Usually last to know?

Don't be. Powerline has a tip that a paper (Washington Post?) is going to run a front page story Monday that will allegedly damage Kerry's credibility. Hewitt continues to predict sound defeat for Kerry and I'm inclined to agree. I heard the mayor (Democrat) of Youngstown, Ohio on the radio the other day and (presuming it was actually him) he reported that Kerry has visited Youngstown some four times this election season. If Kerry visited Youngstown, a Democratic hot, four times then he's probably worried about his own base voting for him. One more advantage of blogging? They create excitement around news stories that haven't broken yet. Yes, the story will be in MSM, but blogging creates the "word of mouth" phenomena that can make "big" stories "huge."
