The Biggest Story of Our Lives

 

At 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Election Day, I checked the sportsbook

odds in Las Vegas and via the offshore bookmakers to see the odds as of

that moment on the Presidential election. John Kerry was a two-to-one

favorite. You can look it up.

 

People who have lived in the sports world as I have, bettors in

particular, have a feel for what I am about to say about this: these

people are extremely scientific in their assessments. These people

understand which information to trust and which indicators to consult

in determining where to place a dividing line to influence bets, and

they are not in the business of being completely wrong. Oddsmakers

consulted exit polling and knew what it meant and acknowledged in their

oddsmaking at that moment that John Kerry was winning the election.

 

And he most certainly was, at least if the votes had been fairly and

legally counted. What happened instead was the biggest crime in the

history of the nation, and the collective media silence which has

followed is the greatest fourth-estate failure ever on our soil.

 

Many of the participants in this blog have graduate school educations.

It is damned near impossible to go to graduate school in any but the

most artistic disciplines without having to learn about the basics of

social research and its uncanny accuracy and validity. We know that

professionally conceived samples simply do not yield results which vary

six, eight, ten points from eventual data returns, thaty's why there

are identifiable margins for error. We know that margins for error are

valid, and that results have fallen within the error range for every

Presidential election for the past fifty years prior to last fall.

NEVER have exit polls varied by beyond-error margins in a single state,

not since 1948 when this kind of polling began. In this past election

it happened in ten states, all of them swing states, all of them in

Bush's favor. Coincidence? Of course not.

 

Karl Rove isn't capable of conceiving and executing such a grandiose

crime? Wake up. They did it. The silence of traditional media on this

subject is enough to establish their newfound bankruptcy. The

revolution will have to start here. I challenge every other thinker at

the Huffington Post: is there any greater imperative than to reverse

this crime and reestablish democracy in America? Why the mass silence?

Let's go to work with the circumstantial evidence, begin to narrow from

the outside in, and find some witnesses who will turn. That's how they

cracked Watergate. This is bigger, and I never dreamed I would say that

in my baby boomer lifetime.
