I remembered Drudge putting up big headlines that Bowels was beating Elizabeth Dole big time.
Needless to say, Dole won and I was determined to avoid any news at all till my Dubya won!!!
In 1994, Dan Rather declared Texas for Ma Richards right after the polls closed but then backed off with too close to call and didn't call the election until five minutes before Ma gave her concession speech even though Pres Bush had been ahead of her the whole evening. After he finally said Bush had won he lectured us on how could we turn out such a lovely lady and he was almost crying. That was the end of Dan Rather in our House! Rather made a fool of himself then and some things never change! :)
