H/t FReeper hotshu.
Billed as a roundtable, it played more like a group therapy session for distraught Dems on the verge. Obama's polls dropping. An inchoate sense this might all be slipping away. Chris Matthews and his guests for the show-ending "Politics Fix" on this evening's Hardball were united in bemoaning Barack's plight. The host himself was the ultimate downer, analogizing Obama's campaign to that of . . . Michael Dukakis.
Matthews fellow sufferers were Jeff Johnson, host of The Truth on BET, and Joan Walsh of Salon.com.

Excerpts from the sigh-in:
Dems in da dumps ping to Today show list.
Special hat tip to FReeper hotshu!
Uh-oh. Looks like that leg tingle was pretty much what we thought it was. BTT.
The “tingle” must be beginning to fade.
Wow - Chrissy looks like it’s election night and McCain has won 42 states. He’s even wearing black! (That’s not racist, is it?)
Obambi Dukakis, I like the sound of that....
Wonder if the Clintonistas will really try to pull off a switch next week? It would tear the party apart.
If Hillary wins the Dems’ nomination, she only has to name Obama as her VP candidate to keep his followers in line.
No switch only the *ITCH will be his VP...bet on it!! The guy is in trouble and SATAN’S SPAWN will pull oSama’s walnuts from the fire!
This is crushing to them on two counts: first, their guy is losing. Second, with all the MSM have done, with all the Obama talking points they have broadcast, with all their endless praise, with their refusal to report his negatives, the American people STILL reject their choice. This is a big blow for them...after all, they know best, dammit
hussein’s starting to get the ‘wreak of death’ about him now.. Kinda reminds me of the hddvd/Blu-ray war. Close for awhile, but hddvd always a long shot. Then suddenly it came crashing down once Warner jumped away.
It’s almost impossible for any public figure/anything to recover once it’s seen as doomed like this.
Thanks for watching, Mark. The propagandists are falling apart like a K-Mart shirt.
Interesting to see which way Matthews is currently leaning.
No more tingle?
Thanks, PG. I can say it truly was a pleasure to watch this crew in meltdown mode ;-)
Obama: Dukakis without the gravitas.
You’re right. At least Dukakis had the balls to get into a tank. As stupid as he looked, at least he had the “guts.”
