Jim Miklaszewski said on Imus this morning that the books won't make a difference in the election.
Begala was on earlier and spinning this as just novel writing. Notwithstanding the "let's just blow this off" reaction of the "elites", the things Webb wrote have a huge ewwwww factor that will bother the voters. They certainly bother me.
You could very well expect Begala to be spinning in this case. That's his job. But for Miklaszewski to say this won't make a difference is rather presumptuous. How in the world does he know? Imus' next question should have been, "How do you know that, Jim?"
He's hoping that no newspaper will pick up the story.
