where does an electoral manipulation start? It starts with the Voters News Service. Why the networks blindly follow everything they say is beyond me. It seemed that people who were following along on the internet were following a different election than the one on TV. I don't think Lieberman gave Gore that much of a boost. Bush's numbers were artificially high, and Gore announced his pick for VP shortly before the convention, when a spike in his numbers is expected anyway. Lieberman was seen as a bold pick, so Gore may have gotten points for doing something out of the ordinary. I agree that the circus we're seeing now is an effort to de-legitimize a Bush presidency before it gets started.
