Academia still fixated on November 2

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- John Kerry conceded defeat more than two weeks ago, and President Bush has already revamped his Cabinet. But as states certify final election returns, an academic debate over their accuracy is heating up.

None of the experts examining the returns has discovered voting anomalies significant enough to have swung the election.

Despite Internet-circulated speculation that Bush's victory was somehow stolen or rigged, the incumbent's clear margin in the popular vote count is much wider than any of the problems reported to date -- be they voting technology failures, problems with provisional ballots or partisan shenanigans.

"We conclude that there is no evidence, based on exit polls, that electronic voting machines were used to steal the election for President Bush," researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said in an influential report based on early unofficial returns in Florida.

Still, many Americans who mistrust e-voting have seized on the exit polls, wondering whether something nefarious might explain what happened on November 2.

Early in the day, exit polling suggested Kerry was heading for a close win in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania; by day's end, Kerry had won Pennsylvania but Bush had comfortable margins in both Florida and Ohio.

1. hey! it's been promoted to 'speculation'

That's a step above "conspiracy theories," I think.

3. Yup- you know them blue states folks and them educated Dems..

Always trying to question reality... One day they will understand that WE ARE THE MORAL MAJORITY.

4. Sometimes I wish I wasn't intelligent...

because Bush supporters seem SO happy. :shrug:

[Starlight]

5. I don't know if I'd call it happy...

They've always seemed sort of brain dead to me. They get that "deer in the headlights" look when current events are mentioned. Then they smile inanely & blurt out "I like Bush. He's doing a good job." :silly:

[txindy]

6. They always seem very angry, to me. Ignorant and angry.

With a side dish of "Shut your face!" ;) It's unAmurkan to be happy, you know. Must be sinnin' to be happy. :eyes: KoolAid. Reservoirs of it. You can see it sloshin' around behind their eyeballs.

7. I thought that stuff sloshing around

behind their eyeballs was shit. Since they are so full of it.

But... I could be wrong.

:P

[txindy]

8. You could be right!

I don't look too closely. Too busy watchin' my back, wooden stake in one hand and a string of garlic in the other. I wouldn't want to be surprised if one of them went all 'Evil Undead' on me! That reminds me, where IS Zell Miller these days?
