31. Can we please not have 20 word threads?

This is not Twitter, FCS

2. What a fucking asshole

[stopbush]

15. WTF? Last week on Tweety he was saying that newspaper endorsements don't matter anymore.

Of course, that was in reference to President Obama picking up endorsements, IIRC.

[madaboutharry]

3. What is rac?

What is wrong with Fineman? That is the dumbest ass thing I ever heard him say. Oh wait, after Bush gave his 9/11 speech, Fineman said that Bush was just like Churchill. I guess that was dumber.

5. Was That When Him And Tweety Were Waxing Eloquently About His Codpiece?/nt

[madaboutharry]

7. No, it was the speech Bush gave to the country a few days after 9/11.

8. That Speech Wasn't Bad

I was referring to when he flew into the aircraft carrier to mark the "end" of the Iraq War.

11. Fineman said Bush was just like Churchill.

Fineman can be a drama queen.

4. Who is he referring to?

6. The President Might Lose The Race Because He Didn't Get The DMR Endorsement, According To Howie./nt

[southernyankeebelle]

25. Thanks. Well I don't vote on a newspaper's endorsement.

[DrToast]

9. Figures a media guy would overestimate how much he thinks people give a crap about the media

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Because The President Didn't Give DMR A Reacharound...Too Much...

[fugop]

10. I want some of whatever he's smoking.

[BelieveMe3]

12. perception is reality

That's the issue-currently Romney has more endorsements and it gives off a perception of electability. That was not the case in '08. Obama had more. DMR hasn't endorsed a republican since 1972 I believe. But WHO CARES? Do those really matter?? NO! Neither campaign is perfect and can't be expected to be Howard Fineman!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. He Called Out Nate Silver

Nate Silver predicted 99% of the races in 08. Fineman couldn't even predict the demise of the magazine he formerly worked for.

[regnaD kciN]

17. At least he didn't call him "effeminate"...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Dean Chambers Also Said Silver Was Of "Average Intelligence"

People of average intelligent don't graduate from the University Of Chicago and go on to sell a statistical package to the MLB and write books about probability.

[wishlist]

27. Obama has 50 endorsements to R's 27 or so-even Repubs say so

According to SE Cupp, the Repub pundit on the Cycle on MSNBC, OBama has almost twice as many endorsements plus Obama's are from papers with much higher readership. Advantage is OBamas

[RomneyLies]

14. Howard Fineman has officially sharked the jump. nt

[regnaD kciN]

19. By Fineman's standards...

...shouldn't Obama getting the Salt Lake City Tribune endorsement mean that Romney is doomed? After all, it means Utah is sure to flip Democratic, right? Right?

[hisownpetard]

20. Fineman is just a dark cloud, looking for someone to rain on. eom

Can't stand the guy. and his opinions are worthless.

Besides, I liked him better when his hair was 15 shades of maroon.

[EC]

21. His tweets the night of the debate were bad too,

but then when on MSNBC he was just the opposite of what he was tweeting...I'm wondering if this is really his account?

[progressivebydesign]

22. you gotta wonder how much scotch these guys consume nightly. nt

[D23MIURG23]

23. Translation: "I don't really have an argument, but I want you to think Rmoney is doing well" n/t

[underpants]

26. Newspaper endorsements are still relevant!!!

I have read several threads in which Nate Silver is the new enemy.

Sounds like they are scared that he will expose them and that they are trying to browbeat his analysis.

[D23MIURG23]

30. In aggregate maybe, but if they have an effect it should be measurable in polling.

The assertion that "Obama may loose this race" doesn't follow from the observation that one swing state newspaper endorsed Rmoney, and Fineman's statement that "it isn't scientific or quantifiable" is an admission of that.

Fineman is bullshitting.

[malokvale77]

24. Oh please.

[lillypaddle]

28. Odd

Howard Fineman is usually an ok-guy, and has always seemed supportive of Pres. Obama.
