Wishin' And Hopin'
McCain adviser Nicolle Wallace: "You learn two things working for John McCain, one is never give up, and two, it ain't over 'til it's over." Wallace said the camp is still waiting for VA, and it has "good internal numbers" in the southwest (NBC).
Rudy Giuliani, on McCain: "It's a longtime friendship, so I'm still hoping for him" (ABC News).
Ex-WH adviser David Gergen, on what the results so far mean for McCain, and whether victory is still within reach for him: "Hard to see one. I think we know two things now. One is that victory is almost within the grasp of Barack Obama, we'll have to wait a little more. But I think it's also been very interesting what John King has been reporting on the county by county, and how many instances, Orlando being the most important, that Obama is doing so much better than John Kerry did four years ago, and McCain is doing worse than Bush. That suggests this could be a very big night for Obama. Not just a win, but a very big win" (CNN).
