"The moment from that election night I will never forget came earlier in the evening, after the networks had first--correctly--projected the state of Florida for Gore. The cameras cut to a hotel room in Texas. There sat George W. with his father, the former President, and his mother, Barbara. The old man appeared cool as a cucumber, even though it looked like curtains for Sonny. A reporter asked young Bush what he thought about the outcome.
'I'm not...conceding anything in Florida,' Junior piped up, semicoherently. 'I know you've all the projections, but people are actually counting the votes...The networks called this thing awfully earlier and people are actually counting the votes have different perspective so...' It was an odd moment in that crazy night of election result coverage. The Bushes, with their relaxed smiles, looked like a family of cats that had just wolfed down a bunch of canaries--as if they knew something we didn't."
