The insufferable Tom Brokow is on Joe Scarborough and he is trying, so hard, but he is not

happy with the numbers. I'm at the computer and not directly watching but can tell he is starting to voice his doubt about Romney's chances. I'm so enjoying this.

his anchor desk, it is clear he is a republican hack. IMO, he's worse than todd and halperin because people assume that he's non-partisan.

His comments always strike me as shallow and vaguely out of touch. They make a big fuss over him, then he comes out and says "America is changing". Thanks for the update, Tom.

How much of his income is diverted in such a way to reduce his taxes? How much of his income is from investments in which he only pays at most 15%?

Sometimes the party in power is convoluted with your income. It's hard to be media to the masses when safety nets don't matter to you.

Former Rep Dead Intern . . . In his mind he really thinks Obama is going to win!

Can't stand Mr Dead Intern and Brokaw has been a shill for Romney this entire campaign.

I can't wait until next Wednesday morning.

no, tom. you're a racist right wing hack who is uncomfortable with the fact that
a black POTUS is out performing your dear Bush's in every possible way, including
digging us out of the hole that the last republican POTUS left us in.
