perhaps you havenât seen Jamesâ occasional forays into almost wingnuttery?

Um, no. Seen plenty of yours, though, Ken.

Exit Poll Panic
The early numbers coming out across the Web portend an absolute Kerry blowout. While that’s not a totally inconceivable result given the record turnout levels, it’s way too early for either side to panic. See OTB for more analysis on...

todd, perhaps you haven't seen James' occasional forays into almost wingnuttery? He never really crosses the line but he does flirt with the fantasy once in a while.

He looks to me like a solid conservative with some occasional good insight. That is why I as a liberal enjoy visiting here. With his indulgence, I also get to post comments. This is rare for conservatives of his caliber. Notice neither Sullivan, Bainbridge nor Reynolds allow commentary.

"for a conservative"
"wandering off into fantasy land"
"Unlike some of your conservative collegues"

Gee, Ken, how many left hands do you have?

James, for a conservative you are usually pretty level headed. When I think you are wandering off into fantasy land I try to call you on it. But this is a good report on early exit polls. I think it looks pretty good for Kerry, but then I have always thought he would win.

Regardless of the outcome thank you for this site. Unlike some of your conservative collegues you allow dissenting opinions to be posted and your responses have always been decent. I hope you keep it up even after the election.

Why would anyone get interested in these lame polls? Why not wait until the ENTIRE data set is recored, i.e., the poll has closed and the results tabulated. THAT is the real enchilada. That is when the celebrations begin!
