BATTLING SPIN DOCTORS

I just saw Susan Estrich on Fox. Having once been in the position of having to spin a lost election (as Media Advisor to Gordon Humphrey's gubernatorial campaign in NH in 2000) I sensed her anguish. She was bristly and tight. Does she know the numbers in the exit polls are not matching the real results, somewhat like 2000?

On the other hand, Ken Mehlman, who works for the President was exuding confidence in his interview on CNN just a few minutes before Estrich went on Fox. The information that might be making the difference is the actual numbers coming out of Florida. Right now it appears that Bush is winning counties he did not carry in 2000.
