If 5 paid GOP staffers had slashed the tires of the Dems GOTV vans, I wonder if there would have been more media coverage...?

Just a thought :)

Are you kidding? This was about the only story election day. The Republican party was milking this story for every last ounce of PR value. If the same thing had happened to Democrats, it would have been reported after the election.

Why does everyone have this myth of a liberal media? The liberal media in America is Salon, AirAmerica, Mother Jones, and DailyKos. That's about it. CNN is right of center.

No, we're serious.  It would be all over the media and some morons would be claiming the election was "stolen" and be calling for a "civil war."
