See its one thing to root for your guy... It's another thing to utilize smears, deception, and innuendo to make your point...

For instance instead of championing the fact that your guy has now cleared the 15% threshold nationally in many polls - which Hewitt compatriot Patrick Ruffini was so dilligent to point out, the primary blogger on Hugh's page leads with this:

Huck Falling In Iowa; Politico Throws Him An Anvil
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 5:53 PM

This poll has Huck's lead at 9 in Iowa (Newsweek's poll taken from calls on December 5/6 had Huck's lead at 22 points.)

Ok a little fact-checking here... It was "Lee Newspapers" that found Huck in front by 9% - not Newsweek. The way Hugh writes it and puts them next to each other the impression is that Huck is falling (which he might in the near future - who knows). But this isn't legitimate. I could not find a previous Lee Newspapers poll to compare their present findings to. Their sample was exceedingly small and who knows how they polled.

The more telling polling story in Iowa is the RealClearPolitics Iowa polls page. Here you will find that the AVERAGE of all the most recent polls taken puts Huck in front of Mitt by an AVERAGE of 34.5 to 21.7. Because that's an average - that means that some of those polls mean the margin is LARGER than that. Heck even the Newsweek poll had Huck up by 22.

Even the ever accurate Rasmussen is showing Huck still gaining and now leading in more states than ever before including Michigan, South Carolina, and Florida...

Hugh - you're certainly entitled to cheer for the guy you are bought and sold for (and personally I'd love to see you be the Press Secretary for President Mitt), but to do so in less than sincere ways makes you an operative... and an OPERATIVE is someone "who is not to be trusted as an analyst!"
