The 2004 election will be the high-water mark of the liberal media.

A misused phrase; I'd say their high-water mark -- their period of greatest stature -- was when we were pulling out of Vietnam. Maybe he meant "last stand," which is what I'm hoping it'll be.

I tend to think that men like Dan Rather look at this election as their last chance at a big score. A lot of the people in leadership roles at the networks and papers made their careers on vietnam and watergate as young reporters.

They feel the need for a big score before they retire or die.
