The reporters at the time were saying "well this is odd, but the President wants to make a statement". All the Bushies were sitting around on a big hideous sectional couch. It was very creepy. Bush looked into the camera and said something to the effect of "I just want everyone to know that I think we're going to win". Immediately after that the reporters started saying "We're hearing that there may be problems with the exit polls in Ohio". The whole episode made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
