The NYTimes front page headline: "Bush Appears to Defeat Gore; Hairbreadth Electoral Vote; Hilary Clinton Goes to Senate".
The subtitle to that article: "Florida is decisive". How true that was, we would only learn later.
A poll conducted by the Voter News Service showed that about a fourth of the voters "rated honesty a more important consideration than experience or an understanding of the complex issues of the day... those people tended to vote for Mr. Bush".
What will this year's exit polls show?
