Anyway:

They likely had one for each major possible choice.  Someone hit the wrong button, me thinks.

Still hilarious if true.  Right up there with Dewey Defeats Truman.

It is real.  They have just 'apologized' for their innacuracy.

N.Y. Post picks wrong running mate for Kerry

I ran up to Dunkin' Donuts about 2 hours ago to buy a copy, but I didn't start a thread right away until I saw an article-because I thought no one would believe me.

Yet another reason why you shouldn't believe the media.  

I hate the media.

I should start an "Anti-Media" third party.  Wink

No, this was published well before anyone knew Kerry's actual choice.  The NY Post thought they had a source with inside information, and it turned out to be plain wrong.

Everyone else in the press is saying this the biggest journalistic screw-up in fifty years.

They took a huge gamble and came up snake-eyes.

Almost as funny is that the editors of the New York Times were so amused by the mistake that they sent their 'collegues' at the New York Post a case of champagne!

They should have sent a box wine and called it champagne.  Now THAT would be funny.
