A fireworks display on election night makes no sense unless you're on the west coast. It would have been ridiculous to have this event scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern Time when the polls are still open in many states.

If nothing else, this tells me that the Clinton campaign originally thought they'd effectively be declared the winners early in the evening, but aren't so confident about that anymore. I suspect Pennsylvania and Michigan are now making them very, very nervous.

I would not be surprised if the networks called the election for Hillary with a very small percentage of the vote in. I still expect when all the votes are in we have a Trump win. I will hang in to the end.

I think it is even worse than that. Maybe a 9:30 display would be considered too early. But.....if they knew that they were going to win, then they could just delay the display until 11:00 pm or so. No big deal if they have to delay it.

HOWEVER, for them to cancel the fireworks display in its entirety over 1 day out really says something about the campaigns internal polls. I think it is clear to them that it is a lost cause.

Look at the body language of the candidates and staff today. Right about now, will be able to see one with confidence and one with dejection.
