No source. This statement was based purely on my memory of personal observations and impressions at the time. I remember being upset with Bush at that time. As another poster indicated in Message 54, perhaps I was duped by the media coverage of the two campaigns. But I seem to remember Bush heading back to his ranch for a day off during the final weekend before the election. Meanwhile, I distinctly remember the coverage of Al Gore's pre-dawn rallies in Florida, etc, and how he was not getting any sleep, etc. I will try to find a confirming source this evening - I'll post if I find something.

And I'll try to find something, too. I do seem to remember Bush going to the ranch, but I thought it was a week or so before. We'll both check to get the facts right, okay?
