"It takes a little of the suspense out of it."

Dan Horn reports

The delay in election returns turned Schmidt's campaign party into a low-key affair, at least in the early evening.

Instead of being glued to results scrolling across the TV, campaign workers munched pizza and talked casually at tables set up beneath "Schmidt For Congress" signs and large photos of George Bush and Dick Cheney.

The TV was tuned to Entertainment Tonight and, later, a police drama.

"It takes a little of the suspense out of it," said Allen Freeman, Schmidt's campaign manager. "But these people have worked their tail ends off, so this is an opportunity to get together and relax."

He said emotions will start running high as 9:30 approaches, and the results start rolling in. Because of the delay, many expect a large percentage of the results to come in quickly, rather than trickling in over the course of the evening.

"Normally you get to watch those results move in," Freeman said. "Now the board of elections just releases the numbers and you'll know."
