That was my first thought, but my understanding is that Newsweek was given full access to both campaigns -- on the condition that they could not report any of these minute details until after Election Day.<<<

Evan Thomas was writing a book about Kerry's ascent to the Presidency. It was to be called "Election 2004 How Kerry Won And What You Can Expect In The Future" but now Amazon has pulled it. Here's the promo they were running:

"An extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at the 2004 Kerry presidential victory reported by Newsweek's premier political reporters, including bestselling biographer Evan Thomas."

There's still a link up at the publisher's site though and it's still touting a Kerry victory.
