11. All 3 have had a losing record when it comes to predictions, especially Tweety....

However, I'm shocked at Larry O. I expected this bullshit whining from Rachel. She gets on my fucking nerves with her doom and gloom. I don't watch her anymore because I can't take her cowardice. While she's very smart, she doesn't stand up to Republicans strong enough on these Sunday morning mainstream shows; she giggles with them and plays too nice. No, thanks. As for Tweety, well, we all know what he's about.

But when it comes to Larry O', honestly I'm very surprised. I would have expected to see Ed Schultz on this list, not Larry.

I haven't watched any MSNBC at all.

I think the network has done a grave disservice to Democrats as the supposed "liberal network". All the doom and gloom may have depressed the vote. Constantly telling voters that Republicans will win and victory for Republicans is inevitable does nothing to get people out to vote. It is defeatist! For the so-called liberal commentators who participated in that defeatist rhetoric--yes, Rachel and others--I think they are incredibly irresponsible. And so I will not watch their shows.

I've been saying this about Rachel for years, but you can't speak badly against Rachel Maddow Liberal_Stalwart71 Nov 2014 #13
I find Rachel personally very appealing. Blue Idaho Nov 2014 #14
Agreed. Great point. Larry was my favorite because he seemed most reasonable. Liberal_Stalwart71 Nov 2014 #16
Very well said! Blue Idaho Nov 2014 #17
I'm in Maryland, so I'm lucky. However, the race for governor is much tighter than it needs to be. Liberal_Stalwart71 Nov 2014 #18
That's dissapointing, especially from Lawrence. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #9
