[On the night of the 2000 Presidential election] I stayed up till 1 a.m. or so and then decided that my sleeplessness wasn’t going to ensure that the damn state stayed blue so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Hard habits, however, are hard to break so I left the TV on. Somewhere around 3 a.m. I think I woke up and with blurry eyes saw Peter Jennings talking to George Stephanopoulos and some other guy. I woke up enough to see if any decision had been reached. When I realized that it was still too close to call, I closed my eyes and dropped my head to the pillow. Seconds later I heard Peter Jennings say something like, “You two keep talking while I go over here and put out this fire.”
