And Now Florida: Up By 6
And I don't think the CBS News scandal -- about to go thermonuclear -- is going to help.
I haven't read much about Rathergate in the actual (print) Wall Street Journal. I can only assume that means they are 1) not only ultra-liberal, despite their conservative editorial page, but incompetent and without ambition and all, or 2) are working on a story.
I think WSJ reporters are as liberal as anyone else's, but I don't think they're incompetent or without ambition.
This is going to be a two to three week story, unless the mainstream media is so monolithically liberal and corrupt as to bury it by Friday. I don't know if they are that monolithically liberal and corrupt; it doesn't cause hope that the Washington Post, even while reporting the documents are forgeries, did so on an inner page (Page A8, if I recall correctly).
Assuming the mainstream media cannot bury the story, that means we're going to have three weeks of coverage of this story, during which time it's going to be that much harder for Kerry to get his message out to the public.
Which, come to think of it, may not be such a bad thing for him.
Forget I said anything.
