Is a capital gain long or short term if the sale is on the same day, 1 year later? For example, May 22 2007 to May 22 2008?

Capital Gains: Short-Term-one year or less Long-Term-more than one year

It more than one year if it goes by full days, but one year or less if it is my the same hour in the day. My guess is it is long term, but I cannot find any confirmation of my belief.

5/22/07 to 5/21/08 is one day short and gives you short term reporting.

Don't you exclude the day of acquisition? It's not clear in the example given by Zanger if the date of purchase was May 22.
