Re: nathan roland
Oh, that red? I was thinking the redneck kind...
but since you brought it up...Wyoming has a population of just under half a million,
and three electoral votes. SO, if you do the math, you get
apx 166,000 citizens per EV. For GA, it's 8.5 million and 15 EVs,
so that's apx 567,000 citizens per EV. So, you could say that you're
apx 3.4x redder than Georgia, because the Electoral College gives
smaller states more weight than larger states. Make sense?

Debbie: You're correct, there are a few left on Fox who haven't whimped out. I got so mad at them today I wrote them an email and accused them of false advertising. Told them they advertise "we report you decide" and withheld a document story of Kerry's Hanoi connection. Told them they didn't report and we couldn't decide anything....they did it for us morons. Told them they were hyprocritical and that no longer made them unique as far as the other advertising of "fair and balanced". Told them to checkout some blogging websites to see how fed up people were with them and then keep an eye on their ratings.

Make sense? 
I would like to thank you for your profound council on the topic of the Electoral College, rednecks, red states and the population of these two states of our union, for as you may have imagined I stumbled blindly through life without your Über Alles enlightenment.
Regards from Texas,
(34 EV...Bush 59%...sKerry 36%)
P.S. SO, you do the math...as it seems you are far more interested than I in these calculations and extrapolations.  |

Just wanted to add, last few nights I have been seeing ADS FOR CNN ON FOX CABLE . why on earth would they run ads, promoting CNN? Is CNN in the tank that bad? Why would FOX support them? Arent't they in competition? At first I thought I had switched the channel accidently, but NO I was on FOX and they were running a ad promoting CNN.

I saw that ad too, and was rather baffled. But maybe CNN is so desperate for viewers that they will put on ads where people watch, and the Fox people figure they can make money off the ad, whereas Fox viewers will ignore it, otherwise they would already be watching CNN.
This reminds me of a guy who ran a TV ad for the Vietcong before the United States Senate...

Cavuto, Gibson and Hume are all OK, but the rest are about worthless IMHO. Hannity is another story altogether; he's much loved by many of the members here, but I think he's too obviously partisan to be effective; he and Colmes represent entertaining opposites, but not serious news personalities.
But... If you've observed the world of the media and politics for the past few months you may, like me, begin to think that there is a whole lot more blackmail, intimidation, thuggery, etc., at work "out there" than anyone can conceive. And that may be part of the Fox story. |
At the end of the day FOX is all about making money, which is why their news division and their entertainment side are often at odds re: values...I must say they seem to be running a bit scared although they are the best national news out there...  |

Speaking of Cavuto, he had Richard Trumka, the capo di capo of the AFL-CIO, on air this afternoon. It came out that Trumka is Kerry's top choice for Secretary of Labor. Good grief! I thought that Robert Reich was as bad as they get.

Oops, You forgot to mention that, for a change, Kerry backer Trumka got the short end of the talk time. Now THAT is unusual for FOXNews.
Excuse me meant to end with FOXNews, Fair & Balanced. WE report, YOU decide. |

I totally agree. Fox has wimped out. I still like Neil Cavuto and John Gibson too. They both have been fair and balanced. Steve Duecy (sorry if I spelled Steve's last name wrong) is fair also......BUT E.D.....OMG, she flip flops as much if not more than skerry and that IS scarry.  |

| about cnn advertising on fox, msnbc does also, a while back someone asked BOR about this and his comment was their checks don,t bounce and they pay on time so fox welcomes their advertising, they are all in bed together, the only thing we can trust now is the internet |
