3. This was the point I tried to make earlier that...

rural, uneducated folks elected Bush....but I also thought that I heard that 60% of people that voted for Kerry had a college degree compared to 30% for Bush...but CNN has a different stats like 53% didn't have college education and voted for Bush.

But CNN has really lost any balance they had. I guess its too profitable being a Faux wannabe.
