Given the consistent and pronounced difference between Fox News polls and all other reputable polls, and the general....proclivities of the Fox News crew, I've long suspected they've had their foot on the scales, so to speak, in their presidential polling. I've never really had any...

Anyone with a sick fascination with Fox News or a broken remote control knows that Sean Hannity says a lot of things, and a pretty significant number of them aren't.
Nick Kristof's column today is very good, and by my estimation right on just about all counts. As an added bonus, it contains almost no direct or indirect references to the.
A particularly silly post by Josh Chafetz getting into a lather over an accurate letter sent out by the Kerry campaign about an idiotic Hair Club For Growth ad being featured on George Bush's website. 1)The Kerry campaign's email is, in fact, accurate. Pictures of Adolf...
