Back on February 2 (before "Super Tuesday), I analyzed the problems of the Republican party (available here). About a week later, televsion's self-appointed pundits started saying exactly the same thing I posted.

I'm not egotistical enough to think that someone read my post and decided to poach it (well, actually I am, but it's a long shot at best). But the fact that I was blogging it shortly before those pundits were saying it on TV is very interesting.

Perhaps the networks, broadcast and cable, are hiring the wrong people?

The pundits in Washington all agree that Hillary Clinton had the line of the night in last week’s AFL-CIO candidate forum in Chicago with “I’m your girl!” – a figurative touchdown on Chicago’s Soldier Field. At the same time she may have also committed a crucial turnover on a later drive to secure her front-runner status.

Specifically, as she sought to paint Barack Obama and the rest of the field as ill equipped to deal with serious presidential issues, Mrs. Clinton told the crowd that candidates and presidents should not always say what they are really thinking. To the D.C. establishment of politicians, pundits, consultants and party insiders this is as much of a verity as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
