Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

And it all comes down to this. The battle between President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry will culminate Tuesday as ballots are cast. And while television anchors and pundits adjust themselves and wax punditry, there'll be the analysing of results all around, tallying up and distributing Electoral College votes.
