I'm surprised that none of the posters noticed this little gem from the article: "Recall that the 2000 ballot ended up a debacle. It came down to Florida and left the American public hanging for more than a month before a historic Supreme Court decision ended the recounts, giving the race to Bush. He won by just 537 votes in Florida. The Fox News Effect, the study calculates, could account for more than 10,000 of the votes cast in the state."

Left unsaid is the fact that the news media made many recounts in Florida after the election and all of them found without any doubt that Bush won the state fair and square. But the usual media take when they write about it is that it was that nasty Supreme Court which prevented a real recount.

Or how the race in FL was called before the polls were closed? I don't think that conservatives will fall for that again any time soon.
