Why Elliot Will Win

Columnist John Podhoretz applies a political model to "American Idol" voting and predicts a winner.  He could be onto something.

Of the three remaining contestants, I think Katharine would make the best Idol (my criteria being someone who can sell records and sell out venues), probably followed by Elliot.  I just don't see how Taylor is as sellable as the others.

Superficial gay guy - I don't even watch and I know she's by far the prettiest of the remaining jesters.

Oh, Taylor has some commercial value!

my favorite thing about elliot is that he's not a conceited ass. in fact everyone in the top 5, when there still was a top 5, was a conceited ass but him. but honestly, i think taylor is landing about 90% of the votes so it will be tough. i kinda care but not really.
