Will any of the MSM dare ask “What happened to not spiking the football?”

Obama 2012: No We Couldn’t
September 6, 2012 at 6:41 pm
^ Sore loser. You act like a Republican wouldn’t have proclaimed his victories in the war on terror. You’re delusional.
September 6, 2012 at 6:42 pm
I’m waiting for “clean, articulate”….
September 6, 2012 at 6:43 pm
So I guess noone’s going to point out that Obama and the Democrats are taking credit for saving Ford.
September 6, 2012 at 6:45 pm
“You act like a Republican wouldn’t have proclaimed his victories in the war on terror.”
I’m acting like a Republican would have lived up to his promise not to.
September 6, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Yellow-Shirt Guy is the mascot of this convention.
September 6, 2012 at 6:48 pm
“Conviction, Resolve, Barack Obama: that’s what saved the auto industry.” That, and $60 billion of your tax dollars you’ll never see again.
September 6, 2012 at 6:49 pm
“If you attack innocent Americans, we will follow you to the end of the earth” … unless you’re in Iraq.
September 6, 2012 at 6:51 pm
“His response was decisive” … 17 hours (and 3 denials) later.
September 6, 2012 at 6:51 pm
Biden has a HUGE forehead. Maybe it’s just the hair plug thing. Reminds me of Exeter:

September 6, 2012 at 6:55 pm
“He always has courage to make the tough decision” … like passing a budget.
September 6, 2012 at 7:15 pm
Andy Levy:
“Weird that if you take out “literally” and “folks” this is a 3 minute speech. “
September 6, 2012 at 7:19 pm
Obama 2012: “He’s an Afterthought”
September 6, 2012 at 7:31 pm
“An America were everybody plays by the same rules” … unless you work for Solyndra or belong to a public sector union.
September 6, 2012 at 7:34 pm
“I’m not here to tell you the path is quick and easy. I never have”
“If I don’t have this done in 3 years, this is gonna be a one-term presidency”
September 6, 2012 at 7:36 pm
“Challenges have built up over decades.” So … it’s Clinton’s fault?
September 6, 2012 at 7:47 pm
“You don’t go to the Olympics and insult our greatest ally”.
That’s right. You give the queen an iPod of your speeches, return the Churchill bust, give a bunch of old out-of-region DVDs to the prime minister and interrupt the queen during a toast. You know, like foreign policy pros do!
September 6, 2012 at 7:50 pm
“I will never turn Medicare into a voucher” I’ll let it go bankrupt!
September 6, 2012 at 7:52 pm
“We’re not entitled to sucess.” We’re entitled to other people’s success.
September 6, 2012 at 7:54 pm
“We don’t want handouts for those who refuse to help themselves” Your welfare directive says oherwise.
September 6, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Obama 2012: Because Mitt Romney wants to murder Little Phoenix Girls
September 6, 2012 at 7:57 pm
“If you give up on the change we fought for…” Clinton did last night.
September 6, 2012 at 8:01 pm
“I think about the people that built the factory in Minnesota” They didn’t build that. Someone else built that for them.
September 6, 2012 at 8:04 pm
GO BALLOONS!!!
September 6, 2012 at 8:07 pm
Gonna be hard for MSNBC to be as orgasmic as they have been the last 2 nights. But I’m sure they’ll give it the ol college try.
September 6, 2012 at 8:10 pm
@LukeRussert
Also significant: Very lite mention of healthcare reform and nothing on stimulus. 2 HUGE Obama legislative accomplishments avoided
September 6, 2012 at 8:11 pm
PS: No direct “we’re on the right track” when it comes to unemployment other than the standard boilerplate “4.5M jobs” talking point.
Guess this means that tomorrow’s jobs report is gonna S-U-C-K.
September 6, 2012 at 8:14 pm
NY Cardinal Dolan gets to give benediction for both conventions… literally.
September 6, 2012 at 8:15 pm
No one boos the Cardinal.
September 6, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Villaraigosa gavelled them down.
September 6, 2012 at 8:19 pm
SPEECH: A well delivered puff of smoke.
September 6, 2012 at 8:28 pm
@LarrySabato
I’d like to see a debate between, frankly, Gingrich, and literally, Biden.
September 6, 2012 at 8:36 pm
“Amy Dickinson@AskingAmy:
“Remember when Joe Biden was up there? All awesome and such? Those were the days… ”
I’m pretty sure Amy’s been a long-time Dem.
September 6, 2012 at 8:49 pm
Dems would have been smart to close the convention right after Clinton’s speech.
September 6, 2012 at 9:25 pm
When do we get to see all the concern in the press about how far to the left the Democratic Party has moved? The lack of comment is all the proof of ‘bias’ that a rational person should need.
September 6, 2012 at 9:34 pm
If you ever do see any concern expressed it’ll be accompanied by the requisite “both parties have… ” provision.
September 6, 2012 at 9:37 pm
The only thing comparable would have been if Glen Beck spoke to the RNC, and talked about Hitler or something. Although, he’d have to say it a few times to catch up with the Dems this week.
September 6, 2012 at 9:40 pm
^ And Glen Beck idn’t even a Repub.
September 6, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Yeah, but he’d “fire up the crowd”, wouldn’t he? Of course, that’s great when it’s a Dem crowd, but worrisome when it’s a bunch of scary, gun-toting righties. There is no Democratic equivalent to Pat Buchanan, where the press is concerned.
September 6, 2012 at 9:52 pm
What was up with Jennifer Granholm? She looked like Elaine in the Seinfeld “dancing” episode.
September 6, 2012 at 9:55 pm
^ Absolutely horrible as a governor, but she really is a sweetheart personally and loves to ham it up.
September 6, 2012 at 9:56 pm
What little I could tolerate looked as though she was directing traffic in front of our middle school.
September 6, 2012 at 10:04 pm
In the track and field stands of our high school she looked like there was a nose was goosing her fanny… and that would be because my dog was busy sniffing the governor’s butt.
September 6, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Dems would have been smart to close the convention right after Clinton’s speech.
My tweet 5 minutes into the speech:
Remi Bernard@RemiBernard
New rule: Let Clinton speak for 48 minutes, then everybody pack up and go home. #DNC2012
Granholm
I thought sure she was headed for a Dean Scream finish.
September 6, 2012 at 10:12 pm
It should be filed in the bias bin that major network news coverage of the GOD-JERUSALEM dust-up at the convention was virtually non-existen …by the same folks making such a big deal over Clint Eastwood. So much stacked against Republican.
September 6, 2012 at 10:18 pm
^ Local news of those network affiliates covered it extensively.
September 6, 2012 at 10:21 pm
I’ve seen it plenty on Fox (obviously), but even Shep hit it pretty hard.
September 6, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Eastwood, “I love you WOMEN!”, Mitt not mentioning the troops, “God and Jerusalem”, Clinton…we’ve had our fun, but it will all be forgotten by the end of the first debate.
September 6, 2012 at 10:45 pm
I watched ABC World News last night and tonight. Not a single mention of the God-Jerusalem incident. Tonight Diane Sawyer was still gushing over Michelle Obama though. Tapper talked about President’s upcoming speech, then had a report on the Woodward book as ABC has exclusive interview with Bob Wooward on Monday.

