Different Wolf, same sheep's clothes

We've got a new Wolfie in the political stratosphere.  In the place of a lying neoconservative, with hawkish tendencies we have a Monday morning quarterbacking liberal with a knack for believing and disseminating half truths.  Howard Wolfson, communications director for HRC's presidential bid, claims that his candidate would have won Iowa had Edwards, and all his glorious hair, revealed his scandalous tete-a-tete with a party-girl-videographer prior to the caucus.  Wolfson's logic is as follows:

Edwards reveals scandal--> Sir Beautiful Hair's voters, disgusted by his lack of 'family values, ALL vote for HRC--> HRC WINS Iowa--> Obama loses steam and doesn't even make it to Super Tuesday--> Election over by Super Tuesday

In other words, HRC's original plan of a February 5 primary finish line would have held true if only the biased press had broken the Edwards' affair in time.  But they didn't.  And Obama won.  Thus, one may wonder why new Wolfie is acting like old Wolfie- picking unnecessary fights and playing psychological war games instead of engaging in reality.
