That's a heck of a lot more votes than libs voting for Buchanan
If we're going to clone - we need about 100,000 of Ann Coulter.

Oh, nononononononono! She and I are simply going to mate and produce prodigious offspring! Hey, we're conservatives; we like doing it the old fashion way.
A lot.
Does this mean that a Liberal who wants to ban non-PC language is a member of the Bleep-ocracy?
Florida does have a recourse, for the future. It is only necessary to enforce the secret ballot laws strictly. That would suppress exit polling and journalism would be denied any basis on which to call the results before the constituted authorities of the state of Florida announce them . . . after, let us hope, the closing of the polls in California--and most certainly after the closing of all the polls in the state of Florida.
Why Broadcast Journalism is Unnecessary and Illegitimate.
I'm curious as to the past. Were the libs behind the early and wrong Florida call for Gore in 2000?
The computer spit the numbers out early.....the only way Gore can win is if Florida goes Dem. And looking at the poll numbers - eastern Florida was a dead heat, western FL was Bush country.
My guess is they had this figured out a week earlier. If Florida wasn't solidly in Gore territory (including the panhandle) - they'd pull the trigger, and use an insider to feed incorrect data to the lib networks (FOX called Bush correctly at 2:00AM)
Well, as you know from the link in my post, when you say "the libs" that includes journalists as a class. I do not see the need for a conspiracy theory when stupidity is an adequate explanation, tho. "Stupidity" in the sense that people very often believe what they want to believe. Stock market did that, didn't it?Reporters wanted to think, and consequently easily believed, both that their poll-watching system was accurate and that Gore was winning. In fact, Gore was losing and their system wasn't telling them so.
Patently their data system was biased by a few points toward Gore, as the quick calls of Gore wins and the s l o w calls of equally wide Gore losses makes manifest.
The lesson I take from that is, not that journalism should call the states quicker for Republicans, but that journalism should not call states at all. Certainly not when the polls are still open in California. And absolutely not when the polls are still open in the state they're calling!!
Broadcast journalism very nearly tipped the election for Gore with that call, and whether it was malicious or not is moot. The FCC did nothing about it, and the Senate committee called in the FCC licensees and said, "If you don't mind, may I ask you a question?" Exactly as if broadcasting were a First Amendment right; if you think it is, try doing it without an FCC license the way you can speak and print without any license! The First Amendment was framed to prevent the government from ever making "some animals [politically] more equal than others," as Orwell put it. The government created the FCC, created broadcasting, by doing precisely that.
...moot?? Why do you say that? Severe punishment would be in order. If they got away with it, we're inviting more brazen behavior.
The "reviews" at Amazon.com prove your point. Of course, I don't for a minute believe those libbies read the book before posting their drivel.
