Is today "Step On the Republican Talking Head" day on MSNBC?
Watching them this morning. The host(esse)s seem to all have orders to force the spokesmodels to actually answer the actual questions actually asked.

The questions themselves seem more pointed.

Disproved talking points (tax down to $47K income) are consistently challenged.

The right wing spokesmodels seem to trip when this happens to them.

My head spins when this happens.

The Democratic spokesmodels usually just sit there and smile while their Republican counterparts get their scrotums scorched.

Is the moon out of phase? Have the tides shifted direction? Is a perigee tide predicted?

1. It's all about the money.
Jim Cramer: Obama is a recession. McCain is a depression.

snip...

What will New York look like a year from now? The answer: bad and probably worse, and perhaps downright catastrophic. Three degrees of awful. The first step was passing the bank-bailout legislation. Now that it’s done—and if it didn’t get done we would have been looking at a guaranteed economic collapse—the critical issue will be presidential leadership. And while any president will be an improvement over the current one, there is a growing belief on Wall Street that Barack Obama has the capacity to lead us out of this wilderness while John McCain does not. I’ll go a step further: Obama is a recession. McCain is a depression.

For all the talk about America being a Christian nation, money is our true & one god.

3. So I was watching Meet The Press yesterday...
And found myself wondering, "WTF is Joe Scarborough doing there?" Since when Does this guy have Press Credentials? He barely has pundit credibility. Can we expect to see Olberman on there anytime soon?

4. I think McCain lost his *real* base when he picked Palin.
The big money in this country is not at all comfortable with having evangelicals in the driver seat. By reaching out to what he perceived as his base, the far right and evangelicals, McCain alienated his real base; the business establishment.

7. Doesn't the traditional republican base
refer to the evangelicals as "the crazies"?

Thought I heard that once.
