Morning Joe can’t deal with the truth: excludes Republicans for first 69 minutes today. Ping to Today show list.
It was probably better TV with just Dems. Watching them spin and wring their hands must have been delightful.
He was “69-ing” Obama.
Meh. Kinda glad they ran only Democrats. The backpeddling and spinning must have been EPIC.
CNN wasn’t must better last evening.
At the poll closing (8:00 CT) in WI, Wolfie comes on gleefully saying that the Walker-Barrett race was at 50%-50% — based on exit polls.
However, early returns showed Walker hovering around 60%. That number wavered some, but Walker never lost the lead.
CNN, rather than bothering with the ‘uneventful’ returns in WI, turned their programming to reruns of events in Britain heralding Queen Elizabeth’s 60 year reign.
By the 9:00 hour, it was evident that Walker was going to win. CNN had to capitulate and talk about election returns. They even had to announce, after NBC, that Walker was the winner in WI, followed a few minutes later than the Repub Lt Gov was also winning her recall vote.
Wolfie and Team were very saddened.
Not a single report on Wisconsin I have seen on Florida morning tv while working out.
Oh, but they have been talking about Obamugabe’s wife strong arming Disney’s advertising clientele for the past three days.
In all seriousness, this is absolutely SOP at MSNBC. "Next, a roundtable on the upcoming Republican primaries. How will the killing of Osama Bin Laden affect their efforts to differentiate themselves? Joining me will be Katrina Vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation, California Senator Barbara Boxer, actor Alec Baldwin, and the reverend Jessie Jackson..."
Caught the segment with Governor Bob McDonnell. He did great. Just smiled and brought facts to counterbalance their dirges and lamentations.
Even Harold Ford seemed to realize that the pervailing sense of doom was inappropriate for a news organization and tried to cheer them up, if only for appearances sake.
