I’ve just read all of Jennifer Rubin’s previous columns on PJM. In late July, in ‘The New and Improved John McCain’ she predicts that McCain was about to surge ahead to a commanding lead. Didn’t happen. The next week, ‘Hillary Supporters Are Mad and They’re Not Going to Take It Anymore!’, she predicts that there was about to be a mass revolt of Clinton supporters against the candidate. Didn’t happen. The next week, ‘Pundits Begin to Worry About Obama’ predicts, well, that pundits begin to worry about Obama. I guess that sort of happened, but you can find pundits worrying about Obama from about a year ago as well. And this week, the predicts that the DNC campaign will be a disaster. Who knows, maybe she’ll finally be right, but it seems like her journalistic M.O. is ‘think of the worst thing that can happen to Obama and then cherry-pick a few links to bolster the flimsy prediction.’ I’m not impressed.
