That was much closer than the totals on election night

If you think a margin of 118,000 versus 136,000 is "much" closer, whatever. I think it is abuse of the English language. Would not a better term be "slightly closer?"

This is so sad. Elections will never again be "over." It's time to move on. Kerry is a pathetic loser. Therayzuh has loads of money to keep recounting.How about recounting Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire while we're at it. Maybe we can find some uncounted Republican ballots.

Dear Torie,

"If you think a margin of 118,000 versus 136,000 is 'much' closer, whatever. I think it is abuse of the English language. Would not a better term be 'slightly closer?'"

I'd call it "modestly closer." A bit more than "slightly," not as much as "moderately."

LOL.

Yes, but that would be unbiased reporting, which the MSM is generally incapable of doing;)
