#1  Apples Oranges and all that stuff ---

It is amazing how the MSM are reporting each other's polls...

ABC Cheney 43 Edwards 35 Tie 19 Brain-dead* 3
* to make it add to 100!
ABC IndependentsCheney 42 Edwards 37 unspecified 21
CBS Independents
Edwards 41 Cheney 28 unspecified 31

Does anyone imagine that CBS was conducting the poll amongst their viewers? Since Rather and his voyage through Times New Romanland, more needs to be known about the sample CBS used...

But even the ABC internals are suspect:
Presidential Choice Before
Bush 51-48
After
Bush 50-49.

It works about as well as the internals of CNN USAT Gallup recently...
