Dick Morris: Party Disparities Aren’t Main Cause of Polling Inaccura
Veteran pollster Dick Morris who has worked for politicians of both parties has joined the fray in discussing recent polling featuring unusually large numbers of Democrats proportionate to Republicans.

CNN Resorts to Questioning Appeal of Jack Nicklaus Endorsement of Romn

Comedian Conan O'Brien Mocks Elisabeth Hasselbeck for Asking Serious Q
It's no secret that late-night comedians traffic in yukking it up over simple stereotypes about presidents. Clinton was the horndog-in-chief while George W. Bush the bumbling boob.

The Media Who Cried ‘Bad Week
If you only get your news from the cadre of liberal journalists who call themselves the “mainstream media,” you no doubt think that GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney probably ought to throw in the towel by now.
