Good Morning!Thank you for the thread!

[facedown]

Apparently CBS is doing the vice-presidential vetting for Kerry.

Well, one out of three ain't bad.

???

[SwinneySwitch]

Now there's balance for ya. Your sarcasm is still on!

[MEG33]

I don't think I could bear it!

[onyx]

I agree. Mark was fabulous, as was James Baker.

[dawn53]

Oh please, they're still not talking about putting OCD Graham as the VP?

They think Graham could deliver Florida, they're wrong. Graham didn't help McBride, and he won't help Kerry.

They'll start printing the "journals" again and Graham will be exposed once again for the wacko he is.

[DoctorMichael]

C-Span from ~7:30 to ~8:15 AM had some reporter on who covered the talks between Bush and Fox on US/Meheekan relations. I was struck by his singular mindset of seemingly defending a PRO-immigration viewpoint; the pretense of objectivity was nowhere to be found. I can only paraphrase...................

Caller: We are losing our jobs here in the US!
Reporter: They are losing their jobs to China.

Caller: We can't keep going on like this, with this flood of people!
Reporter: We won't be sending anybody back. Get used to it.

Caller: We are being sucked dry here in the US!
Reporter: We are raising the standards of living down there and MUST give MORE.

Caller: Our taxes are being raised to cover their health care and schooling!
Reporter: We need to provide services to these people.

........and on and on and on. Disgusting.

[onyx]

I "can't" face the nation. Not with that line-up.

[StriperSniper]

That was pretty much what Peter said this morning on C-SPAN.

[SwinneySwitch]

"I wonder why Kay Bailey is on?"

Defend Rick Perry? Mexican immigration? Texas Primary?

[facedown]

Your sarcasm is still on!

Ooops, sorry. </SARCASM>

[Miss Marple]

Chris Wallace turns nasty about the Commission, since Racicot won't back down on the ads.

[mathluv]

I don't see Kay defending Perry - she wants his job. The TX primary won't have much impact. Well, I take that back. We had a LOT of dims cross over last time, probably will this time, too, since dim will not impact prez selection. There are a lot of RINOs running. Maybe on immigration.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'm watching FNS and Wallace just showed a graphic saying over 390,000 gave up looking for a job. How does anyone know this?

[Miss Marple]

OK...the 9/11 Commission didn't work, so now Wallace is carrying the DNC points on jobs. Amazing.

Racicot doing well in refuting all these points.

Wallace whining about jobs.

[SwinneySwitch]

"They think Graham could deliver Florida, they're wrong."

Ssshhhh!!!

[MEG33]

Marc is geting the 3rd degree over the ads."Bush sharply limiting cooperation with 911 commission" President has tried to balance cooperation with protecting security.

Now the economy getting hammered..Marc is doing well.I rather like him being asked tough questions...He gets to answer them.

[Carolinamom]

The sun is shining and I'm ok.......just hanging in now so I can get a dose of sanity from Brit Hume.

I've delayed my opinion on Chris Wallace, but now I think him professional and doing an adequate job........HOWEVER, I just don't warm up to him.

[TomGuy]

TR on MTP: Shouldn't the President testify for more than an hour?

[sheikdetailfeather]

Giuliani is doing GRRREAT! (Answering question about attacks on President Bush's ads on 9-11..)"John Kerry is not shy about using Vietnam in his backdrops. President Bush was at ground zero against the advice of the Secret Service."
