***Official MSNBC before Debate thread***

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

Watching Tweety interview ST Jones right now.

[meow mix]

1. the Kitchen Sink segment was kinda funny

:D

[MoJoWorkin]

2. DId she say that Obama was from Somalia again?

[meow mix]

5. no i was suprised she seemed to support obama on that..

[goclark]

3. What is the Spitman saying today

He is a piece of trash.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

4. I'm mostly pulling for Obama...

But I just adore this Stephanie Tubbs Jones, even if I disagree w/ her choice, She is for Senator Clinton.

This woman has a heart of gold.

[MoJoWorkin]

7. Heart of Gold? When she kept repeating that Obama was from

Somalia this morning. He was born in the USA, for God's sake

Maybe they paid her in gold to say it.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

12. I sincerely think that just came out wrong.

[PM Martin]

11. You have to have good spokespeople to succeed.

Hillary could use some right now.
Obama has more than enough.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

13. KiKi and ST Jones seem to be all Senator Clinton has at this point.

[RamboLiberal]

21. As long as you don't say Kirk Watson

Has Tweety brought him up yet? Tweety was still preening about how that poor guy couldn't name any Obama accomplishments. But of course Tweety never shows KO mocking him and the studio employees laughing at him.

I bet TX Senator Watson can recite Obama's accomplishments backwards and forwards now.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

22. No, Tweets hasn't brought him up. They did earlier today, when ST Jones

was on, but I missed most of what was said. I felt so bad for Kirk Watson that night. I was interviewed by ABC in the 2004 election, DEAR in the HEADLIGHTS, it was awful, I shook just like Condi does, thru-out. That is freaken hard to do, get interviewed.
Never again.

[LSparkle]

6. Tweety: "This is going to be a serious debate, with serious newsmen ... "

Implying that the CNN debate wasn't (?). Oh yeah, Tiny Timmy and Brian "Dittohead" Williams are SERIOUS newsmen, all right. I wish they'd let David Shuster, David Gregory and Keith Olbermann do the questioning ...

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

10. LOL, Hey! I like Williams. You got a point about KO, thou!

[LSparkle]

14. I can't forget an interview he did when he first got "Nightly News"

He said he felt he had a "responsibility" to listen to Limpbags every day, because he was so influential to the country and reflected widespread public opinion. Just put a bad taste in my mouth about him coming right out of the gate ...

[Johnny__Motown]

39. Russert and Williams both have fairly strong reputations,

John King and some guy from spanish language TV who's name I forget don't quite measure up. (although I like Campbell Brown she does not carry the same "weight" ad Russert or Williams)


Not that Tweety should be attacking CNN, but they also did the love fest in Cal. with such questions as "was Bill Clinton the first Black President?"

Not exactly hard hitting or issue oriented.

[high density]

8. Fidelity wastes a lot of money on advertising

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Mooney]

9. All these people are horrible

All pundits and campaign surrogates should be made to find more dignified work, like mopping up after peep show patrons.

[MadBadger]

15. Shitting on Dodd too?

[Mooney]

19. No n/t

[Thrill]

16. I fully expect Hillary to act like a raging maniac tonight

[Johnny__Motown]

32. she referred to her saturday rant as "getting a little hot" this may signal a cooler head tonight

I think she needs to play Wonk and try to make some points. She couldn't get that little canned "Xerox" line to stick, I don't see how she can make any serious points with strong attacks.


The two mailers have only two issues she can attack on (that I am aware of)

The word "Boon" which is valid, she did not say that. But she said many things that praise NAFTA so this gives him the chance to simply use her actual quotes against her.

The "force you to buy health care" statement, which seems to be accurate even if it is slightly out of context.


just my 2 cents

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

17. Dodd up.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

18. Wants to build on our majorities.

me. Hey, would it not be great to have a majority proof House or Senate? WooHoo, Coat tails Obama!

[Coexist]

20. Dodd was just amazing in his interview

re: the country telling those in power it is time for change.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

23. Changed title to MSNBC in place of Hardball. Bowtie up now.

Kiki up now.

[MadBadger]

24. Kiki McLean just scolded Tucker called him way out of line

He questioned her spokesman's emotional stability. It was very funny.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

25. That was feisty!

Kiki, hit him! I think she could take him.

[loveangelc]

26. Do you think Hillary's internals have her up in TX? Because KiKi just said that

she's up in both OH and TX.

