2. There's about as much chance of that happening...
...as the other way around.

3. They won't.
I expect CNN will go on the offensive by trying to find flaws in whatever polling service CBS uses.

4. What if . . .
What if the polls showed Kerry that far ahead -- how long would it be before FOX, CNN, MSNBC, etc. began an investigation into Gallup??

7. *IF* they were to allow the polls to reflect a Kerry lead...
... which they obviously won't do, as evidenced by the 12% handicap Gallup is currently putting on Kerry, you can bet that the whole right-wing propaganda machine would fly into operation against the to-be-pitied polling service.

6. Or they could practice the faulty logic of the Scrub administration
by attacking General Motors for ignoring pastel colors in their new model year offerings...

You know, al Queida = Iraq

5. Let me put it in graphic terms:
Fuck CNN and the horse it is riding out upon.

They are so done. It is going to take a massive overhaul for them to regain credibility after this election. If ever.
