I wonder if the story about the IMs being a prank pulled on Foley by the former page in question, then being picked up by Democrat operatives, thinking they were REAL and using them to hurt the Repubs, will affect the polls next week?

This is why polls taken in the throes of a big scandal are absolutely WORTHLESS. You never know what the real story is without some distance from the event.

There's a reason this story broke on Friday after Rush.

The hit and run media had the Sunday shows to talk it up and 3 days before Conservative talk radio could respond. But internet forums and blogs are 24-hours live.

Pajama people rule.

Looks like the Webb campaign slimed themselves right into the dog house. Looks like Clintonite style attack politics aren't working out this year.

18% undecided? Wow!

In heavily negative campaigns undecideds tend to not vote. That is what this reflects

Please keep your eye on the final few days of the races. And ignore the gay sex scandal.

If you look at the ratings the last week you will find that every Fox show is down. And every MSNBC show is up. Why? Democrats want to gloat and Republicans just want to escape the media.

Democrats are not going to vote for Repbublicans and Republicans are turned off by the unfair media. Not that long ago there were 2.3 million viewers watching O'Reiley. But now he is sex scandal all the time and his audience is off.

Hannity and Combs have done the same thing and their audience is way off. It is down to 1.7 million. It is less than GRETA.

But on the other hand Olberman, and Matthews are up. Only the people who are not going to vote for us are watching.

We are going to win this election and is the media going to be ticked.

Where are the investigative journalists in the media uncovering the background on this story and mapping the timeline?

ABC is apologizing for leaking information as to the identies of those involved (which is sinking the claims).

The same media that ridicules our military and "refuses" to air positive stories on Iraq ("what, you want us to push your propaganda") have no qualms about pushing Democrat propaganda from dirty tricks teams. And they don't even mind the appearance of impropriety.

The DNC was a conduit in the fake National Guard memos too.

Zogby only has five weeks to reconcile his push-poll (for the Dems) numbers with what will actually occur on election day. That is the special sauce.

He did real good in 2000, blew it in 2002, and really blew it in 2004. He didn't lay off the sauce in time during the last weeks of 2002 and 2004, and that's where he blew it. Mow I see he's already backing off now. This year it's different. Why? Because if he blows it this election, three bad election calls in a row, just who will pay him for honest election results?
