Well, we shall see. The CW certainly has this as a nail in the coffin moment for the Republicans.
Still, the one thing that remains is the issues. Are there enough October suprises for the dems to keep the voters attention away from their positions on the issues. I have to tell you, the voters might be fixated on Foley, but more as a National Enquirer thing than something that affects their vote.
CW?
I just don't get it.
OK, Foley sent these e-mails and IMs. Maybe there's more to the story, but he resigned in disgrace.
Would the Democrats really rather have us focus on IMs where a homosexual congressman requests "measurements" shall we say, from a male congressional page, rather than on their plans for Iraq, whatever those plans may be?
this can backfire on the Dems if not careful. Because Foley is a homosexual, there is a gay bashing element here that they have to be careful about, since they are the party of tolerance of gays and other things.
For example, Bush has steadily and patiently warned North Korea's mincing little bouffant dictator not to test nuclear weapons. Kim Jong Il may just be stupid enough to ignore the warnings. If he does, he may trigger a response from the US that will overwhelm the manufactured Foley non-story and all other inane non-stories in news cycles for the next six months.
Kim Jong Il may unwittingly bring America's attention back to the most important issue of our time: national security.
