Daylight Savings Time ended last night. For those who forgot, you get an EXTRA hour of sleep this morning, and don’t be the first to get to church an hour early!
As Ali G says, “Fo real!”
They are totally ignoring all the elections coming up Tuesday. I wonder if the polls are running so bad for the D's that the word has gone out not to cover these elections.
This should be a record ratings for FoxNews!! The liberals and Whiner in Chief will have a stroke.
Time for some oatmeal.
The bigger the margin of victory in VA for McDonnell the greater the shock to the political establishment in DC.
We need Va to send a message Tuesday. The Democrat party template for 2010 is being tested in VA.
The Democrat Deeds ran on a campaign of personal destruction of his foe. All the Democrat consultants are telling the Dems this is how they have to run in 2010 to win. Make it nasty, make it personal.
McDonnell ran on the issues. He needs to win by double digits. Voters need to send a clear message to the DC mob that they want serious candidates who are serious about issues, not foaming at the mouth Jame Carville clones.
Anything less then a massive McDonnell win will be ignored in DC as a fluke. Voters in VA have a chance to send a message to DC. Let us hope they seize their opportunity.
“What’s up with CNN? Only Republicans!”
$10 says no dems wanted to be on with Boehner.
I love the fact that Dede dropped out. I think that has already sent a message to DC and the GOP. Large votes will just add to that.
Maybe they decided that ratings actually mean something.
That’s what I’m thinking too mathluv. CNN has faltered so drastically this past year, falling behind MSNBC in ratings. They jumped the shark with their lefty reporting to try to compete with MSNBC. Maybe they finally woke up and figured out you can’t out-lefty MSNBC. Perhaps they are going for a more balanced perspective and this is the start of something new. Or not. Only time will tell.
Gingrich is supposed to be on Fox&Friends this morning.
It will be interesting to see how he spins his recent endorsement of Scozzafava, especially after his rather harsh words to Hoffman supporters last Sunday.
[Last Sunday, Gingrich’s elitism showed when he said about the NY-23 race, to outsiders, ‘stay out; it’s none of your business.’].
While I appreciate his leadership in the 1994 mega-victory, Newt needs to just shut his mouth sometimes. He overthinks an issue way too often, and winds up stepping on it.
In any case, his political ambitions are seriously hurt because of these recent events. Newt’s smart, but is he smart enough and can he look past his own ego to notice just how much damage he’s done to himself?
Plus there have been a few instances lately where one of the usual have actually put a libtard on the spot. Campbell Brown most recently...
I guess they feel that being quiet about Fox News for a week will squelchy any questions regarding the feud.
Just saw Major Garrett say that Obama will be appearing in Camden and Newark.
If Republican lose that state it will be because of the buses coming from across bridges, leading to NJ.
Good morning, Alas! I am so looking forward to Rush.
It is a very big deal that he is doing this and points out just how serious this “health care” issue is.
The “public option” is a red herring. The bill with or without it takes over the health insurance industry in this country. The feds will tell insurance companies what they must cover, who they must cover, AND WHAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CHARGE FOR IT.
Thanks for the ping, Alas. Looking forward to Rush on Fox!
I think Haley Barbour should run for President in 2012 !!
Love Bella Puglosi .....she is really “Draining that Swamp” of Democrats !!
Finally after all these many weeks of libs, rinos,commies and other lightweights being ushered out as spokesman for the country's DBM we get the reel deel. Our spokesman and mentor Rush Limbaugh.
There are other shows today but for me there is only one worth watching and I will at 2:00 my first shot.
Morning everyone!!!
Morning AB — early start today!
So ABC, NBC, and CBS are all 100% Dem today. Counter programming to Rush?
Knowing the childishness of the communications of this administration...I’m guessing that Gibbs and Co will ignore the through the roof ratings of Rush being on Fox and use it in another round of bashing the network as not being “legitimate”.
The obvious will be lost on them.
Maybe they’re embarrassed because they are now lower than MSNBC in the cable ratings.
One could only hope.
I think that is why none showed on up the sunday shows last week.
They feel that by giving it a rest for one week the story will be put on the back burner.
They know they lost that battle with most of the other media. They had to back off, at least directly criticizing FN.
He has already sent out a not so veiled message to those who read the absentee ballots that they need not look at the signatures too closelely,after all every ballot should count. This is code to me for acorn is out there on our side and every vote submitted by Mickey or Minnie Mouse is a dem vote so let it count.
These guys could not win a fair election if their lives depended on it.
Right now its pretty close less than a point separating the two.
A patented tactic of the State-Run Media and has been for years. Simply don't report on what to them is unpleasant. Declare it "not to be newsworthy." See my tagline.
A corollary to that tagline is whenever a high-level confab or meeting takes place in any setting - business, government, academia - take notice of who isn't at the meeting rather than who is.
Go Rush!!! Tell it like it is!
Thanks for the heads up on Rush. I’d completely forgotten. I’ll set my DVR.
Thanks for your dedication.
Interesting....can’t wait to see Rush.
Getting ready to watch the only honest talk guest this morning. El Rushbo.
I did like the way Christie nailed Imus(I believe it was) earlier this week when confronted about his weight. Imus asked just how much do you weigh and Christie told the eye man 550 lbs.
It must have blown the eye man away from what I hear.
i would love to see Hoffman (praying that he wins) and all the others that may win next week that are conservative along with Sarah Palin on Fox news!!!!Ha.
Now that would be an “up yours!”
Looks like Wallace might be viewing this thread as well since he gets less than stellar reviews from us,who knows.
Greetings from hot S.Fla. TX.

It still amazes me that all the other channels have let Fox News have the entire middle and right of center all to themselves. Forget the ideology; ratings means profits, and "profits" means the difference between taking an AP feed or having somebody on your own payroll there in person.
And Tim Geithner on NBC must mean it's time for the annual shows about "how to pay your taxes like an important person." I look forward to the tips on how to "minimize" the tax liability, and I also look forward to Geithner going on a tag-team tour with Charlie Rangel when they start their combination tax compliance and ethics tour.
CNN’s numbers are extremely low lately. There are some days Dobbs is the number one show (except for LKing). TVbythenumbers posts the numbers every day (M-F) of all the cable rankings, in case you are interested in watching them day by day. Mediabistro and mediaite also post the cable rankings.
They are totally ignoring all the elections coming up Tuesday. I wonder if the polls are running so bad for the D’s that the word has gone out not to cover these elections.
A corollary to that tagline is whenever a high-level confab or meeting takes place in any setting - business, government, academia - take notice of who isn’t at the meeting rather than who is.
I was all ready to call the local FOX affiliate and yell at them...then I pulled up the podcast...
Then I realized I forgot to change the clocks!
Sigh.....See ya in a few.

Dede dropping makes this a clear race between conservatives and liberals. Not just Republicans versus Democrats. It will be interesting to see how voters react.
RINO Republicans and conservative Democrats have no cover on this election. Even though NY is corrupt, the voters will be voting their values, not the party.
The GOP Establishment still has not learned the lesson that the basic Democrat activist is a lying thug. They still think Democrats think the way they do and play by the rules.
Modern Democrats don't. They play by one rule. Win at any cost. Break laws? Violate Oaths? Lie? No problem for your modern Democrat party hack. It is all about winning at any cost.
