CNN Smells Like Barbeque
CNN:
With the dust having finally settled after the prolonged Democratic presidential primary, a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll shows Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama locked in a statistical dead heat in the race for the White House.
Oh look! Senators Obama and McBush are in a dead heat. In other words, tied. Wow. Senator McBush must be surging or something. Or maybe Senator Obama is slipping. So, just for shits and giggles, how close is it?
...the new survey out Tuesday indicates Obama holds a narrow 5-point advantage among registered voters nationwide over the Arizona senator, 50 percent to 45 percent.
50 to 45?! That's a statistical dead heat? What the hell is wrong with you, CNN? Wipe the barbeque off your mouths and tell us how 50-45 is a dead heat.

Hey Now! That's the best political team on television you're talking about! Actually this should be a sign that McCain is stomping Obama's butt, according to the minds at CNN.

Oh boy, how much do the networks want this to be a close race? Let's put reality to one side for the time being (I should be a network exec), and just pretend it's close! As if wishing made it so...
