President Bush’s campaign is claiming victory in yesterday’s race but as of this morning CNN and other news organizations are saying the race is still close to call. The presidency now hinges on the state of Ohio. Based on ballots cast yesterday, Bush won the state by about 135,000 votes. But the Kerry camp has refused to concede the race because hundreds of thousands of provisional ballots still need to be counted. At 2:30 this morning, Senator Edwards made a brief appearance in Boston vowing that the race was not over. He said, “We will fight for every vote.” Kerry Campaign Manager Mary Beth Cahill added “The vote count in Ohio has not been completed. There are more than 250,000 remaining votes to be counted. We believe when they are, John Kerry will win Ohio.” But three hours later White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card claimed that Bush had an insurmountable lead in Ohio and was certain to win a second term.
