FNS
Clinton is on FoxNews.
Will this be live or televideo like her last one?
I hope Brit doesn’t hurt himself, falling all over himself, like he did at her last (televideo) visit to FoxNews Sunday.
That ain’t gonna happen!
As I said before, that’s a special one-time thing for the Super Bowl. Today’s episode of FNS will air at 9 AM ET in all markets with Chris Wallace hosting Hour 1 and Shepard Smith hours 2 and 3.
Besides... there are a lot of people here holding out hope for a brokered convention, and at least three people need to still be in the race for that to happen.
“Buoyed by two back-to-back replays of Fox News Sunday on Fox News Channel last week (instead of the usual one), both with strong numbers, Fox News Sunday propelled past CBS and ABC to take second place in the talk show ratings this week for the first time since I’ve monitored the ratings.”
This what I was referring to.
FNS
I’m not sure I can watch poor widdle Hillary being pommeled with all those cotton ball questions from Chris Wallace this morning. One of the might actually cause a mark.
McCain is proud of the endorsements my friends.
McCain is happy with the conservatives, moderates and liberals if there are any.
Then he drops name again.
Mike Murphy talks about a private poll for California that he has seen that shows Obama gaining on Hillary, picking up a half point to a point a day.
(Mike seems to be going native, btw, growing his hair long and sporting a scruffy beard.)
James Carville is just incredibly unattractive.
On FNS, McCain up first. First question: “Can you wrap up the nomination on Super Tuesday”. McCain back tracks on his “I assume I will be the nominee answer” and claims he hopes so, but can’t be certain. (Smart move by McCain with that answer).
McCain will watch the super bowl in MA, hoping to win MA and close out Romney’s bid. He has a rally first thing on Monday morning.
Asks the big question: How will you reach out to real conservatives, and then shows his mom saying “they have to hold their nose to take him”. McCain response is that he loves his mom and her candor, but she is not an expert. McCain says he is doing fine with conservatives. His key is to unite the party, and then starts his regular long list of conservatives who support him. He reminds us he has a strong conservative record, but doesn’t give examples. Although he does discuss Iraq, taxes, big government.
Brings up the vote against the tax cut, and then quotes him regarding his lack of support for the tax cut and his statement regarding tax cuts for the rich and not the poor. This is one of McCain’s biggest problems...and once again, brings up his list of “conservative” supporters.
LOL, Chris asks him: “Don’t you sound just like Clinton and Obama” with your statement on tax cuts. HA!
Pretty boring interview, imho.
If McCain picks Huck as a VP ... I won't hold my nose and vote in November
mornin’...looks like McMedia is sittin in our face today
McFlame- “I was a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution”.
I do not know who I dislike the most-—McCain or Clinton.
OMG .. a split inteview with McCain and Hellary on Fox
BARF!!
Morning AB, All...
Okay, I’m on a roll. Let’s begin with the fine, even-tempered John McCain who is now currently smirking and lying in front of my eyeballs on Fox News Sunday.
“But Senator, you said you voted against the tax cuts because you wanted them to quit spending,” I paraphrase Chris Wallace. “But we have a sound byte from that vote and I quote...’I cannot vote for tax cuts for the rich...’ yada, yada.”
Then the fine, even-tempered McCain laughs that death grimace he calls a smile and says that...well hey, he didn’t say about spending cuts then but he did later, on plenty of occasions.
I’m done with this guy folks. I will NOT vote for him and give me time and I will make an argument for why it wouldn’t be the end of the world if the Hill became president.
Oh no, I’m not espousing voting FOR Hillary, but if a national protest of a write-in vote should become a reality and this action effectively elects Hillary....well give me time.
I despise that man, one cannot under-estimate my rancor enough.
Oh...yeah....talking point one, John McCain, Republican... voted AGAINST tax cuts....well damn...let’s make him PRESIDENT!
FNS
McCain says he would appoint justices who are strict Constitution justices.
Too bad, McCain wasn’t a strict Constitutional Senator.
