November 19, 2004, their backers will give them a couple of weeks to whine about the election results before pulling the plug.

Concur. But my bet is that they'll pick a more auspicious date than just any mid-month Friday to cease their *historic* operation. My bet is that they'll either run it to the last day of the month, [Tuesday/30th] the final Friday for billing of advertisers and contractural reasons [Friday/26 NOV] or the anniversary of the assassination of their chosen martyred saint Kennedy on 22 NOV 1963, a monday this year.

Since the Kennedy assassination anniversary is the closest to yours and has the most historical import, I'll go with that one. But it'll more likely come to a close on a Friday.
