Chuck Todd tonight..."In these last 72 hours...it feels as if the President caught the last break".

[brooklynite]

...and he didn't seem unhappy about saying it.

[spockeye]

1. Covering his ass. n/t

[RomneyLies]

2. Note that he, a pundit, "feels" things about an election

Whereas Nate Silver speaks in terms of the probability of an event.

Statistical analysis will alter political reporting the same way moneyball has altered baseball.

[brooklynite]

8. and you'd disparage Ed Schultz or Rachel Maddow if they "felt" victory was at hand, right?

...or is it just pundits who you feel don't agree with everything you do?

[RomneyLies]

14. They're both pundits, ergo both are part of the problem. nt

[hrmjustin]

3. Todd was a democratic op in years past.

He still needs to remember he is on the "liberal network"

[ncav53]

4. Yep they have to start covering their asses now.

[NewJeffCT]

5. well, it's close enough now that he can say

that Obama is ahead

[progressivebydesign]

6. oh the "last break" as in an epic storm that killed dozens of people???

Yeah.. lucky him. Does Todd realize how that sounds?? The Rovians have been saying ALL Day that Obama may win because of the storm. And pretty much that's what Chuck Todd is saying. Classy.

[monmouth]

16. Romney lost his momentum long before Sandy hit. Sandy has nothing to do with this..n/t

[okwmember]

7. But he's still pushing the idea that the reelection would've been

easier if the president had only forged more bipartisan coalition, and that he ignored the opportunities to do so.
What an ass!

[PsychProfessor]

11. Ah yes so many opportunities!

Wtf is he talking about?? Makes me want to puke.

[Kahuna]

22. Tom Brokejaw was spewing that drunken nonsense on MTP today. nt

[Scuba]

9. Maybe, but the Prez's big break came when the competition was Republicans. They suck.

[forestpath]

10. I thought he sounded very grudging...as if the "last break" was just HANDED to

President Obama...instead of President Obama working his ass off and having to endure the most offensive, racist campaign in history.

God, I hate that goateed turd.

[factsarenotfair]

12. Exactly.

He's giving all the credit to luck and none to hard work.

[Andy Stanton]

13. Todd never impressed me

But I save my insults for the real turds at Faux "news".

[forestpath]

21. I see no need to ration my insults to ANY media asshole.

[Cha]

23. lol +1

[alcibiades_mystery]

25. White people earn stuff, black folks get lucky breaks

Tra la la...

[Doctor Jack]

15. He is trying to save his ass

"It was tied until the very last second". Expect to hear that a lot. Just a bunch of bullshit.

[zbdent]

17. He knows he'll get deposits into his offshore accounts

at least for four more years (if Obama is re-elected).

[ThoughtCriminal]

20. OK...

What?

[falcon97]

18. Also said losing side will feel aggrieved,

not like 2000 or 2004. WTF planet is he on. Dems damn sure felt aggrieved in 2000 and put it aside to work with Republicans. I had to rewatch it, it was such an insane comment.

[Cha]

24. This should have its own OP! That's the upChuckyToad we've all come to know and Loathe.

[smorkingapple]

19. Yet Bush didn't catch the last break with Osama's tape?

Fuck outta here. That'll be my response to anyone who comes with that bullshit
