RED STATE ECHOING WHITE HOUSE/BC SOURCES [11/02 06:45 PM]

About a half hour back, I posted word that a senior Bush campaign official was saying, "Ohio is won, Florida is won, and Pennsylvania is tied." Then Shannon Coffin noted a White House source saying, "Confident that Bush will win OH and FL, that he will roll in WVa (ten points?) and that Mel Martinez will carry Florida."

Now some unnamed source is telling Red State is saying "it is over. Bush won. Ohio and Florida are secure."

Folks, we didn't like this when the networks did it in 2000, and so I would urge anyone who is still thinking of voting to go out and do it, whether the buzz is your guy is up or not. The GOP-heavy panhandle is voting until 7 central standard time, 8 pm Eastern. So there is no reason to not vote, no matter who you support.

UPDATE: Middle Cheese checks in again. "Just checked in with former colleagues in the White House and on the Bush-Cheney campaign. They are confident that they will win both Ohio and Florida."

He also says that the GOP has a list of documented Democratic voter intimidation cases longer than your arm. Or, longer than a John Kerry speech. Or, longer than John Edwards spends fussing with his hair. You get the idea.
