BBV - (Sort of) Correction Bush Did Not Win Election on October 7

[harmonyguy]

Iraq? $200B! HAVA? $2.5B! Bush NOT elected yesterday? Priceless!

With less than a month before the presidential election, an Associated Press test article declaring President Bush the winner was picked up by WBAY.com's automated system. The headline of the AP story apparently did not bear that all-important word for the automated filters... "test."

1. "test" claim does not wash

in several ways. I think also they will have to narrow Bush's lead. This seems to presume Bush was leading but Kerry closed the gap and Nader shrunk as he must, a realistic but Bush rosy scenario before the debate.

Actually this seems a more honest assessment than the swill they have been pumping out for Bush's lead lately, but a very dated assessment, and one that could only be supported by fraud, such as the claim this is a 'test".

Why give such a close simulation if this was a test? Why not President Bonkers vs. Candidate Flintman or something?

I said before I don't trust AP in the main and among their feature reporters are very anti-Dem propagandists. Other wire services also are not exactly friendly and yet the nation's newspapers naively and innocently use them as digest fillers to report anything beyond hicksville.
