   Piers Morgan should hang them up. It seems like all of the old Larry King audience has gone to Rachel Maddow.

   OReilly at 11, with Juan Williams or all people did just as good as Rachel in her regular slot. I guess MSNBC is just happy with status quo! As long as they can say they are #2, ALL IS GOOD! Although in fairness to MSNBC, there wasnt much else on to cut into the Oreilly rerun.

   Looks like most of CNN should hang it up. I know numbers are down due to Olympics but CNN has dropped considerably more than Fox or MSNBC. I guess people will leave the “brand” when you fill up primetime with the most smug, condescending, hubristic anchors ever to be put on cable news.

   I watched the lib. media over the weekend. They did a good job of pushing the jobs number. They pushed the 172k and downplayed the 8.3% as more people looking for work in an improving economy.

   I saw Axelrods brother doing the news on CBS. I knew something was up because he was as giddy as a schoolgirl Sunday night.

   The numbers from Rasmussen confirm that the President got a bounce from the jobs number. The number was not great but the lib. media did their propaganda job well. A nice poodle to own.

   We have to keep fighting because if President Obama is re-elected there is no going back. We will drown in our own debt and liberalism will destroy the moral fabric of the Nation forever. If the left gets what they really want, that is a clear majority of judges on the Supreme Court they won’t have to win another election for decades. They can legislate from the bench. That is the only way liberalism can win in the long run.

    The fake person that calls himself Jim Bob. I can’t figure out who you are trying to insult. Soutern white people or feminine liberal men?

    Who ever you are, you are not funny or clever. If you are going to post parady material it has to be ammusing. Your post was a dismal failure because it was not only humorless it had no informative value.

    The Morris analysis

    The Real Poll Numbers

    By Dick Morris on August 6, 2012

    The media is trying to create a sense of momentum and of inevitability about the Obama candidacy. One benighted Newsweek reporter even speculated about a possible Democratic landslide.

    On Friday, I saw the real numbers. These state-by-state polls, taken by an organization I trust (after forty years of polling) show the real story. The tally is based on more than 600 likely voter interviews in each swing state within the past eight days.

    The trend line is distinctly pro-Romney. Of the thirteen states studied, he improved or Obama slipped in nine states while the reverse happened in only four. To read the media, one would think that Romney had a terrible month. In fact, the exact reverse is true.

    Romney is currently leading in every state McCain carried plus: Indiana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, and Colorado. If he carries these states, he’ll have 228 electoral votes of the 270 he needs to win.

    To win the election, Romney would then have to carry Florida where he trails by two points, and either Virginia (behind by two) or Ohio where he’s down by only one.

    If he carries all three of these states and also wins all the others where Obama is now at 50% or less – Iowa, New Mexico, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey — he will get 351 electoral votes, a landslide about equal to Obama’s 363 vote tally in 2008.

    The strong probability is that Romney does, in fact, carry Florida, Ohio, and Virginia and a share of the other states where Obama is below 50% of the vote.

    So don’t believe the garbage being put out by the media. The attempt to portray Romney as not catching on and as dropping in the polls is ludicrous. It is, at best, the product of incompetent polling and, at worst, the result of deliberate media bias. But Romney is winning and expanding his lead each week. That’s the real story

    I love it. When Obama is ahead, it’s because the media is lying and the polls are skewed. When Romney is leading it’s because, well, he’s AWESOME!!!!

    Funny, because that’s EXACTLY what Dick Morris said in May…..based on polls….he even has a video of him saying it!

    http://www.dickmorris.com/obamas-poll-numbers-get-worse-and-worse-dick-morris-tv-lunch-alert/

    So he’s attacking a Newsweek reporter for doing the same exact thing he did only 3 months ago?

    I here what you are saying but Morris can be overly optimistic. I will tell you don’t believe the swing State numbers they are scewed by biased polls. The lib. media pushes the narative that Obama is doing well when he isn’t. He is up by a small margin. It is up to Romney to sieze the reins. Tough because he is a little flat and lib. media makes sure the only coverage he gets is negative.

    Romney has never been ahead. You will know when he is ahead if that happens. The liberal media will go into full attack mode. They will protect their Messiah at all costs to their reputation.
