Good point. When I saw it on DU...my first thought was that reports of Hillary's fundraising and polling desperation must be true...if she would have her staff announce Carville and Begala were going to push out Mark Penn. It seemed logical since Josh Marshall had been mentioning for days (on his blog) about how bad Mark Penn was doing for Hillary. So...I wasn't surprised at first. More I thought about it though, I wondered WHY would the Clinton's announce something like that right before NH vote. It's not like them to ever admit they are in trouble. But, I thought maybe it would bring in some big bucks into her campaign to have the "War Room" that served Bill so well back in place and would shore up her lagging support in NH if the polls were true. I didn't hear that the story wasn't true until yesterday morning and now I don't know what to think. :shrug:

Who would it help to have this false report except Hillary? Was someone thinking this would hurt her in the NH Primary by making it look like she was desperate and lose her votes? If so it seems to have backfired.

I have no idea what to think, now because it's bizarre that Begala would get into a public fight with Fox news and even allow Begalla post his e-mails back and forth with Garrett. I wonder if Carville has made any comment...I haven't been on DU this a.m. so this is the first I've seen about the Begala/Garrett thing. Who could the Fox News "source" be that they would engage in an e-mail battle? They could easily have said that they thought their source was solid but were mistaken and dropped it. After all most folks know they don't tell the truth at Fox...except their loyal viewers, of course.

I'd be curious to know what you think.
