Bob Novak: Talk About "Duh!"

So I guess Novak is at a point where real reporting equates to watching Fox News. Via a freaking Drudge very top of the page header, we find this:

Here is our New Hampshire outlook based on a personal reporting trip by Robert Novak:

The problem is, Novak's entire analysis on the Republican side is based upon a televised Fox / Luntz focus group the blogs have been discussing and linking for days.

I'm not suggesting Novak didn't run up to New Hampshire. But one does have to wonder if he ever really left his hotel. Hopefully it had a bar.

After Saturday night's ABC debate, Romney, from neighboring Massachusetts, seemed to be in freefall. The other candidates personally dislike him, and they ganged up on him. The only problem for McCain appeared to be that he overplayed his hand in going after Romney with too much vehemence and personal animosity.

But Romney made a remarkable comeback in Sunday night's Fox News debate, dominating his opponents. He capitalized on McCain's weaknesses on tax and immigration policy. We attended a focus group of mainly undecided Republican voters arranged for Fox by pollster Frank Luntz. They entered the room before the debate widely divided and left it after the debate heavily for Romney -- because of the immigration issue.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee never was expected to repeat his Iowa win in the less fertile soil of New Hampshire, but his performance in the Fox debate was truly dreadful. The Luntz focus group hated Huckabee's refusal to answer questions about his record.

Also, some one must have taken McCain to the woodshed , in fact he almost was so mellowed out you almost wonder if he was sedated on the second debate.
