Who Needs Sleep?

CNN is calling Michigan, Minnesota and Hawaii for Kerry. The total is 249 Bush, 242 Kerry at 2:35 am. Kerry may well get Wisconsin, as well, giving him 252. If he gets Nevada, it would be Kerry 257 to Bush’s 254. Ohio settles it. The question is whether Ohio settles it sometime Wednesday (with Bush pulling ahead so far that the provisional ballots no longer matter) or on November 13.
