The political fallout. Or maybe not.

Interesting stuff I haven't seen in most news stories: Most people polled don't blame Bush for the disaster in New Orleans. So says one ABC/Washington Post poll and a USAToday/CNN poll (you'll have to dig deep in that story to find that tidbit). I also heard second-hand that Cox News Service either had their own poll or did an analysis of the numbers, but I can't find it.

ABC published a story on the numbers. I didn't see any Washington Post story on it.

...


JUST got off the phone with Gannett News Service, asking why wasn't anthing done with the Bush poll numbers instead of a burial in a story that didn't make the wires? They didn't do a wire story about the numbers at first because they were going to write a story off some of the other numbers (rebuilding New Orleans), and then today they decided not to a story at all. So the interesting numbers will just get buried.
