...Bush had hoped to have a special dinner with his wife and parents and brother Jeb, cherishing the knowledge that the exit polls were telling them everything they wanted to hear. But Bush was already tense when he got to the Shoreline Grill early that evening. As the family members made their way under dim lights to the restaurant, Bush's shoulders were more hunched than usual, his father looked as if he was suffering from an ulcer, and Barbara wore a smile tight as a fist. By then they knew the race was much closer than Rove had promised...
...Happy Warrior is ready to roll. On his way to meet Hillary in Queens, Clinton stopped at the Jackson Hole diner for its renowned Burger Deluxe (peppers, onions and mushrooms with a side of fries), signed a T shirt for a waitress's daughter and posed with everyone from grill man to busboy to fellow patrons.

Many of the questions were similar to the ones asked on Tuesday, some eliciting the same word-for-word responses...
...America's Dream Team, holed up in a "4.5-star," ordinary-looking hotel far from their traditional place at the center of the universe. The fanciest eating establishment around is a Pizza Hut (which means Seattle Supersonics forward Vin Baker opts to sweat over a hot barbecue on grill nights). The team practices in a local recreation center, where they politely dodge the gray-haired ladies who come in for a spot of exercise...
