Given the consistent and pronounced difference between Fox News polls and all other reputable polls, and the general....proclivities of the Fox News crew, I've long suspected they've had their foot.
Anyone with a sick fascination with Fox News or a broken remote control knows that Sean Hannity says a lot of things, and a pretty significant number of them aren't.
