It was a case of things being too close to call, early prognostications being wrong, and a major newspaper (ONE major newspaper) jumping the gun on one edition (ONE edition). It's more of a "Gore beats Bush" situation than a Goldwater-grade blowout.

It was an upset, to be sure, but Truman wasn't coming back from 9 points down in the polls.
