Ken and Ralph Reed were invaluable on election eve... When Drudge came on Sean's show, and started reading the poor exit poll results, Sean spoke to Reed on the ground in Fl. Reed said that Drudge is absolutely wrong, that they've EXCEEDED their election expectations, and that they would win Fl. Mehlman did the same exact thing on Ohio, confidently predicting that we would definitely take it. They're both excellent.

Liz Cheney did the same thing. Which puts the lie to the nonsense that the campaign believed the false exit poll numbers.

When Rove said later that he felt sick when hearing the numbers for the first time, I'm sure he meant over the depths the opposition was willing to go to.
