7. No, you know Hillary will win there. She's had the advantage for months.

12. Not really
The only reason she had an expected win was because it was expected that the Culinary Union would endorse her.

I'm quite sure that Obama will pull off a slight win today.

3. Obama has won about 1 poll in NV, Clinton about 100
Makes sense in MSM land.

8. True, but what evidence could MSNBC really have that Obama is the front runner
Even though this state is hard to poll, she has the lead in every single one except one.

14. None. There is no evidence period
There is no computer model to figure out who will actually caucus in Nevada and who won't. There is no basis to determin which type of machine politics, old line Democratic Party or old line Union, will be more effective on this playing field. It is all new and untested. This is not an election.

5. Norah repeated the Clinton talking point that he said the reps were the party of GOOD ideas
Even though she played the clip and he didnt say it.

6. Repigs more scared of Obama than they are of Clinton.....
They feel that can beat someone running on 35 years of experience that doesn't really belong to her.

10. Hmmm, was there an actual lawsuit filed against Chris Matthews?
Lately they've been nothing but a 24-hour Hillary commercial.

11. GE/MSNBC is salivating over a McCain-Clinton matchup. Keeps the MIC in business either way.

13. Obama is going to lose NV (in all liklihood)
As far as I'm concerned, it's an accomplishment to be competitive there at this point. Media wants to set Obama up for a fall so they can have an Obama's last-chance story for SC.

pathetic

17. Please calm the hell down Cal...please
The MSM is setting up their narrative...it's what they do. If Obama wins, it'll be because of the union endorsements (even though for all intents and purposes Nevada is a Clinton stronghold supposedly) and they'll have their comeback story after NH. If Clinton wins, it's a comeback period because she didn't get the endorsements...then she'll be the established frontrunner.
