Now, now, Rob — us conservatives aren’t giving up — we’re just taking the time to enjoy some new poll numbers!

Today I am struck by the sheer chaos within the Democratic Party. The NY Sun and Matt Drudge are reporting that Bill Burkett – the most imaginative news source since Jayson Blair’s bartender – is preparing to sue CBS for libel and/or defamation of character (I’ll avoid asking just what character the guy had to defame).

Burkett is a well-known Democrat. In fact, it looks like he is in bed with the Kerry campaign between some pow-wows he has had with Max Cleland and a bizare triangular connection between him, the network and an old Clinton spokesman now working for the Massachesetts Senator.

So one must wonder: why would Burkett, a well-known ABB guy, go so far out of his way to make sure that his 15 minutes of infamy extend until as close to Election Day as possible?

If anyone were running this party (and don’t tell me McAuliffe is), they would stop this. But, alas, the Democratic Party seems to be slipping into the quite chaos that allows Kerry to have seemingly more senior advisors than grassroots phone bank workers.
