Re: NY Times on "statisticians' view" of election

At this point, I have been shocked at the unprofessional, bias, and cluelessly
partisan comments that have been made on this thread.  Comments like "Bush voters
being more educated" do not reflect the educated mind, but rather the lawyerly
temperament that Any argument is equally valid.

Those, like myself, who are Democratic partisans can easily begin calling names,
accusing the others of ignorance, making up theories about spaceships and going
through all the standard partisan things found on political boards.  These DO NOT
belong on this board.

I suggest that tones be moderated, and blattantly prejudiced points unsupported by
data be eliminated.
