Hard to believe that she could say that Republicans are not as ferocious as Democrats. This is the party of Nixon that we are talking about. Such a nice unbiased, informative piece!!! Jeez, Mark. If that is great journalism....Let me weigh in again on fairness, something that should be present in great journalism. Fairness would demand that she present her suspicions as a possibility, completely unsupported by facts. or fairness would demand that she find facts to back up her suspicions. I may be suspicious (I am not BTW) that the Bush lead is a product of thievery by a Republican Governor and Sec'y of State in the grand old tradition of the party of Nixon, but I would never present that as anything but a possibility unless I had the facts. I just cannot believe the cynicism of that article and she presents it as a donkey in the living room as if it is so obvious that she need not support it with facts. The facts are that Gore wants a handcount. Bush's team has presented this as being more risky of unfairness than the machine count. Gore's team has presented the belief that the reliance on machinery seems unfair when we can get more evidence as to who actually voted for whom from people counting by hand. I see nothing that outrageous in either position and I see no reason to lower oneself to such vindictive accusations as theft. It seems a reasonable issue to argue to me. Personally, I find it hard to make up my mind which is fairer. What I suspect, although I have no facts to support it is that most people just want their guy to win and they are doing everything in their power to make it happen. Most people really do not care what is fair. They just want to see their guy win and they argue that he should win because it's fair. That is really sad IMO. MY OPINION ONLY.
