The attack dogs on Whining Joe have David Axlerod on the fence and

[mfcorey1]

he is sputtering a little. I wish Tweety was sitting there. Two faced Mika is right there with them. It seems orgasmic for Chuckie Todd.

1. They have the audience wearing Chuck Todd buttons

I wonder what planet I am on some days.

Edit to add:

4 republicans there hammering Axlerod, Meeka making stupid faces, and an audience of democrats wearing Chuck Todd buttons...

10. Trying to boost Todd

He made such an ass of himself with his "analysis" last week that Dems wish they had the diversity of the GOP bench. They're trying to salvage him with fake groupies maybe?

2. tiredness....this convention town has been rocking morning, noon, and night

The whole downtown was still rocking when I left at 2am.

3. How is it decided who's convention goes first? I never paid attention to that.

Do they trade off? This was the great year to be going second. Even if we would have had a more upbeat positive plan in the works, it sure helped to see that hate/liefest (Liepalooza?) last week go first.

So far it seems, if this doesn't do the trick, nothing would. Democrats have to go out and take advantage of what should be a big bounce.

4. It is who has won the Presidency last.

Since 1956, when Ike was in office, the party in control of the White House has traditionally gone second.

5. Having The Last World Is Always Best

That's why the prosecution and plaintiff get a sur rebuttal in a jury trial, because they have the burden of proof.

[AngryAmish]

8. To be pedantic, it is the primacy effect in trials that helps prosecution and plaintiff

There have been a lot of studies about this subject. People make up their minds about a case in less then ten or so minutes. That means the prosecution/plaintiff makes their case and the jury decides during opening statements. Once the mind is made up the juror just picks and chooses the evidence to believe. If there is an eyewitness that directly contradicts the juror's preconceived notion, then the juror decides that they are biased or lying.

Of course there are Perry Mason moments but those are exceedingly rare, maybe one out of thirty trials.

7. I'm surprise the Republicans didn't insist on scheduling theirs second anyway. n/t

[Avalux]

6. On the fence about what? n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

9. What?

Were we watching the same program?

Axelrod was on point and in fact, he was SO on point that the only way the clown crew seated there could block the messenger and not let the message go out, was to start acting silly and talk over him in a feigned light-hearted manner, which Schmo proceeded to do. And when Schmuck and Monkey boy were done their gigglefest, Axelrod CONTINUED to finish what he was saying.

THAT to me was a sign that this whole week has taken its toll on the shills.
