David Gergen is the brightest of all the lefties and he said in no uncertain terms that if the admin doesn't think this is about Obama's politics, they are in la la land.

Anybody with common sense can see this. It shouldn't surprise anybody that the yahoos over at MSNBC would cover this thing the way they did.

I haven't watched MSNBC since the last major election. They've either made a more drastic turn left recently or were just completely blown away by the results.

Even the reporters on the scene were involved - Nora something is the one that said Brown was basically a fan of waterboarding and she lamented that Coakley didn't use that in ads. It was a bit unreal and entertaining.

They out foxed Fox by a good bit.

Calling them reporters is a bit of a stretch. What they were doing was no more reporting than what Hannity and co. were doing over a fox after Obama won.

I was referring to Nora O'Donnell (I believe that's her name). She's definitely an NBC reporter - she's the one the brought up the water boarding thing.

Agree completely on Matthews, Maddow, Olbermann (hosts) and pundits like Howard Fineman, a woman from Salon etc.

I hate MSNBC but I had to flip over last night to catch their coverage, I was loving it, they were in a meltdown over there. I was starting to get worried their "reporters" were going to stroke out.

All i got was Katie Couric (sp?) on CBS calling the results disastorous. My wife who is a life long democrat by blood (family all dems) who has been independant since our marriage, usually makes fun of my screaming about bias even pointed that out. I'm sure MSNBC was crazy.

The Republicans won't be down, but I just fear the pendulum swinging back. I am a huge social conservative, but I am starting to realize that my moral views need not mix with politics. I just wonder if the Christian Right will relent on some of the issues that really aren't any business of the federal gov't anyway and focus on the fiscal responsibilty and the true place of Gov't, and allow the Republicans to grow from this and be the true party of small Government with limited spending?

+1!

Christians are lazy and want the gov't to do their job for them.

Thanks. And bear with me if I appear to be waffling. I'm not. I have always been a stonch social conservative and fiscal conservative. (I try to model myself after Reagan), but after the last disaster of the primaries started the ball rolling I really started to re evaluate who I was and what I stood for. I'm not there yet other than at the end I do know I believe in the individual, not the collective. I believe in the powers of the people, not the Federal Government. I believe in the constitution not a living document. And in doing so, I have realized that maybe some of my stances trounce on others individual liberties and I'm in "soul search" mode right now to see exactly what those are.
