What was most amazing is that most of these people (this guy's good, etc.) admitted that they couldn't defend their views.

I heard that different. I think the guy making the comment saw the point the interviewer was making, kind of in a "you got me" kind of way. As in, we do know who Obama is and don't have any idea who Palin is.

The screaming blonde lady watches too much Hannity and listens to too much RW radio. She simply thinks the person yelling the loudest wins. She probably left feeling she won handily. She might even feel that way if she views this again.

You are so right. Those pro-lifers are such suckers for believing the pro-life positions taken by the RW politicians. The Republicans have no intention of doing anything about at all about abortion. Their pro life creds are just for show.

Thanks for noticing.

Che Pasa, it was a win. The point of the interview was to have Gibbs sit there and have to defend Obama's "relationship" with Ayers. Instead, Hannity ended up defending himself, and loudly at that. The intended take down of Obama didn't occur.

Shooter wrote More interesting though, is why after doling out millions for education, no improvement occurred.

Yeah, it's too bad the charity provided by $50 million dollars of private money (by a conservative Republican) wasn't a complete success. I guess the private sector isn't the solution to everything. Is that what you are saying?

That radical Ayers had the nerve to suuggest that smaller class sizes might help students perform better. It seems that some idiotic Dems and Repubs agreed with that commie, anti-american concept.

Try harder.

Didn't the makers of prozac they just market the same exact drug (prozac, now also called sarafem) as the official PMDD treatment? I seem to recall it as a method of fighting off generic prozac prescriptions. (the following link is only about the name change, not the reason for the switch)

In truth, I thought the pill did help with PMS because it does regulate your periods. I thought regular, lighter periods were helpful, and also helpful of wilder hormonal swings.

I don't know if this is false advertising.

There are places where only FOX is available. So Obama & his reps do themselves a favor by showing up and reinforcing the calm, unflappable image, even if it doesn't effect the RW base.

My husband spent a couple of months (over the course of a year, off and on) in the hospital and the only news available on their select channels was FOX. We had to pay $8 a day to get a few more channels including CNN. MSNBC wasn't an option.

FOX is freqently shown in gyms and other businesses. You can't just ignore it.

That Hannity wasn't able to rant on and on about Ayers and instead was busy defending himself was a clear win.

p.s. as an aside, Andrew Sullivan has a quote up from some canvassers that say that even some outright racists are undecided now. It seems that racism might seem to be a luxury if their pocketbook is hurting. Funny concept.

ondelette, you just described a nuclear physicist friend of mine.

He is brilliant, I don't know how to describe his politics other than a radical libertarian. I'm not saying Libertarians are radical, just that this guy is.

He's in the finance world now and the fiat money hater adores playing with money more than anyone you could ever know.

No one is allowed to ask her anything. Nice trick, if she manages to pull it off.

Can you say anything nice about your candidate? About what conservatism stands for. About how uplifting McCain and is message is?

This libscum is a person. I'm a grandmother, military brat, happily married, engineer, loves dogs to a fault, lives in a semi-rural area but commutes to a city. I'm not inhuman.

You need to realize how ugly a face you are showing, seriously.

My guess is the comment was about the little gold star by your name.

He saw it as elitist, those of us in the fact based world know that it means you're a paid subscriber.

All I have to do is see the difference in their rallies.

Obama's supporters are mocked because they are hopeful and sometimes get carried away in their support for him. Biden fires his groups up, but it's mostly in support of Obama with a little Bush bashing. The rallies are full of cheering. Can it be silly? Sure, but it's positive.

I see McCain and Palin's rallies as full of "boos" and attacks on character. They are full of hate, not support for McCain, but hate of Obama, government, MSM, city people, liberals, etc. It's us vs. them. It's ugly and has been getting even uglier recently.

@AI, Morris thinks his "flexibility" is proof of his impartiality.

Hah.

Off topic but Iran says it forced a US plane to land that had violated it's airspace and they claim it had five US generals on board who they have released.

This is unsettling.

Morris can read the polls, now he doesn't want to be seen as a complete idiot for suggesting that Obama would lose.

If the polls shift back to McCain, so will Morris's opinions about McCain's tactics/antics.
