ROTFLMFAO At Chuck Todd

If Romney flips five states he's currently behind in he can win the election.


That's like saying if the Charlotte Bob Cats had LeBron James. Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, and Dwyane Wade they would be legitimate NBA title contenders.

Lots of Stories about Anne and what her signature cause would be.

I half feel like going by the local Network affiliates' street-facing studios with signs saying things like "Tell David Gregory to get a job." "Chuck Todd is a waste of bandwidth."

The three-toed sloth's long claws are well suited to an arboreal life but hamper its mobility on the ground, leaving it vulnerable to predators.

"Mitt Romney was known to be able to execute the perfect onside kick. A couple of diplomatic posts and a decent cabinet position could inspire the refs to look the other way. Romney could then call his triple-kick-cover sending extra defenders to line up off-side and trip the receiving team blockers. Works every time."

Something tells me that when Obama wins, the Chuckie types will argue that this is no real victory for Obama, since the Dems should be very worried about 2014 and this hands Christie the presidency on a silver platter. blah blah blah blah

when a pundit gives his opinion on TV you're supposed to come away a little more informed, and a little smarter than you were before you watched him, or her. But Chuck's brand of analysis adds little. It's like he just says anything to fill air time. Gone forever are giants like Cronkite, Sevareid, Ed Murrow.

Since Chuck Todd has been on MSNBC I watch link TV a lot more. This is a part of the GE empire and I guess they are LeftWinggatekeepers. Frame the news so that they look progressive but still promote the Military Industrial Complex. Bravo for Link and Current Tv and Amy Goodman.

If Romney's terrorist cells in those states can pull off the big steal, the American people will lose. Chump is praying that Tagg's company has old dad's ass covered in Ohio.

44. Have you heard the GOP say any of these 3 things?
Sun Nov 4, 2012, 03:12 PM
Nov 2012

Matthew Dowd told ABC News that every time "you feel a losing campaign, these three things happen":

"The first thing happens is, don't believe -- the public polls are wrong. That's the first sign of a campaign that's about to lose.

The second thing, we're going to change the nature of the electorate, and you're not seeing it reflected in the polls.

And the third thing is, the only poll that counts is Election Day. When you hear those things, you know you're about to lose."

I think we've been hearing this for a week or so, what do you think?

Old Arab saying...I guess we just need to look at the silver lining. If they keep saying its close it will motivate voters to go to the polls...even though if they were reporting accurately it would deflate their base. On an aside I can't wait for this to be over this has been the most anxiety I have felt in a long time. If Obama wins by the smallest of margins does he get to claim a "mandate" the way twinky did in 04?

I imagine the little voice in his ear-piece probably tells him to keep it more in the middle. You know, the ratings are really what's important to these media companies. If they told us the truth we'd probably quit watching.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

They have to keep the dream alive somehow. I am so tired of hearing them today. Finally turned MSNBC off and listened to the Blues Channel on Music Choice. I felt better immediately!! Boy, am I NOT going to miss their crap when this is over.
