Contrary to claims being made this morning by the Bush campaign, this election is not over.

Remarks By Chairman Bill Daley
NASHVILLE -
I have some news to share with you tonight.
And let me say: I’ve been in politics for a long time. But there’s never been a night like this one.
Just an hour or so ago, the TV networks called this race for Governor Bush.
It now appears that their call was premature.
I want to be very clear about this: according to information supplied by the Secretary of State of Florida, with 99.9 percent of the vote counted, there is a margin of only 1,200 votes out of millions cast – with about 5,000 votes left to be counted.
This is significant for a very important reason: under Florida State law, this triggers an automatic recount.
As everyone in America knows, this race has come down to the State of Florida.
And without being certain of the results in Florida, we simply cannot be certain of the results of this national election.
I want to add that Vice President Gore and Senator Lieberman are fully prepared to concede and support Governor George W. Bush if and when he is officially elected President.
But this race is still too close to call – and until the recount is concluded and the results in Florida become official, our campaign continues.
So I want to thank you all, on behalf of the Vice President, for waiting out here so late tonight – and we hope to have you all back here very soon.

Today, the Washington Post wrote that Bush is "propos[ing] that for many years the government run two retirement systems at once.
