Mickey makes a good point about the media non-coverage of the John Edwards "Two Fathers" scandal - if the press wants to help out The One they ought to bury Edwards for him expeditiously:
Will the Pro-Obama Bias Turn Anti-Edwards? At this point, does Barack Obama want John Edwards to even show up in Denver, much less give a prime time speech? Even if the Love-Child saga progresses no further than it already has, an Edwards Denver appearance will inevitably be accompanied by renewed speculation about his seemingly scandalous and politically toxic behavior...
If you're an Obama strategist, mightn't you conclude that the best thing for your candidate would be if the press weighs in quickly and definitively concludes that Edwards is guilty, with the result that he and his whole sordid story go away until after November? ...
My free advice to Mickey is also a challenge to my readers - this "Love Child" scandal is going nowhere without a catchier name. And no, I don't think "WaterChild" will get it done.
I am floating "Two Fathers", but that precedes my first cup of coffee, so I know we can do better. As a fallback I am toying with the John Edwards "Heart is a lonely Hunter" scandal. But, like John, I am hoping to find something special!
I think Obama only up 9 after the week that was is not a good thing for Obama.

Well, Gallup polled on Sat which always favors the Dems--OTOH Quinnipiac reports McCain has pulled even with O in Minnesota and is slightly ahead in Colorado..So there you are--something for everyone.

I will do my bit. Georgia will go for McCain. You heard it here first.
And it won't matter who the Veep candidates are.
So there.

My favorite was "The Breck Bang" from that guy, Elroy Jetson.
Since I came up with it on a Sunday morning, my Catholic guilt tells me I'm going to hell. See you, Johnny!!
