"Having views and expressing them is a dangerous thing"
Tristram Shandy

ABC News political director Mark Halperin says not voting is "a sacrifice that any sane and rational reporter should make." He tells Hugh Hewitt: "I don't vote, because I think that just opens up the question of how can I say I'm being objective, and fighting for truth, if I'm making a decision about who to vote for in a presidential race. ...What my views are, are not important, and just like I said on not voting, I think having views and expressing them is a dangerous thing. I have opinions and thoughts, but I think talking about them is only bad for America." || Letters: What do you think about Halperin's comment re MSM and the military?

4. He just doesn't want to even out the "reporters vote Democrat" polls
Besides, How do we know he doesn't vote?
