This from MSNBC "after 2 a.m., when the major news outlets, including NBC News, MSNBC Cable and MSNBC.com, declared that Florida’s 25 electoral votes had put Bush over the top.
For more than an hour and a half, Bush’s supporters celebrated in Austin, Texas, while Gore’s consoled one another in the rain in Nashville, Tenn.
Then, at 4 a.m. ET, the news outlets retracted their projections that Bush had won, setting off wild celebrations in Tennessee. Shortly beforehand, Gore called Bush in Austin to withdraw the congratulations he had telephoned to the governor earlier. Bush communications director Karen Hughes said Bush found Gore’s behavior “unbelievable.”
Across the country, several newspapers stopped their presses to adjust front pages to reflect the sudden changes."

Ha Ha...What a dick!
