2 months ago, I loved her. Now Rachel Maddow just pisses me off.

[scheming daemons]

The biggest Debbie Downer in the world.


Downplaying the PA win.


Sheesh.


It's like she's not happy unless she's miserable.

[Arugula Latte]

1. Agree, totally.

Ugh! x(

[TwilightZone]

2. She's been a little strange the past few days.

I thought that she was just downplaying expectations to ensure that people get out and vote, but there's little reason to continue that this evening.

[fed_up_mother]

9. She's being cautious. A lot of this calling is done on basis of exit polling

Frankly, I'm not going to rejoice until we get the real numbers from the Secretaries of State.

[Kierkegaard]

3. Same here.

She needs to get on the bus!

[LisaM]

4. Oh, come on. She's a reporter, not a cheerleader

And as I mentioned in another thread, there are still 3 hours to go on the West Coast and we can't have people not going to the polls because they think it's over. Think about that wicked proposition in California and the WA governor's race.

[JVS]

13. What does she report on, her concerns and worries?

[LisaM]

19. Point taken, but I still think she shouldn't jump the gun

and she may very well be trying to keep Californians going to the polls.

[angee_is_mad]

24. No, she is a political Pundit

with a point of view and not a journalist. That's like calling o'reilly a journalist.

[Fluffdaddy]

5. She's a pessimist like me. I understand her

[jayfish]

6. She's Worried...

and rightly so. Cut her some slack.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. wadafa?

her's is a sober, sane voice. Her analysis is her own. Where the fuck do you get off criticizing an opinion, without offering your own, and simply claim that she is "debbie downer"? ? ?

[Lost-in-FL]

8. I can't blame her.

Look what happened in 2000 and 2004. Besides, she is the political expert not like the Faux News kind.

[fascisthunter]

10. she's being a bit neurotic

I understand being nervous and playing things down so that one doesn't get their hopes up too high, but this is a bit much. It's probably her way of dealing with the anxiety she and we all have.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

11. She's an enigma

[Top Cat]

12. I am so over Rachel

[jrockford]

20. Fair weather friends? Jeez, people like her when she says what you want to hear, but now...? nt

[oxymoron]

14. I think she is motivating the voting at the polls that are still open!

I appreciate her realism and the fact that she doesn't take the win for granted!

[Red State Prisoner]

15. I Think You're Seeing a Very Human Rachel

She's worried, and rightly so. We've all had our early optimism shattered the last two elections. I'm not saying your irritation is unwarranted, but I think she's not ready to start doing jumping jacks just yet. Cut her a bit of slack will ya?

[theothersnippywshrub]

16. I still like her. I don't need a cheerleader to enlighten me.

I need cheerleaders for porn.

[Political Heretic]

17. She's my favorite. I'm not looking for a cheerleader squad. I'm looking for analysts.

She and Thom Hartmann are both not stupid. I appreciate their cautious analysis, and if you listen, you'll here that she phrases even her description of potential challenges in an even-handed way.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

21. Danke, Gracias, Graci, domo arigato, aciu, tanx, thank you

PRECISELY.

[OwnedByFerrets]

18. Go watch Faux then....shit, we have TWO, count um TWO

commentators on OUR side and some want to piss on them and throw them under the bus. Think you can do better....go take her fucking job. Fat chance of that happening.

[xochi]

22. Weren't you around for the last two "elections"?

It's not over 'til it's over. They're still actively trying to steal this. I'll breathe after the final point-after-touchdown and I see the numbers on the scoreboard.

[angee_is_mad]

23. her girl didn't win, get over it Rachel!

Hillary sure as hell did and did us proud. She has definitely redeem herself with me.

[ruggerson]

25. Why don't you watch CNN?
