Does anyone else take slight issue with Andrea Mitchell? Or, am I overreacting?

For the second day in a row she asked basically the same question to two different Democratic congress person. I cannot remember who he first person was, I was busy doing some dusting. But, she asked Debbie Wasserman Schultz, "why are the people who were so passionate about Hope and Change not sold on the president at this stage?"

Then she asked her about Jim Moran and him firing his son due to some voter irregularities. My question is how come the whole voter fraud with Colin Small and Nathan Sproul is not getting more air play? ACORN was always on the news!

Also, the country is no longer in a downward spiral like it was at the end of the village idiot's term in 2008.

with the provisional ballot story.

I already got the info from someone in Ohio on a thread here that says it's in BIG BOLD RED letters that you have to use that ballot and cannot show up at the polls to vote.

She also looks flat and emotionless, perhaps she has a chip installed

Of course we know that it's good for ratings, but I think it goes deeper than that. Journalists these days are addicted, root for and almost drive narratives that will make what they are covering more exciting . . . it's great fun for them . . . they're craving a repeat of 2000.

Can't be many. The crazies all watch Fox, and the rest of us have things to do. Don't sweat Mitchell. She's terrible, but on the plus side, everyone knows it.

Or at least her hubbie, Allan Greenspan, is, big time. I would be shocked if she's not.

She said: "Colin Powell endorsed Pres. Obama today.. It would've been a big deal if he didn't endorse Obama." She just talked about it for 2 minutes.. If Powell would've said he wasn't endorsing anyone this time, or if he endorsed Romney, forget about the non-stop coverage!

It's been evident for the last couple of months and I just don't watch her at all anymore. Shame, I used to kind of like her.
