Was there a conspiracy to suppress the votes...of Republicans?

Don Imus led a chorus of pundits on the morning of Election Day in discussing the "buzz" that John Kerry was going to win. Karl Rove was "sick" over exit polls that "didn't make any sense-" until the raw vote showed that Rove was right, and the polls wrong. And an election whose outcome was perfectly clear on Election Night was stretched out into the next day by the refusal of Certain Biased Segments of the media to call Ohio even though John Kerry would have had to take virtually every absentee and provisional ballot in the state in order to overcome the Bush lead- a fact to which Kerry sensibly reacted by conceding Wednesday morning.

What happened? Dick Morris's explanation is just about the only one that makes sense: that the exit polls were rigged in an attempt to suppress the Bush vote through the appearance of an overwhelming Kerry victory in the making.

So much for "counting every vote!"
