NO EASY NIGHT. I'm holed up
in Cambridge, of all places, at the Sheraton Commander. Later this
evening I'll be taking part in a panel discussion at Harvard's Nieman
Foundation. Just wanted to check in before moving along.
Earlier this afternoon I met
David
Corn of the
Nation
for coffee near Copley Square, where workers were getting ready for tonight's outdoor party and rally. Like everyone who's hoping
Kerry wins tonight, Corn was optimistic about the early exit-poll
numbers. Still, there's a long way to go.
Zogby
is projecting Kerry the winner, 311 to 213. Take away Florida, and
Kerry's still got 284 - just enough to win. Slate's
numbers - posted 20 minutes
ago - put Kerry slightly ahead in Florida and Ohio, and substantially
ahead in Pennsylvania. Kerry is kicking Bush's ass in Minnesota,
which at one time had been thought to be in play.
For a brief moment this afternoon,
there were indications that Kerry might win easily. That now seems to
be evaporating. At the moment, I'd rather be Bob Shrum than
Karl Rove. (I'd rather be Bob Shrum than Karl Rove even if I were
down by 90 points, but that's another matter.) Still, right now it
looks like this is going to be tight. And a long night stretches
ahead.
