Reply #14: Every vote counts [View All]

[Jack113]

In the history of editorial boo-boos, few can out-goof the Chicago Daily Tribune's "Dewey Defeats Truman" front page in November 1948. That classic humiliation is imprinted on the collective journalistic psyche, not just because a major paper miscalled a presidential election on the night - which might even have been forgotten in time - but because in St Louis the next day it was gleefully held aloft by the victorious Harry Truman for the photographers, and thus for history

We have to remember that just because it looks like a sure win for democrats in this years election we all need to get out and vote and not just take it for granted. Every vote counts and we need them all.
