WTF? Rather just said that the election could turn into a Bush landslide
CBS has Bush ahead 108 to 77.

Rather said it is too early to tell, but his commentary on the possibility of a Bush landslide is the first I have heard with this slant.

Say it ain't so Hoe.

fooled by an early lead.

5. You misunderstood him
He made the comment because the early southeastern states that were predicted to go * did. The map was awash in red so he said that it looked like a landslide but that it wasn't the case. Then he said, "Well, it might continue this way," rather flippantly, but the overall tone was that this was in no way going to be a landslide even though the map looked quite red.

9. Anywhere the number of acres outnumbers the number of
people (and in many cases, the total number of collective IQ points)

will likely go Bush.

8. Gee, like the Repubs will hold him as a beacon of
veracity . . .

Laugh in the face of any repuke who quotes DR - not that we're ridiculing him, we're ridiculing them for wanting to believe him!
