Pat Buchanan's headline tonight: Barack Obama can't close the deal
(actually, he said 'seal' by mistake)

Despite outspending her 2-1 across the state of PA, he can't close the deal, and this portends a bad omen for the future. Scarbo says the same thing, but with his own slimy pitch.

1. I didn't know he read DU.

2. When someone says that, they're agreeing with Pat Buchanan (and the former boss of Lori Klausutis).

1. Buchanan couldn't, either.
I wouldn't take advice from him if I were a Presidential candidate.

9. I don't know if I'd sell him that short
He did manage to pull a big chunk of Al Gore's votes in Florida, so he's got something going for him.

4. I await the irony after Hillary's PA loss when Buchannan has to start talking about
everything hinging on Puerto Rico

:rofl:

5. I heard that if Clinton gets the nomination she wants Pat for VP
Thinks having him on the ticket will help offset her right wing leanings......

But Just wait a few hours Pat,
and then we'll see...

8. lol. I did a thread with the exact same headline as you about Pat
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 05:30 PM by ErinBerin84
How is that Pat's headline of the day? That has been what he's been using the past month...why not save the "He can't Seal the deal!" headline until Wednesday (when he will use it even if Clinton beats Obama by a point).

Joe's was "Obama regains the lead in the Gallop tracking poll, but ONLY AFTER LOSING IT OVER THE WEEKEND!" I knew there was no way that he would not slip that in after this morning.

David Gregory does not let Rachel and Eugene talk enough on this show. Excuse me if I don't exactly trust Pat and Joe's analysis regarding a Democratic primary strategy.

22. haha
I think's it so funny though that we both posted a thread on the same topic for the David Gregory show....Pat Buchanan's fucking headline.

Actually,it's always pretty easy to predict what the chosen headline will be from each panelist.

Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 05:39 PM by Mme. Defarge
the deal was closed weeks ago, and his opponent won't accept it.

11. Is Buchanan even alive?
I didn't know he was still around, seriously. How old is this guy?

12. Update: Pat hints at violence at the convention if Obama doesn't get nod
and it's perceived by his supporters that it's stolen from him.

Yep, he definitely reads DU.

14. His sheets are probably still at the dry cleaners
Do you know how long a robe and hood of that girth takes to get clean?

16. Oh for Christ sake...
Pat's prediction is (written on screen)"Coal Miner's Daughter wins PA"

At least he got a big laugh.

17. He looks like he's in constant pain
They only show him from the chest up, so I think he's actually sitting on the john when he's on TV.

18. He is always wincing and grimacing
as if they are shining a big interrogation flashlight on him. Whenever the other panelists are introduced, the panelists will smile or at least acknowledge the camera...Pat just grimaces. It's kind of funny. Maybe they up the lighting just to mess with him.

19. Odd.
Wasn't Hillary the front-runner forever?

Seems like she couldn't close the deal, and Obama has overtaken her.
