Month: January 2005

…on the election day exit poll travesty.

Via FoxNews:

Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International found that the Democratic challenger’s supporters were more likely than President Bush’s supporters to participate in exit polls interviews. They also found that more errors occurred in exit polls conducted by younger interviewers, and about half of the interviewers were 34 or under.

Read the report, and then decide.

Howard Dean on the road to DNC Chair, via the Washington Times:

Dean has been working to focus his on-the-ground qualifications as much as his broad vision for building a progressive majority in the U.S. political sphere. The former Vermont governor entered the race last week, ending weeks of would-he, wouldn’t-he whispers. Speculation had assumed he would prove too progressive for the post, but Dean appears to be solidifying support through a campaign working delegate to delegate — much like his scheme to win over U.S. voters.

“The Democratic Party will not win elections or build a lasting majority solely by changing its rhetoric, nor will we win by adopting the other side’s positions,” Dean said in a statement officially announcing his candidacy.

Winning over DNC hearts…we already know where their heads are.

I swear…I didn’t make this up.

“Democrats prepare to pepper Rice at grilling”

Completely cheesy.

William Safire in today’s NYT (reg required):

The bloggers are coming! The Bible-thumpers are cursing our secular inhumanism! The plumber judges are plugging our leaks! The Yahoo president ducks our questions and giggles at our gaffes! News is slyly slanted as bias rears its head!

Speaking to his colleagues, Safire believes that mainstream journalism has a future.

John Leo does his field work and discovers how liberals think. He’s dead on.
