Ignoring the canary (Conyers)
Not only does he have integrity by the bucketloads-he has a way with words.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/theblog/archive/john-conyers/ohio-2004-ignoring-the-c.html

The exit poll discrepancies are to the evidence that massive disenfranchisement occurred in Ohio, as the canary is to the detection of harmful gases in a coal mine. When a canary dies in a coal mine, that alone is not proof positive that something is wrong (maybe the cause of death was just old age or as John Cleese once said, maybe he is "just sleeping"). But -- if you are working in the coalmine -- you just might want to check things out.

And so it went for me and the exit polls. Seeing that there was an unprecedented discrepancy between the exit polls and the official results in Ohio, I was concerned and I decided to check things out a little more closely. Like Jim Lampley, when I see something that is apparently unprecedented and incredibly anomolous, I ask questions. I am just curious that way.
