Chris Matthews Just Asked An Extremely Intelligent Question on the Opener to Hardball

[berni_mccoy]

Why is Wolfson raising the point about Edwards outing would have won the primary for Clinton? Why is he ripping open the scab after the fight is over?

Those were roughly Matthews words (he used the phrase 'ripping open the scab').

Great Question. Especially given the fact that Clinton would have LOST SOONER if the scandal had broken before the primaries.

1. maybe edwards and obama made a deal

btw, Tweety loves to use that phrase about picking the scab. Ugh.

[berni_mccoy]

2. HE JUST SHUT WOLFSON'S WHOLE ARGUMENT DOWN! It's crashing and burning now.

He said one look at the polls shows Wolfson is COMPLETELY WRONG.

[DevonRex]

20. Thank God. Somebody in the media had to say it. Because that

was one of the dumbest things Wolfson has EVER said. And he's said and done some pretty darned stupid things in his time.

3. Who knows what lurks in the Minds of the Pub Framers...and he is one of them

[berni_mccoy]

4. You're wrong. Chris is no GOPer.

[Arugula Latte]

5. I think he was referring to Wolfson. nt

[berni_mccoy]

7. Ah, if so, my bad. Yes, I would agree with that.

[opihimoimoi]

9. Some more than others...IMHO.....

[opihimoimoi]

8. IMHO he is...he uses the objective approach sometimes but overall

I see him as Right leaning

[berni_mccoy]

10. He was an anti-war activist during Vietnam, a Peace Corp volunteer and worked for the Carter

campaign. He's no repub.

[Motown_Johnny]

11. He worked for Carter... it would seem he has roots in our party (but his brother is a repug)

[opihimoimoi]

18. Money changes people....I still hold out ...still not entirely convinced

However::: a :toast: to Reason and Common Sense: :Let Obama WIN:

[Political Heretic]

12. No, he isn't.

He's a freelance political junkie, and a dork. :)

He's simply a little kid who happens to love politics... he can be stupid at times, but he really doesn't play for any particular team.

[opihimoimoi]

16. I hope to god you guys are right...but still have question marks on him..

:toast:

13. heh...Tweety just asked if McCain was the "grinch who stole the olympics"

[eleny]

14. I hear his Oly ads are all downers

Hubby has been watching and reported about seeing McCain's ads and they were all attacks. Going for shit stain medal, no doubt.

[Occam Bandage]

19. They are. It's whiplash-inducing when they come on. We have

happy Olympians cheering their national anthems, cut to commercial, upbeat Home Depot ad about their Olympian employees, upbeat Budweiser ad, BARACK OBAMA IS AN EVIL CELEBRITY WHO WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES AND HURT YOUR FAMILY, happy upbeat McDonald's ad, back to the Olympics...

[eleny]

22. One thought warms my heart, though....

They come on the tv when many are taking breaks. "Oh, that old fool again? Time to go make a sandwich".

It hasn't occurred to his campaign that people resent being brought down. You can't even escape into the Olympics without being chased off his lawn.

[Diamonique]

15. Hee hee!

Chris agrees with me that the negative ad that McCain is running is hitting the wrong tone.

And Andrea Mitchell even said the ad is factually wrong!

[klyon]

17. He is all negative all the time.

I think it could hurt him if he never tells the people what he stands for or what he would do. None of that matters if the fix is in george proved that with his negative campaigns.

[DevonRex]

21. Wow. And this is the day I miss Hardball? Tweety is pretty good

when he uses his brain.

I tell ya, between the Grinch commercials and the stupid constant shots of Dubya, watching the Olympics has been a pretty sad affair. Or kind of bipolar, happy when we win and then all the sudden there's the Grinch and we crash.
