Call me a cynic, but this is damage control from that post-speech ABC broadcast.
Her fingers were SO crossed behind her back as she wrote this.
What was the post-speech ABC broadcast?
If you will remember, right after the speech Kerry, Reid, and assorted pundits like Matthews were very negative. Suddenlly, yesterday, all of that stopped.
I don't think they had a change of heart. I think the numbers were in the basement and now they are doing damage control while they think of another way to attack the President. (Moon-bats like Cindy Sheehan don't count.)
We just have to be ready for the next attack, because as sure as God made little green apples, there is going to be another one.
This tells me that Donna Brazille can put aside partisanship from time to time. I believe her for this incident.
I think if you take the time to go back and check out some of the other things Donna has said in the last year or so, you will find that she has been leaning this direction.
I'm only surprised she has gone public with it. Check out Rush's website - he has an article by Fineman exposing the KOOK LEFT's power over the dems and how it's transforming the dem party - negatively - which Rush has been exposing for quite some time.
Knowing that .. I believe Donna can see the writing on the wall .. the democrats are going to take a GREAT BIG HIT in Louisana .. and from the comments which ABC so thoughtfully supplied for the public .. Bob Beckel is wrong AGAIN that the "repubs have destroyed all their hard work within the black community".
While I'm probably cynical enough to believe Donna is just doing this to save herself .. and keep herself free from an association with the KOOK LEFT .. she is a very influencial black person and could actually help the repubs.
Major events can alter people's thinking - witness Geraldo and Christopher Hitchens, both very anti-Bush until 9/11.
This is more than damage control...this is getting back into the game. They send out a "representative" of the Democratic Party. Not a big name, you see. There too chicken for that. So Joe American hears on the news that some Democrat is part of the solution now. Not a big name, at first. But now the door is open so all the rats can jump ON the ship. Because it's the winning ship and they are so far off it right now they're just wading in the water looking for the platform. And this was their oar. Did I put enough water references in it for you? First person to insert Kennedy into this water scenario gets 50 points!
It could be damage control for Donna Brazile in Democrat campaign circles. Last thing I heard about her was when Kerry canned her. Her former boss is toast no matter what he says or does.
