“Tonight, the really big winner in the Wisconsin recall election is President Obama,” MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell said at the top of his Tuesday program after parent network NBC called the race for Gov. Scott Walker over Democrat Tom Barrett.
Over the past several months, the left-leaning hosts at MSNBC have put a lot of emphasis on the Wisconsin recall, saying it was important for current Walker to be defeated in order to maintain the American middle class.
“John Heilemann, I said at the top of the show that President Obama big winner tonight because in the exit polls we saw today that, they were asked, ‘Who would you for president today?’” O’Donnell explained. “Fifty-three percent in Wisconsin, 53 percent say President Obama. Only 42 percent say Mitt Romney. That is — if not the recall outcome — that outcome for President Obama has to be very encouraging.”
Later in the program, O’Donnell said he was basing his declaration off the exit polling for the Wisconsin recall, which some have said leaves much to be desired.
Heilemann took the unconfirmed exit polling data and called it “very encouraging.”
“Very encouraging, Lawrence, and something that the campaign in Chicago sent out as a news release as soon as the earliest exit polls showing the president with the lead came through. They think that Wisconsin is a state that’s pretty solid for them. It’s been blue for a long time.”

This is delicious!
They admit that a press release
to the same effect was sent out
by the White House.
About face!
March!
ROTFLMAO! OMG!
You just can’t fix stoopit....
It was delicious watching Lawrence ODoodlehead scowl while announcing Scott Walker the winner. RachelMadcow was also a beyotch scowling and blaming republicans....They both suck. Can’t wait till they join obamao,s unemployment line.
Which one did they take the red or blue acid, obviously they think they are having a good trip....
White House to state-run media: Give it your best spin.
The Exit poll was wrong about Walker (an actual fact) and right about the November election (speculation)?
And here I thought Ed Shultz and Madcow were the big winners.....
Lawrence O’Donnell’s statement a textbook example of ‘whistling past the graveyard’. Either that, or he’s in a pathological state of denial.
You can bet your last dollar that they aren’t feeling so confident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue tonight. This will probably push the Obama camp to make some desperate moves to save him.
Exit polls are notoriously unreliable. The networks were sure John Kerry was going to defeat George W. Bush, because that’s what the exit polls were telling them.
The newspapers, TV, the internet... all covered by the same legal principle.
CAVEAT EMPTOR.
Which is latin for 'empty cave'. Meaning, if you buy a cave full of gold, and then later find out the gold isn't in there, it's your fault for not checking.
(Sorry, I made that all up)
So... their success is based on you just accepting whatever they tell you, lie or truth, and not change the dial. Your success is based on consulting multiple sources to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Most of the time, success is on 'their' side, mainly due to large flows of cash.
I like how they over look the fact that the exit polls were wrong.
I was thinking more Baghdad Bob.

Another monitor covered with coffee.
Wisconsin voters thought they were being asked “who is the President?”
52% rePlied that S o B oBummer
I was watching something on MSNBC a couple of weeks ago and as they were coming out of a commercial break, they put up a station identifier graphic with the words “Lean Foreward”. The next night, I saw the same thing. I know that they are in the sack with ole jug ears but to use JE’s campign slogan was simply way too much to take. It adds to the confirmation that the LSM is totally and without a doubt, in lock step with THE 1. Sickening!
