A liberal investigative reporter: Kerry won

Let's get this right. The disqualified machine ballots amounting about 2% of all votes would have gone so overwhelmingly for Kerry that he would have made up a 135,000 deficit. Nevermind, that all the disqualified machine ballots in Florida couldn't make up a difference of a few hundred votes for Gore in 2000.

The stupidity of the left-wing never fails to amaze.

Well, at least he's not bitter.

Greg Palast is the most puke-tastic liberal writers out there!!!

I'm sorry.. I tried but I just wouldn't expend anymore of my time reading past the third paragraph. Still, I bet I can guess how it ends.

Greg Palast's insanity has been well documented in the past.

The solution seems simple enough. All blacks should vote Republican. Then they won't be disenfranchised anymore.

HUh? Duh uh? You mean this is serious? I thought it was a poor attempt at satire.

CNN's exit poll showed Kerry beating Bush among Ohio women by 53 percent to 47 percent. Kerry also defeated Bush among Ohio's male voters 51 percent to 49 percent. Unless a third gender voted in Ohio, Kerry took the state. So what's going on here? Answer: the exit polls are accurate.

Here is where the problem with the argument he builds lies. Using the Exit Polls, especially the earlier ones, as the proxy for total votes is wrong. XP, when it's done correctly, is meant to see voters' behaviors and opinions. Not total votes.

In this year case, the problem is even bigger: the XP, esp. the earlier one, simply cannot be trusted.

They won't be happy untill their cynical canards have destroyed people's trust in democracy.

They're buying this article over at the DUmmie board, in fact every other post over there is about how the Repugs cheated again!

They are about to riot over there, the hatred & violence they are spewing is not to be believed!

[ladyinred]

So we are going to try and start this illegitimate crap again are we?

[kingattax]

LOL...yeah

[OHIOforBUSH]

You have to think these guys are going to try to get a little something going. The next month could be very entertaining. Maybe this is one of the priceless moments. The gift that keeps on giving.

Considering they reviewed Bush's convention speech before he made it, I wonder when he wrote this?
