Says it might affect the outcome of the elections. He and Zahn were just snickering about whatever. I want to watch Countdown, not track CNN RNC contract work.

1. Perhaps its the Haggard story
Of whom I had never heard of before today.

Check out the Haggard threads.

4. I'll bet it's the Haggard story, too. Brian Williams just mentioned it.
IT's going to be big! There's a thread or six on the greatest.

7. I also assume it's the Haggard
story, and it huge or hugh or whatever. Prepare for non-stop coverage that will obliterate the Kerry story. This is much juicier. In fact, this really is a scandal worhty of the name.

15. Agreed, I think it's Haggard too. That guy is extremely popular
and well respected in the Evangelical community, and they are going to be devastated by this news. It very well could determine whether the RWers go to the polls or not. If they don't, it will be very bad news for the Pubs!

19. Just on CNN:
Edited on Thu Nov-02-06 07:05 PM by partylessinOhio

Democrats will take the Senate!



Edit to add:

Stuart Rothenberg prediction - this is not a poll.

Wolf says this will be the headlines tomorrow.

33. I honestly don't know; I'm just parroting CNN at this point, but have
seen him on all the talking head shows, so he must have some legitimacy.

34. Rothenberg
is one of the best political analysts in DC. Very fair and non partisan.

37. Evidently, a couple of Senate races that weren't in play are now
Kyl in Arizona for one.

It's starting to look like the one guy who won't win is Harold Ford, which is kinda shocking to me. If he wins, there might be a couple of others out there that we had written off who score upsets.

39. Bombshell may be that Haggard counsels Bush often=direct line to WH
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 12:48 PM by wishlist
It has been reported that Haggard had more access and contact with WH as spiritual advisor than even James Dobson of Focus on Family.
