ALL FLORIDA OPEN THREAD
Hey, you know it's gotta be both fair and balanced: According to Fox News -- boy, do I love starting sentences that way -- Kerry leads Bush by five points in Florida, and by two points nationally, 48-46 percent.
Funny, but when Bush was leading by two points nationally two days ago, the blurb on their homepage said Bush was winning by 2. Now it calls the results, more generously, "Polarized Electorate." Bush was leading in the Fox poll by five points nationally about a week ago. But I'm sure Fred, Mort, Bill K., Bill O., Sean, Brit and Tony will all lead tonight's commentaries with "Bush is surging" memes anyway.
Facts, as Reagan said, are stubborn things. So why let them get in the way? To be a Republican, you must be willing to ignore all contradictory evidence and blunder ahead. It's more liberating that way. Freedom, if you will, on the march.
