What? No gratuitous soft core shots of Wonkette?
Jeff at Beautiful Atrocities has a round up of the Winners and Losers of Election 2004. Key quote: "When John Hinderaker of Powerline has a victory chat with Tom Brokaw, you know there's a new sheriff in town."
But unlike Jeff's other roundups, which attract major linkage bling bling, this one is sadly deficient in the usual Wonkette fawning Jeff is known for...
UPDATE: Hindrocket has his account of the whole bad exit poll data hitting the internet and discounts the Dick Morris argument that it was an intentional Democrat dirty trick to supress Red State vote. I agree with Hindrocket on this, only in that I think my "Trading Places" scenario makes much more sense. Someone made a TON of money by being able to move the markets Tuesday afternoon based on bad information. The fact that the bad exit poll data was released an hour before the NYSE closed, giving enough time for a brief panic selloff, is the key---there wasn't enough time for the market to regain its bearing before closing.

BTW, I took your advice & baited the hook for Oliver Willis. Is he friends with Sully, or do they hate each too?
