The problem is not new -- in every presidential election since 1988, exit polls have overstated support for Democrats nationally -- but the discrepancy in 2004 was more pronounced than in previous years.

Back in the '70s, on "Peanuts", Linus was running for class president...

Lucy: "HEY BLOCKHEAD, WHO ARE YOU GONNA VOTE FOR?"

Lucy: "WELL, YOU BETTER!!!"

Lucy (to Linus): "My poll shows that you have a hundred percent lead."

Linus (to himself): "These polls scare me."

If I wasted as much time as you do finding dirt on a certain political party I would be one lonely pathetic man.

Bush won and all us "Liberals" as you have so "liberally" branded us have accepted him as the president of this fine nation and the ones who haven't are destined to lead a pathetic life pondering over something they can't ever change yet still feel inclined to dwell on. I'm willing to bet there are even a few republicans who can't let it go, maybe even republicans right here on our own message board that insist on beating a dead horse.

In all fairness to XJ, its really not that hard. I am going out on a limb and going to say the XJ typed "www.cnn.com" in his web browser and then clicked on "Politics". About as many mouse clicks you made to view the political threads that you are currently bashing. Did you think we were talking about skiing in here?

I would debate that "liberals" have accepted Bush....in fact I don't know of one person that is liberal that argues with me about it....I think you're the first one....if you call yourself liberal that is.

Yes, I visit cnn.com too among other sites. Really not that hard. Do I need a recap of everything I read with an agenda and an emoticon from XJibb? No.

Thought this forum was for political views and expressions, not journalistic regurgitation.
