Sounds like wishful thinking by the MSM.
Right, Middle America will respond to this scandal by voting in droves for the pro-gay party.
he is a hack
Funny how every time an election comes around the Dem put out the books, the scandals etc . like clockwork. The Repubs are as clueless and unpredared as every when it comes.
Scary to think that these are the people who in the country...
Obviously it hasn't occurred to this hack at Newsweak that if (when) the dems lose AGAIN it's because they have absolutely nothing to offer. Americans would like to see the dems come up with a PLAN that's more than anti-Bush, anti-war, and anti-America; and the dems' salivating over this Foley thing isn't really a plan, either.
Yep, Fineman is a left wing POS.
Then came the Foley Scandal. If the Democrats cant take the Hill now, they deserve to go the way of the Whigs.
What's this? I thought the Dems were ahead and taking the House was a cinch and winning the Senate was a likely prospect! What's this about the Foley scandal putting the Dems over the top? Is the MSM admitting the Dems didn't have it sewn up before? I'm so confused!
If voting Republican this election ensures this immoral crop is destroyed, vote Republican.
I'm really extra-sick of that particular lie. The way most of "the world" expressed its good will toward the US on 9/11 was by dancing in the streets, firing guns in the air and handing out candy.
Anyone notice what is missing in the list of Dem "advantages" in the first two paragraphs? Like their own agenda or issues?
Wow. What hypocrisy! The sex scandals of the decades involving Ted Kennedy who actually let a woman DIE, Barney who ran a male prostitute ring in his basement, and Bill Clinton with everything in skirts and a rape or two are no big deal! But emails to pages are supposed to bring down the entire party! Why? Because the MSM will treat this different than the others, and we all know it. Incredible! The dims October surprise. They knew this for a long time, and yet they don't have to resign do they? They may have set the entire thing up.
Can we 'em to that, a**hole?
Yeah . . .
that's it . . .
That's the ticket!
Me too, and I hear it said by everyone from political pundits to sportswriters. Yes, if we had only allowed the wonderful Saddam Hussein to stay in power the whole world would just love us!
Fact is, Bush would be hated no matter what, even if 9/11 and the Iraq war never happened. He would have been accused of starving children, not caring enough about AIDS, forcing WalMart on the world, or whatever other memes the lefists of the world like to employ.
Why is it so important to Howard Fineman that the democrats win? That is the most important question, and Howard is only representative of his profession.
Of course we know the answer to that question, so here is another one.
Will we allow them that pleasure?
("If the Democrats cant take the Hill now, they deserve to go the way of the Democrats";)
Last line of the article.
"The Foley Scandal means that Democrats might be able to succeed with a campaign slogan that says, simply, Had Enough? But if they take control of Congress, theyll still have to do what the Whigs could not, which is explain what they are for, not just what we all are against."
