Wolf Blitzer is an Idiot

Traversing Pennsylvania yesterday, I was able to listen to CPSAN radio's rerun of all of the Sunday talk shows on my XM radio.

Denial, desperation, and diversion seemed to be the theme of the day for the republicans when it came to the midterms.

Arlen Specter blamed Clinton for 9/11 and for Bush's defeat of Gore, Bush refused to answer if he thought the current Iraq strategy was working and pretended the question was about tactics, he also promised to bring back his social security dismantling project, Al Haig thought the performance of Rumsfled was only a political question not worthy of discussion, and Elizabeth Dole warned that the terrorists would be here on November 8 if we elected the Democrats.

But Wolf Blitzer, who I find even more annoying than those neocon puppets on Fox, made the stupidest claim of them all.

In his ponderous proclaimative style he informed his listener that "all polls show that" the Santorum-Casey fight "is a very, very close race", with "Casey slightly ahead".

"Close"?

"Slightly ahead"?

Wolf is either an idiot or believes that of his audience.

Hey, Wolf, you moron, take a look at the actual polling data instead of listening to the little voices in your head:

Zogby/WSJ: 10/19 Casey 52.4% Santorum 44.3%
Greenberg Quinlan: 10/17 Casey 54%, Santorum 37%
Rasmussen 10/15 Casey 54% Santorum 41%
Strategic Vision 9/28 Casey 50% Santorum 41%
Quinnipiac 9/26 Casey 51% Santorum 39%
Temple/Inquirer 9/24 Casey 49% Santorum 39%
Keystone 9/21 Casey 45% Santorum 38%
Issues PA/Pew 9/21 Casey 52% Santorum 31%
