Calling Florida early
Does calling Florida for Gore before polls close really hurt Bush? Wouldn't Gore supporters be less inclined to vote if they knew Gore had already won their state? Likewise, isn't a Bush supporter more inclined to vote fearing Gore's win?
Actually, I could see how a Bush supporter might think there's no point if Gore's win is so imminent that it is announced on TV, but I feel that the two group's disinterest in voting would cancel each other out.
