Wow! Must-read for all actual Christian/Conservatives!! BTTT
Bump for later.
Morning glory/evening grace BUMP
thanks, for the post...HH is great. :D
my take on it is slightly different..the foley mess reached it's zenith before chia hair decided to derail it with his folley..HOWEVER, I think it would have faded very quickly anyway with the aid of the dems..I think Pelosi et. al. decided NOT to push their luck with having to go under oath knowing the entire incident could have convincingly shown them to be intimately involved in holding the info, then releasing it at this time..the dems, more than anyone are responsible for this fast becoming a non-story..IMHO..
Hewitt is right, and he penned his column BEFORE the sad plane crash in NYC today, which will only remind voters what's REALY at stake in this election (hint: it's not about Foley). Even though the plane accident was probably not terrorism related, it will jar voters' collective consciousness nonetheless. Add onto it the N. Korea nukes situation and the Sandy Berger purloined documents story and you have the making of a GOP comeback from the dumps they were in a week ago.
Still time for more "October surprises," though. . .
Hugh, an Ohioan, never mentioned the governor's race.
only problem is that Hugh is terrible at predicting elections. On the eve of the 2000 election, he was on PBS in L.A. predicting that Bush would comfortably win California. Result? Bush got trounced and it had nothing to do with the early CBS miscall of Florida. He's had many other overly optimistic predictions over the years.
Hugh is generally an optimist concerning the elections. He was right on the money back in 2004 when many of his callers were down in the dumps about W's chances against Kerrey, and he was telling them do disregard the public polls. He had internal polling data that showed Bush was going to win.
The Dems released the Foley stuff because they sensed not just a defeat but a STUNNING defeat, losing perhaps 3 seats in the Senate and 5 seats in the House, if they didn't do something to break the momentum.
I think Foley bought them a week, but at the cost of being able to break open the Foley stuff 10 days out of the election. If I'm right, look for GOP momentum to continue to increase, and some of these "vulnerable" guys like Santorum and Chafee and Burns will move into the close, but win, column.
Hugh Hewitt is a good guy, and a gentleman. He is especially helpful on legal issues. I also like his optimism and thoroughness.
No Kidding!!! We are going to CREAM the Democrats!!
Another thing I like about Hugh and his show are the listeners. During today's show Hugh suggested creating a National Security Academy along the lines of the military service academies and the folks who called in to offer their critiques and suggestion were former DIA officers, Air Force academy professors and other military veterans.
Another thing I like about Hugh is that he can take on liberals, leftists and democrats without having to hang up on them to 'end' the debate. He is a master of asking a seemingly simple question that allows folks from the dark side of politics just enough rope to hang themselves on any issue out there.
Other than the depressing thought of not having the immense intellect and conservative jurist prudence of Antonin Scalia on the bench at some point in the future, a very positive outlook indeed for the political right.
