Man, I know I overslept today, but I didn't know it was by THAT much.

Anyone have any idea what's going on? Check California Yankee for more.

UPDATE Aww, too bad. It looks like the AP has pulled the story. The link that we have above, as well as all of the links that C. Yankee has listed, now point to a message saying that the page is "unavailable."

UPDATE 2 Reader David alerts us that the AP has explained the story:

Correction: President Bush Did Not Win Election on October 7
...
The Associated Press tests election results about four times a week leading up to elections, especially one as crucial as a presidential election, to help TV stations and newspapers make sure they are receiving the numbers. The numbers are random with every test; if this error happened a day sooner or a day later, it could've been Senator Kerry or Ralph Nader who was declared the winner.

Oh, and what David says about the "overslept" line is exactly right. :-)
