"Shortly before the debate began, Newsweek national editor Jon Meacham suggested on MSNBC that journalists are tired of Bush being in the lead, and so will try to narrow the race. Meacham foresaw "the possibility that President Bush has peaked about a month too early. Because we all need a narrative to change." Chris Matthews asked: "Is that your prediction?" Meacham replied: "I think it's possible that we're gonna be sitting around saying, 'Well you know Kerry really surprised us.' Because in a way the imperative is to change the story." "
Nuff said?
Yup!
Ah hah! So Newsweek even admits it. I am a little surprised since what little I saw of Jon Meacham made it appear he was trying to be fair. He didn't seem to be a Kerry booster, like Eleanor (gee you're NOT swell-anor) Clift is. ;-)
So if the previous poll of Bush up by 11 is inaccurate, and the current poll of Kerry up 2 also is off the mark, then maybe we can split the difference and say Bush leads by 6 or so. Sounds like a good margin to me.

Good GOD. This seems to me to be an unbelievable admission...am sure there's a transcript of this...we need to get this out to FOX...Drudge...Sean...Rush...
