On the electoral college, the maps I've seen, including one I saw yesterday (in Human Events, granted, hardly an objective source, wish I could afford the Hotline from the National Journal) show a GOP sweep through the South except Tenesssee, most of the rustbelt, the West, except California. Only in the Northeast, by these projections, does Gore have a chance.
A telling detail in the NYT this morning- only 51% of the delegates to the Demo convention thought Gore was sure to win. When your cadre thinks and feels you are a turkey, watch out.
