>>I really have to admire the effectiveness of the constant conservative whining about a "liberal media", for which there is no evidence

Do you and partisan Liberal Dem Dan Rather ever disagree? The NYTimes is renown as a partisan Dem paper. And I'm not just talking the editorial page. Every study of the major media has found profound Liberal bias. You can deny the Sun too, but that won't stop it from rising.

It has been documented that the networks held Bush states and projected Gore states in similar situations ahead of Bush states. As for FL, Pat Caddell and others confirmed that when you look at voting patterns and history that the networks early call in FL - before the polls had closed in Bush's strongest part of the state - that it cost Bush tens of thousands of vote in FL alone. The early call for Gore in FL had a similar effect in the West.

>>That's an odd thing to say, considering that Bush 43 was instrumental in running Bush 41's 1988 campaign

That's an odd thing to say considering that the campaign referred to was in 1992 - in 1988 Bush ran as a Reagan Republican - something both Bush43 and McCain did in 2000. Bush41 had to run on his own Liberal record in 1992 and he lost big to Clinton, a non-entity in normal times.
