As for the plausibility of McCain winning PA… We shall see.

DeWeese and Murtha haven’t exactly helped your cause. Add to it the crooked way the gambling bill passed, a complete failure to enact ANY reforms presented in 2005, and a body of Assemblymen with the overall character of the mob and it just might be that the Dems in PA have slit their own throat… Defeat from the jaws of victory and all that.

Besides, a Dem sweep in the nationals this year will force the Pelosi/Reid Legislature to do something other than cry and scheme. I don’t, for a single moment, think the Dems are capable of anything else so I expect your “victory” to be short-lived indeed.

“It’s called SKEPTICISM, people. Develop a healthy dose of it if you’re going to play this game, and your faces won’t be so beet-red as they are today.”

That is rich coming from a member of the same press that has virtually no skepticism regarding anything that comes from the lips of Obama.

What’s amazing is that you are all ignoring the fact that the very people cited in the updates that expressed skepticism were right-wing journalists – namely Michelle Malkin and Jonah Goldberg, and they were not the only ones on the right who doubted her story.

Tell me, oh enlightened journalists of the world: were you this quick to dismiss Crystam Mangum’s story?

What’s scary is how gullible you right-wing members of the new media can be. I’ve been in the newspaper business for 25 years and pegged her as a white Tawana Brawley from the start. But you righties couldn’t skip a chance to make the Left look bad, could you?

It’s called SKEPTICISM, people. Develop a healthy dose of it if you’re going to play this game, and your faces won’t be so beet-red as they are today.

Umm, I pretty much immediately noted that it was probably a hoax. It’s not exactly like any of you geniuses are informing me of something I didn’t realize before you chimed in.

It’s a hoax. You guys are pretty gullible, I’d say.

Scary, indeed. And about as plausible as McCain’s belief that he can win PA.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter “B” in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Ashley Todd, 20, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and “the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction.”

This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.

The commander added that Todd will face charges; but police have not commented on what those charges will be.

According to police, investigators working on the interview process detected several inconsistencies in Todd’s story that differed from statements made in the original police report.

Pittsburgh Police Public Information Officer Diane Richard released a statement earlier today, saying: “Because of the inconsistencies in her statements, Ms. Todd was asked to submit to a polygraph examination which she agreed to do.”

No photos of Todd are being released by Pittsburgh Police at this time.

The investigation is continuing as officials determine what charges will be filed.