[JNelson6563]

27. What time's the debate?

Thanks in advance fellow DUers! :toast:

Julie

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

28. 8 central, I think

[high density]

29. Tucker's CYA makes me believe Clinton has MSNBC by the balls

I don't mind watching Tucker squirm, but this is silly.

[MadBadger]

30. I like that Tucker clarified, but didnt back down

And he has gone after the Clinton campaign for days now with the way they have been treating MSNBC.

[mtnsnake]

31. Hillary is going to calmly make Obama lose his cool & make him start crying at about 35 minutes in

Then she's going after Russert if he tries to butt in.

[Johnny__Motown]

33. wanna bet?

[JimGinPA]

37. Do You Have "CRAFTSMAN" Stamped on Your Forehead?

Because you're a world class tool.


:eyes:

[Johnny__Motown]

40. HEHE, you say Obama is gonna cry and I am the tool. OK, well I can agree that one of us is

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

47. That poster was not talking to you. You responded to something

not directed at you. asfarasicantell.

[mtnsnake]

49. That is correct. He responded to the wrong guy

and I think he even put me on ignore down below because he thought I replied to him, when I didn't. This place is a riot! :evilgrin:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

50. LOL, it is a riot, indeed!

Hang in there, us folks.

[Johnny__Motown]

54. I don't put people on ignore, none. Just because we disagree does not mean I would do that

You have the right to your opinion and you have the right to voice it. I don't censure based on my differences with others.

[Johnny__Motown]

52. It was still an insult to my candidate, I found it offensive so I responded

[Johnny__Motown]

57. Also, I was not talking to you and you responded, double standard???

[mtnsnake]

58. OnceUponTime was just going out of his or her way to help out.

Don't you see that?

[Johnny__Motown]

62. it still seems like a double standard, I was offended by the crying statement but I can't respond?

If someone said that Hillary was going to cry tonight plenty of people would attack anyone who posted that. Again that seems like a double standard also.

Can't you see that?

[mtnsnake]

42. Better to be a tool

than a world class asshole and crybaby like yourself. That's a bad combination, but you are a rare one, eh.

BTW, did you get that old joke off the playground at Middle School today?

[Johnny__Motown]

44. No, I was serious. anyways I don't want to fight with you, sorry I upset you. good bye

[mtnsnake]

46. I never even posted to you. My post was directed to numbnuts GinyPa or whatever the heck his name is

[Johnny__Motown]

51. I found the post insulting even though it was not directed toward me, again., sorry to upset you

[cali]

45. looks like you've already lost your cool

and Obama will not lose his. he's a shrewd guy, and he's got hill's number. he did fine last debate and he'll do better this time.

[mtnsnake]

48. Is that so?

Please inform me, wise one, how I lost my cool.

[rucky]

56. Will it be with a Double Cross Arm Kick...

or a Reverse Running Mandible Stunner?

http://www.brunching.com/cgi/wrestlingmoves.cgi

[mtnsnake]

59. She'll just do it with words, but I think she might nail Russert with a flying drop kick

before the night is over :evilgrin:

[meow mix]

34. ridiculing the Xerox Line as badly over-canned.

:rofl:

[StrongBad]

35. Anybody know if there is an internet video feed like CNN had last week?

I checked the MSNBC site but couldn't find anything at first glance.

Wish I had TV right now...

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

38. The MSNBC website is awful. I'll go look too.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

41. I found this, let me know if it works.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23357020#23357020

[StrongBad]

43. Yep, I just saw they updated the site with this.

Thanks for the link though!

:hi:

[rosetta627]

61. You don't need a tv StrongBad...

The MSNBC site says they'll stream the debate:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18970417/

"WATCH: The Democrats debate
MSNBC will telecast a debate between Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama Tuesday, Feb. 26, live from Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, 9-10:30 p.m. ET. NBC’s Brian Williams will moderate and be joined by "Meet the Press" moderator and NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert. It will be streamed live on msnbc.com."

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

36. Stoddard and Fenn up now

Stoddard from The Hill.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

53. Tweets means NAFTA.

Seems to like it.

[high density]

55. Why didn't Tweety just got to tape for this hour?

He's got nothing new to provide.

[MadBadger]

60. APparently the Ohio Democratic Chairman doesnt think they shoudl talk about Iraq

Apparently he thinks Ohioans only care about the economy and jobs, and thats it. I'm sure they are concerned about multiple things.

[VenusRising]

63. I don't think that Lima Company would appreciate that remark at all.

:patriot:

[npincus]

64. Where are Joan and Melissa Rivers?
