President Bush's political advisers "are now all but certain that" Howard Dean "will be the Democratic presidential nominee," and "they are planning a campaign that takes account of what they see as Dean's strengths and weaknesses," the New York Times reports. While I support Dean for strategic reasons, I find it a bit unsettling the Democratic primary campaign appears over before any Democrat has voted. However recent polls, taken before Gore's endorsement of Dean, show Dean well ahead and increasing his lead. |

Further, Robinson et al. have gone to a great length to elaborate in details on their methodology, the measures used, and their rationale for using them, including a rather detailed report on the statistical procedure used with the corresponding results. The article ends with a great amount, relatively speaking, of concluding remarks including elaborations of limitations and strengths. Unlike the other three articles that attempt to understand what happens with treatment group(s) when exposed to intervention that increases the dose of exposure to aggressive and violent media or exposure to media in general, the Robinson et al. |
