Mitchell Also Circulated Obama's Conspiracy Theory Over Cancelled Troo

Andrea Mitchell's floating of the Obama-camp accusation that John McCain cheated by overhearing Obama's responses at the Saddleback forum, as NewsBuster D.S.

The Associated Press is so omnipotent that it can divine what poll results mean, even if it directly contradicts what the pollster says about them. The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press announced the results of a poll it did on the presidential race on Wednesday.AP must not have liked Pew's results or its conclusions, because, in an unbylined report, it totally recast them, as…

Did Mitchell Get 'McCain Cheated' at Saddleback from Daily Kos

Hube reported, Andrea Mitchell on Sunday's "Meet the Press" suggested the Obama campaign felt John McCain "may not have been in the cone of silence" during Saturday's Saddleback Civil Forum, "and may have had some ability to overhear what the questions were."

How entwined is the Democratic Party with the nutroots nation? It would seem that they are now getting their campaign slogans directly from them. Despite their efforts to pretend that they have nothing to do with such radical organizations as Moveon.org (one only need look so far as the Petraeus ads), the Dem's do indeed appear to be getting their talking points and campaign ideas from…
