In Bizarro World, the State is an Objective newspaper

Look here if you don't get the headline.

The State has an interesting idea of what it means to be objective:

But experts say the practice — known as crossover voting — doesn’t happen. And it’s not likely to happen this year, either, even with four- and five-wide GOP contests for treasurer and superintendent of education.

There’s just something about crossing that line.

“Most of the speculation of people crossing over is malarkey,” said Don Fowler, a political science professor at the University of South Carolina and former Democratic National Committee chairman. “I cannot name you one example — from county council to president of the United States — where it has made any difference.

“Party people just don’t do that. ... It’s political folklore.”

I don't suppose Professor Fowler has any dog in this fight, thus making him a good, objective source.
