Is it over?

Bush may claim victory today. (*) If he does, Kerry may feel obligated to also claim victory because Gore did not in 2000 during that dispute. But will he be so brash?

Bush’s popular majority bolsters his claim to legitimacy. Kerry would have to overcome a 140,000 vote margin in Ohio, and pull out a victory in New Mexico or Iowa.

At this point, nothing strongly suggests that Kerry can do it. It looks over.