Obama 2012: Because It Can’t Get Any Worse
September 7, 2012 at 6:19 am
But the rate is down to 8.1%; spin up the VICTROLA:
Happy Days are here again,
Hope and change are clear again
Celebrate with your BILLY BEER again
Happy Days are here again!

Everyone seems to agree that the jobs numbers report out today is not good, except for the giddy folks at MJ. Only Willie Geist expressed any reservations about the report.

HUFFPO headline : Unemployement rate falls
True, but with all the truth of, HINDENBERG MAKES IT TO USA SAFELY.
September 7, 2012 at 10:35 am
Why has the irrelevant James Lipton become a semi-regular guest on NOW? He is very liberal and never has anything good to say about Repubs/conservatives. Who cares what he thinks about politics? He should stick to interviewing acting legends such as Ben Affleck on The Actors Studio.
September 7, 2012 at 10:37 am
‘Acting legends such as Ben Affleck”. I just felt like repeating that.
September 7, 2012 at 10:44 am
He sells dry soup.
September 7, 2012 at 11:30 am
Besides selling soup, Lipton was once a pimp. No, not figuratively. Literally. huffingtonpost.com/2007/10/22/jam…

What the hell happened to Granholm? She used to be a hottie, headed for big things.
September 7, 2012 at 12:09 pm
^She had the misfortune of actually telling the truth about her birth certificate #justtryingtorileupjoe.
She, like so many other former Democratic wunderkinds, stuck around long enough to compile a record. She can’t exactly run on “Look what I did for Michigan!”
September 7, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Stunk up Michigan, got replaced by a Republican, and went to work at CURRENT, the black hole of cable.
September 7, 2012 at 12:38 pm
^^Granholm did for the Dems what Clint Eastwood was supposed to do for the Repubs – energize the base. After Clinton her speech was the most watchable of the convention. I can certainly understand why you right wingers were so upset with her takedown of Romney.
September 7, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Not upset by her at all. Just amused at her antics.
September 7, 2012 at 6:32 pm
I thought Granny Granholm was having a seizure up there.
