I would love it if NBC's sister channel Bravo would create a show for Matthews where he could talk about all his political man crushes. Anything just to get him off MSNBC. Night after night Matthews opens his mouth and demonstrates his ignorance. Everytime I tune in to watch Keith Olberman cover the primaries, Matthews the talking monkey has to interupt with some new, nonsensical, irrelvant thought that has inexplicably popped into his empty head. I pray for the day that Keith finally tells this boob to shut up, or better yet just smacks him one.

Axordil is right.

We need every Democrat and independent vote to win.

Tim, put aside your ego, and give it up to Hilary.

She is hardened to defend against attack, lawsuit, and investigation from Right-Wing. Hope we can see her thru

Mr Clinton's eye and experience.

She has the best chance to defeat Republicans.

I like Obama too. But Obama has NO chance against right-wing

attacking machines. Charisma can carry only so lone,

substance is what eventually drives changes.

Matthews has no credibility at all. The contrast between him and a real newsperson--Brokaw--was stark tonight. There was Brokaw telling everyone the media just needs to shut up in terms of predictions and obituaries and "analysis" based on two pretty major points:

a) the American people should actually get a say in the matter and

b) tonight showed how often and how badly the press gets it wrong

And what was Matthews pathetic response? "What will we do?" Yes, because the election of this country's leader should be determined on his need to fill his time. His second response--"There are a lot of colleges/universities that brand themselves with their polling . . . Marist". So poor Brokaw was relegated to informing Matthews that the election was slightly more important than some college's "branding", as well as reminding him that the journalists could fill their time with, um, actual journalism--exploring issues for instance. All the time he's probably wondering how his profession has sunk so low. Kudos to Brokaw who so far has been the sole voice of sanity in this whole ugly media mess.

And how incredibly condescending of Matthews to claim that the women voted for Hillary because she cried. Yes, they certainly couldn't have made a decision based on reason or inspiration. Nope--they had to have a feminine response of pity for their fellow weak woman to vote for her. I thought it would be tough for him to "top" his act the day before when he was having a discussion of "the end of Hillary" and calling it all over for her if she lost New Hampshire and then five minutes later agreeing that one couldn't count Mitt Romney out if he lost "because he has money". The man has become a self-parody.

you can notice non-critical things about a politician and still be capable of critical thought/commentary. And looks do matter, as Kennedy vs. Nixon definitely proved, and Reagan sealed in concrete. The Obamas are a good-looking, elegant couple, and it IS nice to see them on the stage, just as nice, in fact, as seeing the privileged WASC Kennedys - no one had any problem at all, then, with how much and how often the First Couple were praised for their looks, sophistication and poise. Matthews is just saying what everyone else is thinking. As long as these are the ONLY things he finds worth noting about the candidates, there is no need to mock him for filling the airwaves per the new 24x7 chat mantra.

The media and all the pundits from the left, center, and right are all itching to report on the demise of the Clintons. But the voters keep denying the media and all the pundits that victory.

The Clintons' legacy/dynasty lives on, but it wasn't the Clintons that defeated the media and all the pundits, it was democracy that defeated those goons.

No longer am I going to listen to CNN or MSNBC, and definitely not FOX news, tell me how to think or who to support. I am going to forget those jerks, and make up my own mind, just like the voters of New Hampshire did.

I have to admit and say that personally I believed the hype that Senator Clinton gave an Ed Muskiesgue moment when she got choked up while speaking to the public the night before the New Hampshire primary, and I am not convinced that she can beat Senator Obama in the long run. But assuming that Edwards, Thompson, and Hunter are now out of the running for their party's nomination, let me throw a list of phrases at you all:

President Clinton

President Obama

President McCain

President Romney

President Huckabee

President Rudy (no, he will never be called President Giuliani)

Which one sounds the best to you?

One of those 6 phrases will become a reality in 2009, so my advice is to figure out which one of those phrases you like the most, and don't let the media or the pundits influence your decision. Because otherwise we will not be a democracy at all, we will just be a flock of sheep.

MSNBC should fire Chris Matthews. He's obviously deeply disturbed by a successful woman like Hillary, and I think he's deeply jealous of Bill Clinton.

As some of you will have noticed, I've been posting shrill messages all over this site deriding Hillary, critiquing Salon's Time-Magazine-esque coverage of her campaign, and -- this I regret -- crowing about the change that the progressive youth vote was going to bring to American politics.

Well, I know when I'm licked. The entrenched DC establishment is just too hard to overcome.

However, I've also just sent an email to premiumhelp@salon.com requesting that my Salon subscription be cancelled immediately. This will be my last comment -- welcome news, I'm sure, to those few who have paid any attention to my posts -- and I will no longer be checking the site -- even the Glenn Greenwald blog, which has lately been the only thing worth maintaining a subscription for.

Salon has played a small role -- very small, but, still, a role -- in suppressing (and, perhaps, snuffing out) the encouraging, democratic (small-d), deeply American movement represented by the Obama candidacy. Over time, Salon has evolved into the very thing I came to the site to get away from.

I hope you guys will continue to break important stories about scandals like the Walter Reed disgrace, and I look forward to reading about them as they are reported in places like the Washington Post.

For others who have been unhappy with the way Salon has covered this race: the only way to make an impact is by denying Salon your readership and your financial support.
