Michael Smerconish is thinking of voting for Obama. The Philly talk show host made the admission in the course of subbing for Dan Abrams on tonight's "Verdict" on MSNBC. He actually did so, chatting with Ron Reagan, while criticizing Obama's flip-flops. But the bottom line is the bottom line.
SMERCONISH: I want to think big picture, and I want to do so by showing you a piece of that which was published in today's Washington Post by Charles Krauthammer, if we can put that up on the screen:
The truth about Obama is uncomplicated. He is just a politician . . . When it's time to throw campaign finance reform, telecom accountability, NAFTA renogiation or Jeremiah Wright overboard, Obama is not sentimental. He does not hesitate. He tosses lustily . . . By the time he's finished, Obama will have made the Clintons look scrupulous.
That's Charles Krauthammer. Ron, I voted for the first time in 1980 for your dad. I have never voted for a Democrat for president. I voted for plenty of Democrats, but never for president. I've not ruled it out in this cycle, because I like this guy. But the events of the last 10 days or so make him seem status quo, make him seem like just a run-of-the-mill politician.

Smerconish says he’s thinking of voting for Obama ping to Today show list.
Smerconish is a wimp. I turn the station when he comes on.
“The truth about Obama is uncomplicated. He is just a politician.”
No you idiot it is what he stands for and the direction he wants take this country. Sheesh!
Smerconish is trying to be popular with the IN-CROWD at MSNBC...
No you idiot it is what he stands for and the direction HIS HANDLERS want take this country .
..and there is the rub.. the most dishonest, untrusted, corrupt, slimy career choice imaginable.
Me: Who f*ing cares?
Sheesh! I’ve heard of Smerconish but has he a traceable record favoring freedom & capitalism with the power of his microphone or pen? I am not familiar with him, but he seems confused or under-informed or lacking in core principles.
Bingo!
From the pro-abortion “Republican” Smerconish, this surprises me not at all.
I don’t care for him either. He’s wishy-washy at best.
This guy lost me a couple of years ago when he kept Pimping Arlen Spector and his all but love affair with Michael Scheuer.
I have serious issues with any person who claims to be a conservative but says he’ll vote for Obama. J.C. Watts also comes to mind in this area.
Beyond pathetic.
Bill Bennet is a much better alternative. 990 AM in Philthy.
I can’t stand listening to him. He’s a lib. Only thing I like about him is when he has Nugent on his show.
His love affair with Spector was what lost me too!
Smirconish is number 45 in the Talkers Magazine top 100.
That means he has around 300,000 listeners.
He is scrambling for ratings and anybody will do.

he subs for Beck pretty regularly
You know, Mr. S is a bozo.
I kind of feel like my Dad did in ‘72. He HATED Nixon but KNEW that McGovern was wrong for the nation. At that time my kid brother (and truth be known, I did too!) read MAD Magazine. During the election, one of the “back cover fold ups” had some jumbled mess of images, that when you folded it the proper way, you ended up with an image of the face of the Statue Of Liberty, with a tear running down her cheek. I showed it to the old man and he said, “That there is the best description of sorry state our nation is in. We are screwed, no matter who wins!”
If McGovern had won, we would have lost Vietnam, the nation would have had all sorts of governmental restrictions put on free enterprise and Taiwan would’ve been sold down the river.
Nixon won and we got Price and Wage controls, the EPA and Taiwan sold down the river.
It took that dope Ford to lose Vietnam.
Ladies and gentlemen, I submit to my fellow conservatives that what we need is not John McCain in the White House, we Americans need ... a miracle.
