Sour Grapes Post of The Day Award...

...goes to ABC's The Note:

The best example of how degrading it can be to be a political reporter: USA Today 's classy Susan Page forced to write up the Gallup poll/joke "showing" the president with a mythical 13-point lead for the front page of her paper — thus suggesting Gallup's 2000 track record of wild swings might be replicated this cycle.

(Question it gives rise to: What's the real margin? A. 5-6 points, with Bush holding small- to medium-sized (surmountable) leads in most of the important battlegrounds.)

On what do they base this? Nothing...Do they have their own poll in hand to disprove it?...No, just their own political leanings toward Kerry and maybe a Ouija board...
