No way does everyone have their minds made up. Sure, us political junkies do, but then there's the mindless rabble of 100 million voters who make up their minds within weeks, if not hours, of election day based on TV and radio ads, and top-of-the-hour-news soundbites that they hear on their car radios.
This "9/11 Commission" scandal needs to fester and puss up for the next three years until it pops like a zit all over Hillary Clinton's campaign.
But Hillary's run for her Senate seat is just a year away. If it stays in the news, festering , it'll help to bloody her then. :-)
