That would have been my first thought, also, Jack, except for the part where Chiat admits that:

quote:
Pollster Geoff Garin, speaking to The New York Times, called Bush hatred "as strong as anything I've experienced in 25 years now of polling."
If it's being picked up by pollsters, that would seem to indicate that scientific sampling is occurring, and that the sampling is showing "strong" hatred on the left...more than just a few "loud" voices on the extreme.
