Caught!

In his "Media Notes" column, Howard Kurtz begins:

There must be a reason that three of the biggest pundits on the right have suddenly declared a preference for Howard Dean winning the nomination. Here are some possibilities:

1) They have undergone an ideological conversion on the road to Damascus.

2) They're bored with the primaries and just want the other Dems to fade away so they can get on to the main event.

3) They believe Dean's going to win and don't want to seem out of the loop.

4) They're not totally sincere.

Like I said, we've been caught. Our little cabal - Republicans for Dean - wasn't ingenious enough to slip past the watchful eyes of those who know a strategy to marginalize the Democrats for a decade when they see one.
