Chris Matthews spluttering that Obama loses PA 57-44...
and I think he actually wants us to believe it. I'm thinking he wants Hillary to be the nominee and Rendell to be the VP, leaving Matthews' brother an opening to run for Rendell's office. Plus, Chris himself admitted to Colbert the other night that HE (Chris) wants to be a senator. This is all informed supposition on my part, but it looks like a motive for "slant" to me.

But 57% to 44% - that's 101% in my book. :shrug:

40. Tweety's just a weathervane.
Like that old Dylan song says "You just want to be on the side that's winning."

Bob D had Chris Matthews to a T. The cool kids at the Georgetown coctail parties are all with Clinton.

2. Good. I'm glad he's saying that.
Lowers expectations, and sadly, it sounds realistic. What are they saying about the debate?

It's going to be close. Very close. Spent a lot of time in Pa. when daughter played hockey.

I am a New Yorker. Former Hillary supporter.

average American.

Poor Tweety, receiving invites to all the upscale soirees by the power players (both parties) of the D.C. Beltway Elites yet this jerk criticizes Obama for "talking to the rich" in <shriek> San Francisco. :eyes:

Chris Matthews and many of these other pseudo-journalists SERVE THE RICH.

38. Thanks for those links - I feel more justified in my opinion...
of Tweety now. I have to mix metaphors to describe how it seems he operates - He goes out on a limb without a leg to stand on. Every single time I see him.

in on Hillary now you will begin to see the flip-flop Tweety does. He really does he think he knows what all of Pennsylvania thinks because he used to live there.

That Obama's winning big.

Tweety calling elections is like when Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder predicted football games for CBS - I won many a pool going OPPOSITE.

as any kind of "expert" came from. I'll never be able to forget how he drooled over our Kamanda-in-cheef on the Mission Accomplished aircraft carrier landing. What a man-crusher he is.

25. Amazing, isn't it?
He and Timmy are treated like demigods and I don't have a clue as to why. He plays hardball, pffft. I was so angry the last time Elizabeth Edwards was on I wanted to reach inside the TV and hit him. I quit watching both a long time ago and only turned on Hardball because Elizabeth was on.

MSNBC has Rachel Maddow. She makes the both of them look like 1st graders, not that I wish to insult a child.

Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 04:54 PM by ShortnFiery
The American people "tuned in" to hear MUCH MORE substance, whereas Tweety and the media elites think Obama lost because he was "straight but classy" ... they want a f**king cage match.

People are turned OFF by all this bullshit SPECULATION about inconsequential questions. They're sickened by "politics as usual." DAMMIT, the American people are sick of sports analogies and want our politicians to talk about what they are going to do for US. :grr:

On Edit: I'm sorry to swear a "Bullshit!" - no disrespect intended. I'm a little "fiery" today, i.e., and most everyday. :blush:

28. She might.
She needs a bigger win for it to make any difference delegate-wise. A 13 point win isn't enough for her. It is better for Obama to cut it to under 10, but if it is 13, it's okay.

44. Did you notice Tweety and Gregory are starting to spin out a
narrative for a McCain election in the fall? The big war hero steps in as hero to save the nation. They are trying to script the GE now and I so want people to stand up and derail their little reality show.

accomplished that he would jump back on the Hillary and McCain wagon.

48. I started looking at Tweety sideways when he got McCain
on the college tour and didn't ask him ONE DAMN question about the economy. Not One! Even when Eugene Robinson specifically suggested he be asked about his plan to privatize social security and the economy in general. He wasn't asked ONE QUESTION about economics. That validated my opinion that Tweety is in the tank for McCain. The entire MSM is in the tank for McCain. They will give him a free ride. That is why the Dems will need at least 200 million for the GE just to compete and combat the MSM's shilling for McCain. We must get the truth out.
