The Politico today takes notice of something that just about anyone glued to the TV this presidential season has noticed: just about everyone these days is a political strategist.  As long as someone can string together a few coherent sentences and isn't too hard on the eyes, the cable networks can find some time to slot them in to offer their 'expert' opinion on whatever the day's controversy is, even though many of these so-called experts only political experience is volunteering with a Young Democrats or Republicans organization or writing a speech or two one summer as a college intern.

Of course, by the above definition of coherency and being pleasant to the eye, many actual political strategists are most likely disqualified.  Speaking of issues with legitimacy, results from dubious pollsters with questionable or non-existent long term track records have recently put red states like Georgia "in play" while removing a traditional "battle ground" state (Michigan) from contention in this year's Presidential election.  The Politico's article today is a good start, the public is being fed an unending stream of low-fiber commentary.  Maybe tomorrow they can focus their lense on the booming field of pollsters that supply much of the fodder that the fake strategists regurgitate.
