Please remember that in the 1980 debate CBS, with Rather and Cronkite, ABC with Peter and NBC with Tom all declared that Carter had clearly won the debate. Brokaw had debate experts saying that it was very clear that Carter had bested Reagan.

ABC even reported that their own poll showing Reagan a big winner was not accurate.

But the debate held just 10 days before the election shifted Regan from a dead heat to a huge electoral college victory.

The media was calling that election a tie when Jimmy Carter steped to the microphone in plains Georgia to conceed to Ronald Reagan.

If media opinions and bias really counted.. Jimmmy Carter would have defeated Ronald Reagan in 1980.

I urge everyone to have confidance in the American Voters. Today I learned that the Democrats own polls show Bush ahead here in Ross County, Ohio by a margin of 2 to 1. Clinton won Ross County twice. Now the Democrats own polling is showing this county to be Bush Country.

As usual, great post.

What you say is true, but they just keep on trying(the elite media) You would think that somewhere along the line they would get the message. It reminds me of the story of the Washington elite, who after Reagans great victory, said "how could he have possibly have won, I do not know any one who voted for him"

That's comforting, if true, as all we've heard is he must win Ohio if he wants to remain President and his lead was significant. Foxnews or some other outlet announced the poll tightening in Ohio and USA Today confirmed it yesterday which upset me to no end.
