Punditry Vesus Opinion

If Andrew Sullivan honestly thinks that Cheney was “roadkill” tonight then I think he’s completely confused opinion for punditry (see below). I can comprehend (barely) the opinion that Edwards won decisively tonight. But the suggestion that as a matter of political analysis Cheney was roadkill is just completely and totally batty to me. I sincerely doubt anyone at Kerry-Edwards headquarters even thinks that. I really don’t know what Andrew’s talking about. In fact, I’d go so far as to predict that Sullivan is the only big name/mainstream pundit in America who has that opinion (my apologies for the semi-snobbish qualifier but if I didn’t make that distinction, I’d be inundated with examples of various bloggers I’ve never heard of agreeing with him).
