- Brit Hume, anchor at Fox, just insisted that Carl Cameron, Fox's Kerry correspondent, pass on Hume's "warmest regards to his long time friend", Joe Lockhart, KE04 Spinmeister. Hmmm?

-Fox's Martha (?) just uttered phrase "President Kerry" followed by a quick correction.

- David Gregory WH correspondent for NBC, aka "Stretch", reports "Discouragement" at the White House.

- "According to a Washington source, the exit polls that the media supposedly uses as "guidelines" are taking those very seriously. The source says that CNN's White House correspondent John King has told President Bush's handlers that he will not be coming to the President's planned victory speech at Reagan Center down the street from the White House … because he doesn't think there will be one." This is unsubstantiated at this point.

Anonymous sources don't cut it as journalistic fact, but if this is true, expect CNN to hire new pollsters next election. They have been allied with Gallup, and Gallup's polls have been consistently higher for BC04 than any other polling agency, including Fox's pollsters.

- Andrea Mitchell, Alan Greenspan's wife, has commented that all of the Bush Family are at the White House, except Brother Jeb (R-Gov. FL).

At this point, 8:15 pm, Virginia, and both Carolinas are too close to call. These three states, regardless of John Edwards home state, SC, have been strong Republican states in recent elections. That these are TCTC (to close to call) is genuine news.

Finally, NC has gone to Bush. This outcome was expected, but the closeness of this particular race surprised me.
