Wow. Somebody send this guy a colon or a dash or something. Where did he learn to write?

This is how the LasVegas Sun reported the AP story:

Bush's margin of victory in the state that put him over the top in his re-election bid will be about 119,000 votes - smaller than the unofficial margin of 136,000, the county election board figures showed. That means Kerry drew closer by about 17,000 votes.

Looks like ABC (the source of the article at the top of this thread) is the culprit who screwed it up.

Send that a writer a copy of Eats, Shoots & Leaves

A well-placed comma works, too... (or parenthetical treatment)!
