The MSNBC media types were giddy this morning with the possibility that the two would be at each other’s throats. The media in this country is embarrassing. They root for the very things they claim to oppose: negative campaigning, HRC bashing MUP’s head into a podium. I mean, they are the ones who are divisive. They are probably calling on Sean Hannity’s bitch, Bill Cunningham, to moderate.

Imagine the reaction if Nixon had complained about getting the first question all the time or his opponent being treated with kid gloves. Hillary is a pussy – the terrorists would eat her alive.

Russert wants to nail a candidate with a question like the one to Dukakis about if he would change his mind about the death penalty if his wife was raped and murdered.
He isn’t trying to elict information from the candidates to help people decide who to vote for, he wants to ask a “gotcha” that will tank a whole campaign.
Next Question: “Mr Obama, would you like to ride in my mobile assault vehicle?”
Yeah, it’s like watching a bad stand-up comedian try to get a cheap laugh. Modern journalism lacks talent. And the producers for these shows couldn’t find it with ten Edward R. Murrows tied to a pole.

The MSNBC media types were giddy this morning with the possibility that the two would be at each other’s throats. The media in this country is embarrassing. They root for the very things they claim to oppose: negative campaigning, HRC bashing MUP’s head into a podium. I mean, they are the ones who are divisive. They are probably calling on Sean Hannity’s bitch, Bill Cunningham, to moderate.

Obama made Clinton look small with “reject and denounce.” Game, set, match for this debate I think.

This is all Abe Lincoln’s and Stephen A. Douglas’ fault. The press/media has been trying to reproduce those debates for 150 years. What they don’t seem to realize is that if Russert, Matthews or any other talking head had moderated those debates the way they do ours, there would have been nothing worth remembering or trying to emulate.
Also, has there been any modern politician who can be described as erudite since, who? Stevenson?
Almost forgot to blame, who was it, Theodore White? The hagiographer of the Kennedy-Nixon debates. His fault too.
Mary
Whoa. Hillary is basically conceding. She sounds so defeated.

Which is why “ZOMG, I’d NEVER vote for Candidate X, his supporters are sooo mean!” be some crazy shit.
Unless you’re looking for an excuse to quit voting.

I don’t have MSNBC, didn’t watch the debate.
Watched CNN this morning, and NPR in the car. (trust me, it’s difficult watching the radio while driving)
The big take away from the debate…
“Senator Clinton, her campaign at least, has constantly sent out negative attacks on us,” Obama said. “We haven’t whined about it.”
I say… Well played, sir. Well played.

And last nights big news story, which I am going to repeat again.
John McCain disavowing comments made by asshat radio personality
I think it is incredibly important that Democrats make hay out of this. I mean, they congratulate John McCain on being an honorable man trying to run an honorable campaign, so unlike previous ones.

Agreed. If more Democrats thank him for this, more Republicans will stay home in the general.

Next Question: “Mr Obama, would you like to ride in my mobile assault vehicle?”
Yeah, it’s like watching a bad stand-up comedian try to get a cheap laugh. Modern journalism lacks talent. And the producers for these shows couldn’t find it with ten Edward R. Murrows tied to a pole.
Zifnab
Haha. I can totally see the 527 ads now.
“Thank you, John McCain, for standing up on dignity and respectability. You are truly an example for your party and your country, and we embrace you as an American Senator and an honorable Presidential Contender.”
“This message paid for by Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and George Soros.”

Who says that a Democratic president would have nothing in common with the Republicans? John McCain won’t release his tax returns either.

Cue don Meredith, this party’s over.
Im sure lukasiak will be here soon to run his shell game over the numbers and whine that it’s all Tim Russert’s fault.
Please help the fat lady into her gown, she has a concert next Tuesday.

Is that a chin scratch in a “What the Pfargtl?” kinda way? Or just a generic pondering kinda way? Or a “they make a cream for that” kinda way?
