Bill Kristol just said what I've been thinking for a couple hours now: It appears that Bush is going to carry Florida tonight, and we won't have to wait a week for the call. Bush is too far ahead at this point with 94% of the precincts reporting. It all comes down to Ohio now for Kerry. If it goes for Bush, it is over for Kerry. And if Kerry wins Ohio, he will still have to defend Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and Hawaii in order to win.

In other words, the candidate who is facing elimination here is Kerry, not Bush.
