Joe Offer,

I am in complete agreement with your post, even though as you know from our discussions at the Getaway, we are sometimes on different sides, as I suspect, we are now. (My recollection is that is was a discussion about Cheney failing to turn over the list of names that he consulted on energy policy, and I pointed out that Hillary had done the same thing on her consultations on health policy.) But I enjoyed your discussion as far more light that heat, unlike many of the posts (including some of my own) on the Mudcat.

As for the ensuing CBS case; as I said in another post on a different thread, we may have already seen the October Suprise of this election, though it may become known as the October Backfire.
