I should know this, But who the Hell is Politico.??
And why should we care what they say or think.

From Wikipedia:

The Politico is an American political journalism organization based in Arlington, Virginia, that distributes its content via television, the Internet, newspaper, and radio. Its coverage of Washington, D.C., includes the U.S. Congress, lobbying, media and the Presidency. It was a sponsor of the 2008 Republican Presidential candidates debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on May 3, 2007, the 2008 Democratic Presidential candidates debate at the Kodak Theater on January 31, 2008, and the 2012 Republican Presidential candidates debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on September 7, 2011.

John F. Harris and Jim VandeHei left The Washington Post to become Politico’s editor-in-chief and executive editor, respectively, launching the newspaper on January 23, 2007. Frederick J. Ryan Jr., former Assistant to President Ronald Reagan, is president and CEO.

The newspaper has a circulation of approximately 32,000, distributed for free on Capitol Hill and elsewhere in Washington, D.C

Politico was founded in 2007 in advance of the Obama election by former Washington Post political reporters Jim VandeHei and John F. Harris.

At the time, they positioned Politico as "non-partisan," but I think most people knew that they were just laying down a deep cover for future reporting.
