You are right, of course. Of course the people who write the stories are not the highest wattages out there, and sometimes fall for their own hackery. You will remember all of the stories about Bush's intelligence from writers who thought Gore was smart? I can't count how many times I've seen writers refer to Gore's gargantuan intellect.

And all of the cocaine stories from the dim past that were supposed to upset us after 8 years of Clinton, for pete's sake. As if we didn't all remember the seventies. And as if we don't all remember Clinton.

But you are right, it is the independent voter who is at stake, and if anyone is dimmer than the average journalist its the independent voter.

I guess they forgot that Gore flunked out of 2 schools. One was Divinity school. Like Rush said how in the world do you flunk God!!
