...sign of deplorable bigotry (unfortunately, the same poll also proves that many Americans are still deplorable bigots). I think this moral imperative extends to homosexuals, although the country is belatedly establishing social norms against anti-gay bias. But what about religion? According to a 2003 study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, 38 percent of adult Americans would personally not vote for a Muslim. Is a refusal to vote for a member of a particular religion similarly unacceptable...
...arguing that readers "should know as much about the unfolding election as the anchors and other journalists." Granted, Slate also cautioned that the early exit poll data was not conclusive.

Rush Limbaugh initially accused Fox of skipping his medication or acting, and Talent's backers scrambled to put up a response ad (to air during Wednesday evening's Game Four...
...make this a tough year for Republicans to appeal to female swing voters. Seven in ten women oppose the war, compared with 58% opposition among men, according to a recent CNN poll. Bush himself appears to be spreading the gender gap, especially among moderate Republican women. According to a Pew poll conducted last summer, only half of self-described moderate or liberal Republican women approve of Bush's job performance, down 31 percentage points since his re-election. Moderate and liberal Republican men are down only 19 points over this same period, to 62%. McCaskill is running...
