...Voters, Stupid. Forget the experts. Forget the polls. Forget the TV ads" [Jan. 21]. What the primary results from New Hampshire showed, once again, is the arrogance of America's national media - especially television news. The press seemed downright insulted that the voters of New Hampshire didn't vote the way the commentators and pollsters said they would.

More than 100 attendees walked to the library and cast their ballots. Two days earlier in Pensacola, the number of daily early voters nearly doubled after Giuliani visited the area and his volunteers...
