But pretty much every expert I talked to said that none of the issues were likely big enough to have undone Bush’s win.
Then Kennedy wrote a rebuttal to my rebuttal, which I, again, rebutted.
Salon, a generally liberal-leaning publication, was deluged by letters from readers angry that I was defending Bush’s win.
The other day I went back and listened to a debate I had with Kennedy on public radio’s “The Brian Lehrer Show.” Lehrer opened the program by asking Kennedy for his big-picture case.
Such was his effort when we met on Lehrer: Kennedy offered an assortment of claims about the election that, in big and small ways, were unsubstantiated.
