from Pennsylvania doing here
"praying with the Governor of Texas?"
and he whispers in my ear,
"It's about time we got
And I got relaxed very very quickly.
It was a lovely lovely moment.
Are we gonna win, Mr. Ginsberg?
By tomorrow morning
the stains of Bill Clinton
will be washed away
and honor and dignity will finally
be restored to the White House.
Hey, Ben,
did you hear about Palm Beach County?
Revote! The ballot is unfair!
It should be clearer
where you're punching.
I understand.
I want to talk to somebody.
Revote!
Is this what all the fuss is about?
Judge Burton, I've had three friends
call me in a panic
because they think they voted
for Pat Buchanan.
They're very upset.
Theresa, why did you list the candidates
on both sides of the ballot?
to get all the candidates
on one side was very small
and I was worried that the older voters
would have trouble reading them.
We're going to need a lawyer.
The presidential race
is crackling like a hickory fire here.
This promises to be one of the closest
races in American presidential history.
The big prize, the brass ring
for this evening... The state of Florida
A big call to make... CNN announces
that we call Florida
in the Al Gore column.
Al Gore wins the state of Florida.
Florida was supposed
to be George W. Bush country.
And you can bet that Governor Bush
will be madder than a rained-on rooster
that his brother, the Governor,
wasn't able to carry this state for him.
Stand by. Stand by.
What the networks giveth,
NBC news is now taking
Florida out of Vice President Gore's
column.
Waiter, one order of crow, please.
Call the doctor, call the police,
call a psychic.
In Florida, it's tightened up.
All eyes on Florida at this hour.
- This is the answer Florida.
- What the heck is going on in Florida?
Whoever wins Florida won this election.
I apologize.
We're going to make a projection now.
ABC news is now going to project
that Florida goes to Mr. Bush
Bush wins.
Florida goes the presidency is Bush.
That's it. Sip it, savor it...
Unless there is a terrible calamity...
...cup it, photostat it,
underline it in red...
...George W. Bush by our projection
is going to be...
...press it in a book,
put it in an album, hang it on a wall...
- The 43rd president...
- The 43rd president...
The 43rd President of the United States.
At 18 minutes past 2:00 eastern time,
CNN declares that George Walker Bush
has won Florida's 25 electoral votes
and this should put him over the top.
Ladies and gentlemen, listen up!
Al Gore has just called the Governor
and conceded!
