Shut up already, CNN. Bush is no Reagan and Kerry is no Gore.
Edited on Fri Oct-01-04 11:47 AM by girl gone mad
CNN says none of the polls showing Kerry won matter, because Gore won the early polls in 2000 and Reagan lost the polls in 84.

Bush didn't charm like Reagan, and Kerry didn't sigh like Gore.

Stop it already. You can't rewrite history.

Curiosity got the better of me.

I can't believe how blatant they were. Worse than FOX.

3. I turned off CNN
after about 15 minutes this morning. Then MSNBC went off after about 10 minutes. I'm so tired of these "news" organizations telling me what to think and how to vote.

On the up side, I'm saving energy! :evilgrin:

5. CNN is the Pepsi to Fox's Coca-Cola.
First there was Coca-Cola, and people lapped it up.

Then there was Pepsi. To compete with Coke, Pepsi was made stronger and more intense.

CNN has really outdone itself. They are now bigger whores than Fox. Bravo!

By this point after the first Bush/Gore debate, it was already spun that Gore lost.

FACE IT, YOU BUSH BLOWERS... YOUR HOLY CHIMP GOD WAS REVEALED TO BE THE FALSE IDOL THAT HE IS. You can only convince yourself so much that the turd you're eating is a chocolate bar.

7. Reagan was like 20 points ahead of Mondale in 1984
The debates were irrelevant because the race was a blowout. Plus, in 2000 neither Gore nor Bush were incumbents. a challenger besting an incumbent in a race that's still close is big. Remember 1980?
