Author Topic: Gephardt defeats Edwards!!!

Post Tabs Wrong Horse New York paper's "exclusive" named Gephardt as Kerry veep pick. JULY 6--In an embarrassingly errant front-page "exclusive," The New York Post today reported that John Kerry had selected Richard Gephardt as his Democratic running mate. The paper's story hit newsstands hours before Kerry tabbed fellow U.S. Senator John Edwards for the veep slot. The Post story, which ran without a byline, reported that while Edwards could have made the Democratic duo more competitive in the south, the choice of Gephardt "could be a sign that Kerry is 'writing off' that region." In a move to cloak the error, Post brass removed the front page image and the accompanying story from the paper's web site. While it is unclear how the Post made such a colossal error (almost as big as their Yankees goof), we'll guess that the paper will claim that after the paper went to press in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, Kerry changed his mind and opted for Edwards. ---- =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-06-2004 01:06 PM                     This ranks with DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN, from the Chicago Daily Tribune!

They got it about as 'right' as they do everything else. Yeah, I know this thread will prolly be deleted.
