You know the media is liberal and hates Bush. You know that CNN is liberal. Why do you refuse to recognize that while the purpose of the poll wasn't to slam Bush, that it was convenient to ask people about Jeb Bush in order to show their own (and many other people's) discontentment with GWB? |

Questions: 1. Do you believe we should take a politician's words at face value that he is not planning on running for something? 2. Given that GHWB and GWB have both successfully run for president, and given that JB is currently a successful politician, do you think he is likely to ever run for president? 3. If your answer to 1 and 2 is yes, do you think it is absurd to consider the possibility that Jeb might run for president in 2008? 4. If it is not absurd in question 3, do you think polls should take him into consideration given there are no clear frontrunners right now in either party for the nomination? But I am sure I am just being a pawn of the ultra radical liberal communist media that hates puppies. |

1. Depends on who it is 2. No 3. No, it's not absurd 4. No, I believe there are others more likely to run than him. |

I don't follow your logic in your answers, but given you don't think it is absurd to believe Jeb is running for president in 2008, I am struggling to figure out why he shouldn't have been included in a poll. |

It IS hard to understand because it is a silly accusation. Given that even you have admitted Jeb could be running for president, and given that he comes from a dynastic family, and given that EVERYONE has heard of him, including him in a poll makes a LOT of sense for dozens of reasons other than your shallow "the media just wanted to take a swipe at him" nonsense. I hear that CNN poisons baby food. |

I don't have any problem accepting much of the media has a liberal bias. I do have a problem with claims attempting to demonstrate that media bias that have no rational foundation and which disregard obvious legitimate purposes behind certain media actions. If you want to show a liberal media bias, fine. More power to you. But at least pick something that proves your point. By the way, Fox News also included Jeb Bush in its poll for the 2008 election. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,196454,00.html Those commie liberals!!! I always knew Fox News was merely trying to take a swipe at the Bushes. I now concede the point. You were clearly correct. Stupid media. Everything is their fault.
