Fox beat ABC by three minutes. Yesterday's Hotline got the scoop on how a Pittsburgh-area airport mechanic posted information about new decals on the Kerry campaign plane on a bulleting board at 9:44pm Monday night. But it was bgibson on the Edwards Campaign Blog that solidified everything with a post at 6:24am: "Kerry is up now in his hotel about to call Gephardt and Vilsack and say I am sorry but I have chosen John Edwards, I have a friend at the Kinkos in downtown Pittsburgh who has been printing bios and campaign materials that he has been packing with pre-printed.... drum roll...KERRY/EDWARDS logos... You all are the first to know, however, according to this source the literature says, "as you now know either from your e-mail from this morning or the news media..., so you will be hearing this in about an hour or so..." Meanwhile, DailyKos pokes fun at the New York Post for their Gephardt-gaffe. Don't be too hard on them -- they probably got their info from ArchPundit. And CampaignDesk tried talking to a political editor at the Post about what really happened.

As far as a slogan goes, you could go with "More Accurate Than Weather Forecasts." Or "Where The Entertainment Comes First." Or "Only The Local Gossip Columnist Breaks More News."

Since most of the liberal/left blogosphere dreaded Gephardt, this way we all got a nice, unexpected surprise. Much better than if it had been the reverse, don't you think? Look at it this way.

The bands were stamped with the name of the agency, which of course had to be abbreviated somewhat so the birds could still fly. All is going well until one day they get a letter from a rural resident: "Dear sirs, I have been meaning to thank you for adding cooking instructions to the legs of birds as this is very convenient. However I have tried your recipe repeatedly and WASH BIOL SURV just does not taste very good. " You went with the news you had, don't see how anybody can blame you for that. Cheers and best of luck with the elect. problems. :) I am reminded of a story: A few years back a state in the northwest decided their biology department should do a survey of predatory birds–this might have been related to the spotted owl controversy now that I think of it–and so the biologists went out and caught the feathered creatures and banded them so their movements could be tracked.
