I like Horserace and I concur with his statements on Zogby. The numbers in Colorado were enough to convince me they were not to be trusted.

Speaking of surveys and methodology and such I read debunking by Fred Kaplan at Slate on the report done for Lancet on the Iraqi body count. It seems there is a far more reputable group of Brits [who use real facts] that have the numbers at between 14,000 and about 16,000. Not good, but not as bad as 100,000 for Heaven’s sake.

Now just wait and see in his next appearance Osama will use the jacked up report to justify killing Americans.

So yes I think the press is out to get Bush and in so doing they have painted a very ugly picture of Americans in general. But much of the elite press, like Dan Rather, is rich and insular and has not a clue what life is like for most of us anyway.
