al-Guardian's Clark Co, Ohio Initiative --- Final Analysis |

"Dear Limey Assholes ..." A crazy British plot to swing Ohio to Kerryand how it backfired. By Andy Bowers Updated Thursday, Nov. 4, 2004, at 5:04 PM PT Imagine being an undecided voter in Clark County, Ohio, last month... One day, you open your mailbox to find a letter from someone in England... In 2000, Al Gore won Clark County by 324 votes. And since Ralph Nader received 1,347 votes, we can assume Gore's margin would have been larger without Nader on the ballot. On Tuesday George Bush won Clark County by 1,620 votes. The most significant stat here is how Clark County compares to the other 15 Ohio counties won by Gore in 2000. Kerry won every Gore county in Ohio except Clark. He even increased Gore's winning margin in 12 of the 16...The Guardian's [Ian] Katz was quoted as saying it would be "self-aggrandizing" to claim Operation Clark County affected the election. Don't be so modest, Ian. |
