I think Saints evil alter-ego is Dartful. DD's monosyllabic posts are like the exact opposite of the thoughtful, often pragmatic political comments that Saint (rarely) posts...I qualify with 'rarely', since I find it suspicious that he rarely posts in political threads even though he has a background and continued interest in political science, couple that with his diabolical nature of late, it makes sense that he just stir up trouble instead.

Hmmmm...I'm on to you Dartful...

"BUSH WON!", indeed!

That, or Saint is just smart enough to know political threads aren't worth the trouble.
