Shep lives in NYC. I've heard rumors that he plays for the other team...
If you say Shep on election night, you would have no doubts he is a raging democrat.
I do not share in applauding Brit Hume as being fair on election night either. It is clear FOX took the same command from the Kerry Campaign as the other networks and refused to call Nevada for Bush and put him over the top.
Ever since Rathergate, Fox has made a clear left turn.
