David Gregory's 3 Questions:

[jenmito]

1. Does Obama need Hillary on his ticket? (He has a double-digit lead among women against McCain right now.)

2. Why isn't Obama farther ahead of McCain? (They just showed a poll where he INCREASED his lead from 3 to 8 points.)

3. Is 2008 a referendum on BUSH or OBAMA?

Where are all the questions about MCCAIN?

[babylonsister]

1. Why doesn't Ford call him on his partisan questioning? It's

patently obvious and unfair, though I'm getting used to the anti-Obama bias.

[TeamJordan23]

2. Ford himself is pretty anti-Obama also. nm

[jenmito]

7. He agrees with McCain on the "gas holiday" scam. n/t

[Clark2008]

31. That's not true.

Look... I realize Ford isn't very popular on this board, but let's not make shit up about him.

[jenmito]

3. Ford seems almost more like a Repub. than a Dem. often.

He doesn't surprise me anymore.

[burythehatchet]

10. He's the worst kind of repuke, a DLC repuke, doing their bidding in our tent.

[jenmito]

13. I agree. I wish he'd stop representing Obama.

[ecstatic]

12. In reference to the Dr. Phil joke, Ford said, Americans don't need jokes

but solutions. :puke:

[babylonsister]

14. I missed that, and I thought Obama's swift, funny comeback was

a highlight to this day. :puke: indeed.

[jenmito]

16. He sure said it.

I feel the same way. :puke:

[ErinBerin84]

20. what a fucking turd.

[Muttocracy]

4. #2 - interesting negative framing... imagine if "McCain pulls ahead of Obama!!" nt

[jenmito]

5. Not to mention he's farther ahead by 6 points than in the last (same) poll.

[Skidmore]

8. #2 is something these talking heads pound on continually.

Better question would be "If McCain is such a powerhouse, why is he behind?"

[jenmito]

11. They also compare the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll with other polls that had Obama way ahead earlier

as an example of how poorly he's doing now. :eyes:

[asdjrocky]

6. What would you expect from Karl Roves dancing partner?

This guy has been a rw tool all along. He just played tough at press conferences to get noticed. All ego, little brain.

[jenmito]

9. I JUST wrote about his dancing with Rove on another thread!

GMTA! :hi:

[TexasObserver]

15. I want to believe they're just trying to make it a horse race.

Their jobs depend upon interest, and they are benefitted by knocking down Obama and avoiding doing that with McCain.

Who ever heard of attacking the non incumbent because "he ought to be ahead by more" in the race? He's winning most demographics against the best the GOP has to offer.

[jenmito]

17. I don't believe that. I think they have a storyline and they're sticking with it-

the straight-talker vs. the guy we don't know.

[babylonsister]

19. I've suggested for an activist action that we collectively go after

the media. Someone has to-this is getting ridiculous.

[jenmito]

23. I would LOVE to take part.

This IS getting ridiculous!

[jenmito]

28. Thanks! I will!

:hi:

[TexasObserver]

21. Maybe so, but I think they mainly want to be watched, and McCain is boring.

[jenmito]

24. He's not just boring. He's a liar and hasn't been called on ANY of his lies-even his lie to the Vet

in his town hall the other day.

[TexasObserver]

26. I wish they'd hold McCain to task, but they are going easy on him.

[jenmito]

29. I agree. n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

18. #4: Why is David Gregory's head up John McCain's ass? ng

[jenmito]

27. His is not the only one. n/t

[Oceansaway]

22. turn that Lurchy lookin thing off...n/t...

[Phx_Dem]

30. He forgot one . . .

4. Why do I have my head stuck so far up John McCain's ass?

[jenmito]

32. Thecatburgler said the same thing above!

:hi:
