Olbermann: Scholars on the votes

[Harlan James]

A UC Berkeley sociology professor, director of his school's survey research center, is scheduled to conduct a news conference at 1 PM ET today at which his "research team" will report that "irregularities associated with electronic voting machines may have awarded 130,000 - 260,000 or more excess votes" to President Bush in Florida.

Neat article, wanders back and forth a bit, but at least helps keep the controversy alive. We might not overturn the results, but at least we can undercut President Lady Smoocher's credibility.

1. Bush was polling under 50% for cryin' out loud!

Screw the exit polls, many people in the media prior to the election talked about how no inumbent President polling under 50% has ever won a second term. Is this truly the first time in history (stolen or not) that this has happened? Why isn't anyone talking about this?

4. That by itself is not enough

Just because no incumbent was reelected while polling under 50% doesn't mean it can't happen. There were much fewer undecided voters than usual, plus it is also unlikely for a President not to be reelected during a war. Bush may or may not have been reelected based upon fraud, but this argument is not sufficient grounds to suggest fraud.

5. I understand it isn't enough, but to ignore it is a bit odd n/t

2. You cannot undercut Bush's crediblity

Bush can even lie with his mouth closed.
I hope this prof shreds him.
