LOL
When the blowhards come back, it will be a real hardship to be in DC. :-)
Howie continues to replay a clip by Chris saying (of Mitt Romney)
"He is an enormously attractive guy."
Anyway he was a lot more fun to listen to. I can't say for sure, but I think he may have changed after the Clinton temper tantrum.
fupstart?
LOL
Is that like a frosted poptart?
I remember when Chris Wallace interviewed his father he showed pictures of his son and grandson and he seemed so different when was being the proud father and grandfather.

I didn’t mean to imply that the event was suppressed. The “press in tow” comment was about how he had press following along at this heels to document his ambush of Corker. Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way and the press captured it all, anyway. I think he would have liked to suppress it, or at least have “final edit,” but it didn’t work out that way.
It did get a lot of local attention, but Glenn is only local to Memphis, where this happened, in the sense that he’s in the same state we are. He’s in Knoxville, 500 miles away. We’re a very LONG state. It probably got more play in the eastern part of the state than it did here as Memphis is Harold’s power base (primarily urban blacks) and Central and Eastern Tennessee is Corker’s (primarily white and less urban).
I didn’t see that, snugs, but I believe it.
Thanks, Phsstpok.
I think I knew he’d seen the effects when he was interviewed on the Sunday talk shows about two days later. He looked as though he hadn’t slept and he looked very stressed. At that time, the polls we were seeing were looking great for Ford, so the speculation was that the internals were very bad. And lo, on Monday or Tuesday, we saw that they were.
Wasn’t there another incident where he showed that he had a bad temper? Apart from the Corker press conference?
Sorry, I could not help the comment. I’ve been here and out and it’s all I can do to try reading some of the comments. I have to say too, the posting quality is even better. LOL

The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - The Review
By Mark Kilmer
Sunday, August 12, 2007
It was Harold Ford and Markos Moulitsas debating on MTP, with David Gregory moderating. It was nothing. Ford says the Dems need to run to the center, Moulitsas says the country is liberal and the party should be proud to be liberal. They almost embraced at one point, but Moulitsas was angry that Ford blamed Harry Reid and Ford was angry that Moulitsas blamed him for John Breaux. Go figure. But they didn't mess up the playground, so the kids can keep having fun.
Mitt Romney was on FNS, and I thought he did well with the softballs. There was the matter of Romney saying he did not spend money to win the straw poll, which could be overlooked, but there was the more serious matter of Romney continuing to compare himself to Ronald Reagan on abortion. That cannot be overlooked. But on the matter of Romney saying that though his sons did not serve in the military, they served their country by working for his campaign, Romney gave the right answer. He said that he misspoke and that the two were not comparable.
On TW, Brownback is in the race, suggested that there are "three or four" tickets out of Iowa's caucuses in January, and he's hopeful that he'll get one. Later, Dennis Kucinich declared himself to be at the new center of the Dem Party.
On FTN, Jim Axelrod was in for Schieffer, and he interviewed Mike Huckabee. The former governor was on his game, comparing his finish in the straw poll to one of Jesus' miracles and declaring that he was now a top tier candidate. He said that the GOP was pwned by Wall Street and he wants it to be owned by Main Street. And the obligatory shot at the winner: "It [Huckabee's support] was a movement; it wasn't just, hey, we're giving out [goofy yellow] t-shirts."
First on LE, with guest host Joe Johns in for Wolf, was Transportation Secretary Mary Peters. Peters said that it was not that we were spending too little money on the nation's infrastructure; rather, it was how it was being spent. Johns suggested that bridges to nowhere were the problem, while Peters mentioned art museums and the like. Johns played a clip of Newt exclaiming that bureaucratic government was broken and Peters agreed. She reiterated that the problem was with how we were spending the money, though I don't know that Gingrich meant that, per se.
Next on LE, Johns spoke with David Dreier for Rudy, Jim Talent for Romney, and Buddy Roemer for McCain. This was each campaign spinning the current situation in the manner that looked best for their candidate. The campaigns do it on shows like this and for the other media outlets, and people do the same thing here in diaries at RedState. It is one of my favorite parts of a Presidential campaign, perhaps because it can be alternately maddening and confounding.
The complete, show-by-show review is below the fold. ...

Read someplace Daily Kookie day had about 1500 attendents. You have tens of thousands attend pro life events, don’t remember ever hearing any of them on.
Or how about having these guys on some of the Sunday shows. If for NO other reason to break out of the pack and give people some reason to watch.

I figured Brownback was dead from the his opening campaign appearance on Fox News Sunday. Talk about just not Presidential material.
Read it and weep:

Paul sells to the angry fringe talk radio conspiracy nut bomb throwing crowd. He panders to their “I hate everyone because my life sucks” world view. So since he pushes this or that emotional hot button, they worship him Too bad they never look beyond to see the dementia Paul hides in his blatant pandering.
Why Paul will fail is simple. People elect a President based on the whole package, not just his pandering to them on this issue or that
Oh, and it is an off year. No ONE out side the chattering class and the politicans wants this crap to start this early.
We must be nuts to be paying this much attention to it now.
