States," of course. =)
They are in the bed to the left, you wake them up.
Tom Brokaw just said NBS says Bush wins Ohio.
They are conspiring with Teddy Kennedy about what to do.
yeah, that's the ticket: Vice President-elect Bambi.
"Best for the Country" isn't exactly the gold standard when it comes to Hanoi's man on the street.
quite true
Well if NM is a problem, just call IA...let the President take the victory
where is he? what is he waiting for? I think they are nervous about IOWA and NM being stolen, that would leave just NV (I know it has been called) to get him over 270.
