Political bits
A new YouTube video attacking Giuliani. It's pretty good. (One of the questions I have this election cycle is whether the independently produced "viral" videos will have the same level of impact as the 527's hit pieces.)
(CNN) McCain got roasted by some high school students. When asked "Do you ever worry that like you might die in office or get Alzheimer’s or some other disease that might affect your judgment?....McCain then ended the exchange in his quintessential style: “Thanks for the question, you little jerk … you’re drafted.”
(USNews) Karl Rove's next job will be creating a new Bush legacy running the Bush Library. (To replace the legacy he created running the Bush presidency.)
And, OMG, the very last item on the CNN catchall this morning,
The funny thing is, all of the slams on Jeri Thompson are coming from inside the Thompson camp, not from opponents. They're waging an internal war against Jeri Thompson in the press. That's how bad it is inside the Thompson campaign.
(And he wants to run the White House....)

THOMPSON CAMP CALLED "DEVIL WEARS PRADA II": ....According to a Republican consultant, some female staffers on the Thompson campaign have taken to referring to the operation as "The Devil Wears Prada II," comparing the campaign to the movie and Thompson's wife, Jeri, to the lead character played by Meryl Streep. You'll remember (oh, admit it, you watched it) that Streep plays a rhymes-with-witch tyrant who runs a fictional fashion magazine with an iron hand and antagonizes underlings with an impossible-to-please attitude.

Isn't there a similar meme regarding the third, and current, Mrs. Giuliani?

Sort of, but it's much, much quieter.
It's not at all unusual for wives to undergo some struggles of power within campaigns, but Jeri Thompson seems to have taken it to a whole other level, pissing off people until they quit.
They're on their third campaign manager of the year, and not one of them has left because of polling reasons. They've gone through several media people.....
It just seems to be an outward sign of something very messy going on behind closed doors.
Active campaign staff are complaining to the press!!!!
