6. I thought Slate was a democratic leaning site?
Why would they say stuff like that. I'm so sick of this crap!

11. Well, Slate is owned by NBC.
Which is owned by GE.

So no matter what face they put on, they're not liberal.

20. Look again.
Nearly everyone there said they're voting for Kerry.

They are NOT right-wing. This "tie" business is merely to attract attention and foster discussion.

22. Read their articles.....
Just because they're voting Kerry doesn't mean they're 'liberal'.

They've skewed a lot of their articles toward the right.

4. Of all of the things I'm worried about
an EV tie is not one of them.

21. Actually, I think your map is conservative. Ugg, not one of my words.
I guess all we can do is wait and see.

9. Everyone's saying stuff like that to be clever.
A tie is almost as likely as me voting George Jr.

All these media outlets want ratings, ratings, ratings. This will get them a lot of hits and nothing more.

12. Slate is a meritless site authored by techonerds without
common sense or sense of right and wrong. They aren't funny either.

15. I'm sticking with Kerry 311 to Bush 227
Kerry gets the whole NE from Maryland up and the whole West Coast, plus Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, New Mexico, and Florida. Oh, and I almost always forget Hawaii.
