He should be ashamed of himself. Professor Olson didn't write any of this and the murder-rate numbers are way off.

Here's an interesting quote from a Bill Buckley piece: <i>Looking back on Bush vs. Gore, Professor Joseph Olson of the Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, gives us a shrewd perspective. Adding up the counties in the U.S. won by the two candidates, it was Gore 677, Bush 2,434. Taking the population of those counties, it was 143 million for Bush, 127 million for Gore. In square miles of land won, Gore 580,000, Bush 2,427,000. The murder rate in Gore counties, 13.2 per 100,000 residents, contrasted with 2.1 in the Bush counties.</i> 55520@blogcritics.org Sat, 3 Apr 2004 00:27:14 EST
