NYT's Katherine Q. Seelye is an egregious media whore
There, I said it.


Her article from the Times...

(my comments in parantheses)

<snip>
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 - It was no accident that John Kerry appeared Tuesday on "Live With Regis and Kelly" and recalled his days as a young prosecutor in a rape case. Or that he then flew from New York to Jacksonville, Fla., to promote his health care proposals. Or that on Thursday in Davenport, Iowa, he will preside over a forum on national security with an audience solely of women.

These appearances are part of an energetic drive by the Kerry campaign to win back voters that Democrats think are rightfully theirs: women.

(Which Democrats think women voters are rightfully theirs?! Name them!)

In the last few weeks, Kerry campaign officials have been nervously eyeing polls that show an erosion of the senator's support among women

(Again which officials are nervous?! Exactly what are these officials doing that makes them appear nervous to you? Biting their nails, pacing the floor?)

, one of the Democratic Party's most reliable constituencies. In a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted last week, women who are registered to vote were more likely to say they would vote for Mr. Bush than for Mr. Kerry, with 48 percent favoring Mr. Bush and 43 percent favoring Mr. Kerry.

In 2000, 54 percent of women voted for Al Gore, the Democratic nominee, while 43 percent voted for Mr. Bush.

Democratic and Republican pollsters say the reason for the change this year is that an issue Mr. Bush had initially pitched as part of an overall message - which candidate would be best able to protect the United States from terrorists - has become particularly compelling for women. Several said that a confluence of two events - a Republican convention that was loaded with provocative scenes of the Sept. 11 tragedy, and a terrorist attack on children in Russia - had helped recast the electoral dynamic among this critical group in a way that created a new challenge for the Kerry camp.

Mark Mellman, a pollster for the Kerry campaign, said that the campaign was not especially disturbed by the reduced support from women. "I don't define it as a problem," Mr. Mellman said. "I define it as an opportunity."

(Oh, so here's your example of the nervous Democrats. Whore!)

He noted that a group of widows of Sept. 11 victims endorsed Mr. Kerry last week and offered that as evidence that the women "thought he was better able to protect the country."

2. Wow, this must be phase 2.
First try to erode military support
Then try to erode support among women. Sorry spinmeisters, with this year's March for Women's lives in Washington reported to be the biggest protest march EVER, they need to give this one up.

3. She's so 2000. Even Pickler is more creative. Seeyle is just too plain dim
to think of a new whoring trick that wasn't used against Gore.
