"How dare you not skew everything toward the president?"

I'm watching Chris Matthews on a special pre-election Sunday program in which Craig Crawford is calling the polls a statistical deadheat, while Andrea Mitchell (Mrs. Alan Greenspan - and Kerry's rumored to be considering ousting Greenspan's butt which hardly makes Ms. Mitchell neutral) and Matthews keep insisting that when Kerry and Bush both have 47 or 48% in the polls, it's a win for Bush. Huh?

They're saying Osama's tape was a big favor for Bush, citing how Bush's people all came out on Saturday to announce Osama gave Bush a gift in giving that new tape. Again, huh? That tape showed us he's alive, well, perhaps smarter than our current prez, and doesn't seem all that much deterred by our efforts.

If Osama blows up Kentucky on election day, will this also be a gift to Bush? Does anything in the world matter except that Mr. Bush gets re-selected?
