"This is the best election night in history," says Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic National Committee chairman and designated carnival barker. It is just before 8 p.m., which may be recalled as the high point of the evening for John Kerry. McAuliffe is bounding into the lobby of the Fairmont Copley Plaza, home to the Kerry-Edwards "victory" celebration and a mob of Kerry lovers -- or, more to the point, Bush haters. They are ecstatic, even though no network has called any battleground state for anyone, exit polls have fluctuated all day and no responsible neutral party is predicting anything.
It most certainly was Terry. Thanks for all your help in making it so.
