That these allegations were made by an attractive, articulate young woman makes them all the more eye-opening to soccer moms who never even considered the possibility. Sometimes just letting people know that they MAY be getting duped is the first step towards opening their eyes to something.
I agree completely. I would bet my retirement pay that the producers on TODAY were nervous about this, and prepped Couric incessantly. The Axis of Evil Washington Post helped out 2 weeks ago by launching an artillery barrage against Ann's book.
If they didn't think Colter was a threat to their safe cocoon of Redbook, Lifetime, Planned Parenthood panphlets, Mirabella, and Today---they would not have acted as they did.
