Could There Be a Personal Bias Here, Gentlemen?

The Associated Press via AOL News headlined a story on Sunday which indicates that a group of history professors seem to think that John McCain's chances of winning the White House in '08 are about as strong as the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's chances of being elected the national grand wizard of the KKK.

The professors offered a variety of explanations as to why they see a landslide victory for Barack Obama in the Fall.

But it seems the gentlemen and scholars forgot one simple fact that shapes their opinion. The latest survey of professors of history and English in U.S. colleges and universities shows that the overwhelming majority--over 90% in fact--are liberal Democrats.

So why, pray tell, did their latest 'political opinion' make headline news?
