5. Not one word about the poll MoE.
Sure, polls can be rigged. My current thread on the subject concerning the CNN, AP and FOX Kerry/Bush polls show a clear bias toward Bush when compared to 10 other polls for which I also have monthly data.

FOX and AP do not show Kerry leading Bush in ANY of their monthly polls so far this year.

CNN/Gallup had Kerry up by 8 points in March. And down 5 points in April. How can you trust this poll, especially in light of the wild gyrations it had week to week in 2000?

Other polls, though, have good track records. They include Zogby, ARG, CBS and others. The trick is to know the good ones. And to be leery of the bad ones.

It's no secret that CNN and FOX have been pulling the wool over the eyes of millions of Americans when it comes to concealing the crimes of BushCo. To rig the polls in his favor seems like the logical thing for them to do. Its just whoring by other means.

It is in their interest to keep Bush close to Kerry. That's not conjecture at this point. It is a fact. To deny it at this point in time, after all the evidence of Bush media-whoring by these cable-whores over the last four years, is just plain nuts.
