Alright Everybody, Relax

Even if Ms. Smarty-Pant(suit) gets the nomination, Hizzonor won't even come close to getting into the inauguration ball -- unless he disguises himself as Betty Friedan's widow.Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com

PIGS FLY, REPORTEDLY

OK, sure: Hillary Clinton is beating Rudy Giuliani in most polls. But beating him in the South?

That's what happening according to a new Pew poll being reported by the Politico:

...She wins the South.

She polls evenly with voters who attend church at least once a week....

She loses rural voters and men -- but only by a narrow margin....


Did I mention that this poll says she wins the South by more than her overall margin of victory? I just can't get my mind around that. (The Pew numbers are: Hillary up by 11 in the South, up by 8 overall.)
Ahh, if only polls mattered one bit right now.

If you think 9/11 changed everything, or nothing except the outcome of the '02 and '04 elections -- wait until you get a load of what bombing Iran does to skew the numbers.

Of course, the Versailles Press thinks that a juicy sex scandal would be an even bigger bombshell. Even the rumor of one has all the Courtiers twitching, even to the point of subtly slanting campaign coverage in ways only the they, those insiders in-the-know, can perceive.

And what about timing? They, meaning the DC elite media, must know if it comes out before the parties select their primary winners and eventual nominees, voters would have the ability to decide how important they felt it to the narrative of the candidate in question. Aren’t they, in delaying and not letting the pieces fall where they potentially may, not refusing to act but acting in a different way—taking it upon themselves to decide the Presidential election by their silence?

If they waited until the nominees were chosen wouldn’t that be unfair because, arguably, it could sink the candidacy of one of the potential nominees after the nomination was finalized? And doesn’t the fact that they “all” know something’s there but can’t say affect their campaign coverage in a subterranean, subconscious way that their readers are excluded from?

For the record, Ron Rosenbaum of the Pajamahadeen is no better than the elites he complains of, refusing to print the rumor either but leaving the ethical dilemma up to the "legitimate" scribes prancing around the "not John Edwards -- maybe it's not true" rumor. He evidently has no ethical problem with reporting on the rumor of a rumor -- because he has no ethics.

I absolutely guarantee that folks like him, or people that rub shoulders with him, wouldn't be fishing around for a GOP sex scandal, which lately wouldn't raise any eyebrows given what they've been caught at over the last couple of years (and the hits keep coming). They're talking about a Democrat, and it's a big one. If it's not Edwards, there are only two other contenders that matter.

Speculation anyone?

Oy, the comments on that thing are head-asploding. "I know it's a Democrat because the MSM would never hesitate to destroy a Republican." Sure, ask Al Gore whether that's true or not. Jeez. They didn't even need an actual scandal, just behaved as though there were one. And then they worship at the temple of Bush for years -- that well-known Democrat.
