"We're Going To Know Early..."
Blogs for Bush

RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie and DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe were just on "Meet The Press" with Tim Russert. The last question they got was "Are we going to know on the night of November 2, who's going to win?"

As expected, they both said we would, but when Terry McAuliffe gave his answer he also said he thinks "we're going to know early." Of course, he also said John Kerry would be the winner.

Early? Why would he say early? Did Terry McAuliffe slip up and confirm what we reported earlier that John Kerry is going to declare victory regardless of the outcome? The DNC and the Kerry campaign keep talking about "not making the same mistakes as Al Gore did in 2000," so it appears that Kerry is prepared to declare victory early in the evening regardless of what the results are, or perhaps even before we know the final results...

"let's consider the longterm effects on of each candidate's party"

i can see in a Kerry win, soc sec gets dumped big time in his lap. he increases contributions up to $120,000 year, lengthens age to qualify and gets blow out for re-election, hillary runs but Rudy Giuliani knocks her out because democrats upset all the young and elderly on soc sec.
