From post in Progressive Independents:<br>Robert Sterling<br>Editor, The Konformist<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.konformist.com">www.konformist.com</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.buzzflash.com">www.buzzflash.com</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>If Bush Voters Read the National Examiner and Globe Tabloids, It's<br>Not Looking Good for George<br>Created 10/20/2006<br>A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS<br><br>You won't read it on the front of the New York Times (although they<br>were eager to place under a microscope every salacious inquiry into<br>the marriage of the Clintons).<br><br>But you will find it blaring as the front-page stories of the<br>tabloids read by Bush voters in the fly-over states.<br><br><0>"Bush Marriage Over! Laura Erupts After Drinking Binge," is the<br>cover story of the October 23, 2006, National Examiner.<br><br><0>"Bush Divorce Deal: Laura Wins, Condi Loses," is the "World<br>Exclusive" that the Globe ran in a photo-filled cover on August 14,<br>2006.<br><br>You may want to patronizingly dismiss tabloids, but remember that<br>they almost did Bill Clinton in, as the mainstream papers cribbed<br>from them to run front-page stories on Bill and Hillary.<br><br>This time, the mainstream media is adopting a double-standard and<br>avoiding the allegations that the tabloids are boldly making. But<br>the point to remember here is that the real readers of these<br>publications are, in large part, the people who normally have voted<br>for Bush.<br><br>Many of them are religious, and they aren't going to look kindly on<br>the charges of boozing and philandering by Bush. Not at all.<br><br>If you are wondering about what might hurt Bush the most in the red<br>states -- and have a spillover effect on the Congressional races --<br>these covers from the National Examiner and Globe may have more<br>impact than FoleyGate and the Iraq debacle.<br><br>Don't snicker. This is the kind of grass roots tar that sticks.<br><br>Who knows, it may even be true.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
