First early key is 7 pm, when the results for Virginia and New Hampshire come in. If New Hampshire goes to Bush, it will be a long night for Kerry. If Bush barely wins Virginia, it may very well be a long night for Bush. Ohio coming in at 7:30 is of course the first BIG win/loss for the candidates, although I have a bad feeling that Ohio is the Florida of 2004.
