Mr Mark ["Ahem"] Steyn is a REPUBLICAN Canadian! Which is why he is also protected under the Endangered Species Act.

Well, the Minnesota memorial gave us the religious Left: they dont believe in God,
they believe in politics; the Democratic party is their church, Wellstone their latest
martyr, and the campaign a crusade. They couldnt have been any freakier if theyd
been speaking in tongues.
LOL!!! That last line is a beaut.
I also was "as wrong as Steyn".
And I was sort of with the Republicans that wanted "equal time" after the
Wellstone send-off/political rally.
In retrospect, the RNC should have PURCHASED airtime to re-air the spectacle a couple of times.
Having been in Minnesota a few times, my naive guess is that the reason Mondale lost
is that some voters simply said "if I vote for Mondale, the rest of the country will
will think we really are as nutty as what they saw on TV last Tuesday night".

It wasn't reporting wrong information about the good guys losing, they feared reporting the truth about the leftists and what that would do to the elections in the west. That's right about the good guys winning. I don't know if they feared affecting the west or they just couldn't believe their eyes. The software had to be messed up. NOT!

I got a peek at some of those VNS numbers in mid-afternoon before they tossed em in the garbage and they had Liddy Dole losing to Clinton flunkey Erskine Bowles and Governor Huckabee losing to a fearsome Ozark Dem female called Jimmie-Lou Fisher, and Wayne Allard trailing in the Rockies by double digits. That's consistent with what Drudge was reporting thos VNS exit polls said. So this apparently really is what VNS was reporting. What made them decide to withdraw the numbers?

"both parties have so gerrymandered the House districts that theyre essentially one big incumbent-protection racket."
This is the thing that most pisses me off!

I am starting to think that VNS has a political agenda -- a left-wing one. They report doom and gloom for the GOP early in the evening and then a bunch of western region Repubs (admittedly dummies)get discouraged from voting. I can't help but thinking if VNS was being reported, like it was in 2000, the results might have been very different.

Insane cult...hastily exhumed Walter Mondale...Mark Steyn aka the "Quote-o-matic".
Does this guy do stand up comedy too? What a great writer. Has anyone here ever seen him on television? Wouldn't you like to see him up against Carville, Begala, or Mcauliffe?

essentially one big incumbent-protection racket." It all comes down to technology. In the good old days the pols didn't know quite so precisely what the implications of their district-line drawing would actually be. To go by the GA experience of the Democrats, tho, maybe the tech isn't what they thought it was! The thing about Gerrymandering is, tho, that the more seats you try to make for your people, the less safe you can make each one. Trying for 4 seats was greedy, they now wish they had settled for 3 safe seats and a sure loser. But there's no way to prevent the Gerrymander game. What criteria would you institute to prevent it? Only at-large voting would do it.

Right now, we aint trending anything: were a solidly Republican state and, even weirder, weve got Republican governors in our sissy-boy border states of Vermont and Massachusetts. I just love Steyn...he realyy has a way with words.
