Lampley Posts Around the BlogsThe story seems to be getting some attention.
QandO makes
the same point as I did originally on the story, that there were consistent signs from other markets that President Bush was going to win the election. Lampley wants to look at one moment in time, 5:00 PM eastern on election day (which was the time that all the liberals were swooning, thinking they'd won).
Tim Hoy says
Lampley's a moron. I wouldn't go that far. He's just a buffoon.
Don't Let Me Stop You
references Lampley's boxing announcing work and says that he took too many blows to the head.
Laurence Simon dubs Lampley the
idiot of the day.
In the end, what it all boils down to is that the liberals were convinced they were going to win this election. Like Pauline Kael, they didn't know anybody who had voted for the Republican, so therefore the election must have been stolen. Lampley probably knows that the exit polls have been debunked, so he tried to move his analysis one step away from the exit polls, but when caught out by York switched back to the ridiculous "time-honored exit polls". And as Robert George noted, he also accused York of engaging in a little "typical neocon disingenuity". I don't know if York's actually a neocon, but we all know (David) Brooks' Law says that whenever a liberal uses the word "neocon" in a sentence, the rest of the sentence is false.
