[Publib] The Day After

I appreciate everyone's optimism that we will in fact have a president
Wednesday morning.  I have my doubts that vote counting will go that well.
Am I the only one has this concern?  I'm forecasting that we won't know who
is president until November 11th.

Or maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe ABC, CBS, FOX NEWS, & all the other networks will
call the election before the polls have closed...
