Russert re Kerry this morning: "48.3% of the popular vote"

[patrice]

Kerry (very briefly) said it was 49.2%.

Where did Russert come up with that?

[madame defarge]

1. What do you expect from Russert?

The truth? Naw... Just pull a number out of a hat and see if it flies...and then pretend like it's the truth...

[aquart]

6. He was giving Bush's numbers?

The real ones.

[Slit Skirt]

2. some sort of study came out this week

that showed Kerry doing better than Hilary. (Chris Matthews talked about it off camera to Delay)
sooooooo Timmy probably got his marching orders to get mean and nasty.

[patrice]

3. Russert could have cited his source.

He should be ashamed.

[sallyseven]

5. Russert is a dope

He got his info from the Republicans, who else. Thinks he can fool the red states, little lies all the time. Fake information.

[Slit Skirt]

7. his source is garbage....they are going after him because this study shows

kerry is ahead of hilary...watch..we will see more attacks on kerry now

his only source is bushco,KR and delay.....with the help of cM

14. Did you see Mark Crispan Miller on CSPAN?

Election Fraud.

"The Computer ate my Vote."

Paper Ballots Now.

4. Just looked up the info

Looks like Bush did get 50.7% of the vote -- which might suggest that the Kerry/Edwards ticket got 48.3%. However, the reality is apparently that various other 3rd party candidates got about 1%.

8. Horsesh--

Bush got the vote his minyan let him get. There is NO WAY that man got more than half the vote. NO WAY.

[Benhurst]

9. Yeah, if you count the stolen Diebold votes.

[Slit Skirt]

10. bush didn't get shit

mark crispin miller on cspn2 now.....talking about how they did NOT win the election

[Zynx]

11. 48.3% is correct.

[patrice]

15. By what standard please?

We need to know so we can evaluate what Kerry said too?

[BenDavid]

12. To do a take off of the Robin

Willaims character in "good morning vietnam".....

Tim Rusert, Chris Matthews, same person...Don't know. You be the judge...

[bee]

13. Did someone finally count the votes?

Otherwise these numbers are both imaginary.
