Syl,

In order to understand Fox’s policy on letting the DNC bobbleheads chatter away you have to place yourself in the undecided pool. Imagine yourself as one too slow to have made up your mind by this point and think about whether you would be more likely to be swayed by someone making a calm, reasoned statement or by someone who is obviously rude and totally negative. Fox lets the bobbleheads chatter for the same reason they hired Estrich as a commentator. She’s not just a world class loser, she’s also totally obnoxious. Perfect for long sermons to the choir but not one you would choose as an evangelist.

Whenever you see a particularly obnoxious Dem operative going nuts attacking W think about that befuddled undecided voter. The fact that in late September the DNC is still using the “we hates Bush” cattle prod is very indicative of how low base support must actually be. I estimate that at least 80% of the moveon morons are under thirty and in need of constant stimulation to keep them focused. That’s what all the negative garbage is about. Well, that and the fact that there is very little to say about Kerry that could be considered to be positive.

I wonder if CBS is considering having him host “How to Marry a Billionaire” in the spring?
