Here's a good one. Just listening to Pat Buchanan on CNN; he attributes the possible victory of Bush in Florida, to ..... Pat's gall bladder surgery. The way Pat figures it, his surgery cost him [Buchanan] about 3,000 votes in Florida that went to Bush.

Unbelievable,

MOrning TG, Frankly, the bizarity of this election reeeally points to a huge problem I've had with the mainstream media for a long time. That is, they are more interested in being in the entertainment/political editorial business than the FACT reporting business.

I don't have a problem with a shoestore trying sell hamburgers. I do have a problem with a news organization trying to be the creator of entertainment rather than a reporter of the news.

Yes, my faith in Zogby was rewarded. He looks like one of the only national polls to predict that Gore would win the popular vote. POA's final 49-40 bush victory was a POS.
