« Dan Rather Now Using Fake Emails For News Peg | Main | Reuters: "Random Violent Crime" Is the New Euphemism for Likely Islamism-Inspired Terrorism »
September 29, 2004

This Race Is As Wide-Open as the LLM & Kerry Need It To Be

Great point by an NRO reader.

Related: Howie Kurtz jumps on the New Liberal Conventional Wisdom, dubbing the polls not "fluid" but "volatile":

So Kerry not only has to catch up (to the degree these volatile polls show him behind)

"Volatile"? The big polls have consistently shown Bush ahead by 6-13 points. Even tossing out the 13, 12, and 11 point post-convention leads, there doesn't seem a lot of "volatility" in that persistent 6-8 point advantage.

The polls aren't just consistent with themselves; they're cross-consistent with each other.

But it's very "volatile." Gee, one day Bush is up by 13, the next day he has a paltry 8-point lead.

One reason I can think for them (whomever "them" are) to claim volatility in the polls: election fraud.

If they can claim that polls showed a close race, and then can claim voting irregularities -- well, you've got yourself another "not elected, selected" all buffed, shined, and ready to go.

And I do know for a fact that the DNC is sending out emails asking for donations to fund "questioning the vote" money chests. I know someone who donated to the Kerry campaign, and then received such an email solicitation. So, if nothing else, they are already planting the seed in the public mind that this election process is corrupt and will need to be contested. (I've seen elsewhere where the fact of this donation solicitation was questioned.)

Think about that. Either the Democratic party truly believes that the election process in America is corrupted, or they think it is a useful political ploy.

I think it behooves us all to launch an independent investigation into the election process, so that it cannot be used as a political ploy.

If it turns out to be true, we need to know about it. If it turns out to be a ploy, we need to know about that, too.

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.
