Politico is a hack news organization. The same guy who wrote this article has been caught before stretching/creating the truth. I support Fred, but am not going to condemn Romney until there’s proof. I believe it’s an honest attempt by Politico to unduly influence the election through one of their hacks.

I suspect Romney was responsible for the anti-Mormon push polling as well.

At least George Stephanapolous said Fred Thompson had a great night at the debate.

It’s easy to assume Mitt passed the rumor, but I’ll wait for evidence.

It’s a shame that Fred Thompson lost momentum. He started so well. He needs to boost his camp by attacking a little more his competition, especially Giuliani and Romney.
His stands are impecable, he just needs to prove that he is strong by attacking and by overshadowing all of the others.
Iowa could be his if he starts to show his real character and that he is a hardcore anti-illegal immigration, pro-life, anti-gun control, fiscal responsible, anti-jihad, pro-troops, but especially he needs to show he is a master on foreign affairs and that U.S. interest will be accomplished not through vague multilateral agreements, but rather through pushing true genuine American foreign policy that is not dictated by Saudi Arabia.

“The real scandal is from Politico spreading the rumors without any verification.”

Amen. While the MSM outlets have their paid subscribers and a board of directors, all we have as bloggers is our credibility. And that is hard earned.

Unfortunately, to some extent, when one fouls up, it reflects on the whole Blogosphere.

You’ve done a good job of jumping on the problem before it gets legs, and parsing the details.
