The good thing about a Drudge is he's so transparent you can almost see ass his lips are planted to.
This Reid non-story is part of an end-game the Repugnicans are playing as part of what is shaping up as a scorched earth policy. If people are fed up with Congress, then try to spread as much slime as they can and hope something sticks. This Reid non-story is an obvious "Oppo Research" plot that sounds bad but isn't (AP's Solomon tried this several months ago with the "free ticket" scam that turned out to be nothing) but the impression is how Reid is just as sleezy as a Foley or Abramoff...guilt by association.
The "game" here is to find one Democrat...a William Jefferson in the house is an example that somehow his sleeze his equivelent to that of a Ney, DeLay, Cunnningham, Doolittle, Weldon, Foley (put your favorite GOOP felon's name here) and try to get some voter...primarily independents and "loose Repugnicans" to say a "pox on both your houses" and not vote at all.
We are already seeing the "weak on terror" game being played in our local elections. It's strictly an RNC game, and it is having a negative effect. I keep hearing from people we canvass as to how they not only hate the negative ads (almost all cite the Repugnicans as being negative) but how it appears there's more money coming in from outside the district to influence the vote. This could be a big factor on election day.
Rove's hope is to drive down turn-out...the typical GOOP game, but moreso this year as he has a depressed base and one of the last chances to keep a loss from becoming a rout is by supressing turn-out in whatever way possible (and yes, this includes voter fraud).
