Unlike the fateful election night of 2000 when they waited for the results that never came, this one was going well and the President, who hovered close enough to the television to get static cling, was enjoying it. His strategist Karl Rove was perched on the edge of an armchair, double-thumbing e-mail messages into his Blackberry when the call came in from Lloyd Smith, manager of Jim Talent's campaign against Senator Jean Carnahan in Missouri.
