p> IN DEEPEST DENIAL BR>Re: The Prowler's Saved by Foley : p>To whom are you directing the misinformation in this article? BR>-- Sterling Johnson p>If I am reading the piece "Saved by Foley" correctly, The Prowler is saying that the Foley fiasco is a Democratic ploy to tarnish the Republicans before the November election. Prowler writes that "According to one political consultant with ties to the DNC and other party organizations, 'I'm hearing the Foley story wasn't supposed to drop until about ten days out of the election. It was supposed the coup de grace, not the first shot.'" p>I have trouble reconciling Prowler's argument that the Democrats are behind this October Surprise with the fact that it was Kirk Fordham, a 20-year vet of the House GOP who leaked the info. p>If Prowler can show me that Fordham is a Democrat, well, then I'll just have to eat crow. But something tells me I'll be hungry. BR>-- David Porter BR>Austin, Texas
