Thoughts on the media...and the popular vote

Fox News Channel and MSNBC have both called Ohio for Bush. Reuters, CNN,CBS, and ABC are still holding out hope for Kerry. ABC called Ohio for Bush last night around 1:00 a.m., and Peter Jennings looked like someone slapped his mother when he uttered the bitter words: "We're projecting Bush to win Ohio, so that in effect seals the election." I guess the Kerry folks got a hold of him, because as of right now, they've removed it from their board.

Also...exit polls. Have the MSM learned nothing from 2000? In 2000, exit polls had Gore winning Arizona by 4%. He lost by 6%. They had Gore winning Florida by 3%. He lost, barely. This time, exit polls had Kerry winning my state of FL by 3%...he lost by 5%! Exit polls had Kerry winning PA by a whopping 16%...he won by 6%. Dump exit polls and use raw data, people!

Also, this time Bush won the popular vote, 51% - 48%. Read this and weep, liberals! You cried about a "stolen" election in 2000, and it hasn't resonated in four years! Bush becomes the first president since his father in 1988 to win an actual majority. Bill Clinton, though elected twice, never won a majority: 42% in 1992 and 49% in 1996. Bush won more votes than Clinton did, both times he was elected!

So Gore thought that having the 0.7% popular vote lead in 2000 gave him some leeway in trying to steal Florida...after all, he was just trying to cement his popular vote win with his electoral "win", right? Then tell me how, you stinking hypocrites, does Kerry get a pass by the MSM in his attempts to steal Ohio when he has clearly won neither the popular nor the electoral votes? Hell, he's lost the popular vote by 3.3 million and 3%. But we all know the electoral vote counts, so that's the one that Bush will win by.
