Watch it, Blitzer. You are going to hurt your back bending so hard backwards
to accommodate the loonies who say that McCain can still recover.

Hugh Hewitt? Of all people?

I used to live in Orange County, California, when he had a monthly column in a freeby publication. And I remember him always "predicting" with absolute certainty, that whoever was running against Feinstein or Boxer, or the Republican candidate for the governor, was going to win.

And he is such a demagogue. He was supporting a special school levy and I went to a meeting when he talked. Nothing about the balance sheet of the school. Only pointing at a teacher sitting in the front row saying how she, and others, were going to lose their jobs if the measure failed. (It did).

He still has not changed. Was taking about "vandals" against the Republicans, mentioning how the house of Norm Coleman was defaced. Hey, Hugh, all the Minnesota members of the Congressional delegate living in the Twin Cities Metro area got the same "treatment" on their houses. Democrats and Republicans. With exactly the same message.

I love this description of "Hughcifer"

1. What Hewitt said.. about Catholics vote?
BLITZER: Can he still do it?

HEWITT: Oh, absolutely. Four polls in four days, Wolf. I know they're not covered much in the media, but if you look at the "Investor's Business Daily" poll today, the poll, it's down to 1 point. Yesterday, it was three point seven. On Tuesday, A.P. had it at two points. And on Monday, Battleground said it was one point. And the IBD poll, the TIPP poll, shows a 20 percent -- a 20 point swing among Roman Catholics to John McCain in just the last few days, meaning that there are a lot of people making their minds up. And I think this is why Barack Obama is worried about Pennsylvania, worried about the battleground states, where they have a large Roman Catholic population.

BLITZER: So as John McCain says, he shouldn't be measuring the drapes in the Oval Office yet. That's what I hear you saying. And that's probably good advice to the Democrats, because some of them, as you know, are becoming pretty confident right now when they look at these battleground states where they're campaigning and the numbers coming in these latest polls, whether in Florida or Ohio or Pennsylvania or elsewhere.

The big story of the afternoon, Wolf, is that a McCain campaign volunteer was assaulted in Pittsburgh -- had the letter B carved in her cheek. Yesterday, Norm Coleman's house in Minnesota was attacked. He was threatened. The FBI is investigating.
