Ben Tribbett is a Hack, Part III

At 2:17 today, Ben Tribbett called Virginia for Barack Obama.

This means one of two things. Either a) he wants you to think he's soooooo smart and has all the inside information to be so bold as to call Virginia at 2 in the afternoon or b) he wants to depress turnout for Obama.

If it's option a? Good for Ben, he can read polls. Almost every poll says that Obama is up by nearly 20 points in Virginia. Real bold prediction there, Ben.

If it's option b? Ben shows, yet again, that he is detached from reality and that he thinks his blog actually has influence over Election results. No one, besides the campaign insiders that read his tabloid for pure entertainment and the few people that actually take it seriously, read or even know that "Not Larry Sabato" actually exists. And those that read it already have their mind made up.

Ben is a hack, pure and simple. Oh, and don't forget douchebag. Because Ben is certainly that.
