<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's almost assuredly over. I'm crushed, but
won't apologize for supporting the "lesser evil"--there was no viable left Dem
in the primaries (unless you count Dean, who was really no more left than
Kerry), and even if you think the Dems should pursue a left-wing version of the
Goldwater strategy (which seems reasonable), it's important to note that the
moderate Nixon came before the radical Reagan.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">P. Diddy worked Cleveland
hard. Cuyahoga County has 1.4 residents, which figures to mean maybe
700,000 voters, if turnout is high. This seems to fit with what CNN is
showing, which is 76 percent of precincts there reporting, with just about
500,000 votes counted. If there are 200,000 votes left in Cuyahoga,
Kerry needs about 130,000 of them to have a chance. It’s damned
close!</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
