   Rachel hammers Hannity in the demo.

   Eat that, Sean!

   Yep to XYZ .. the Chris Matthews Hardball was a repeat of the 5/7pm showing.
   Rachel even said at the end of her show that we were not going to prison.
   Rachel’s 25-54 numbers are great!

   Early Start/Starting Point can’t get out of the 200′s. They are barely beating the CNBC programs.

   hmmm @Letmethink, didn’t they manage to crack that with the numbers above? i agree that they are still struggling, and changes have been in the making, it seems like the panel doesn’t show up until the 8′o clock hour recently.

   Hello Hello, no they are still in the 200′s. They rarely even score 300 which is still terrible. The best change they could make is to get rid of Solidad Obrien. She poisons the entire program—MHOO.

   So Madcow scores a occasional victory over Hannity in the Demo but it’s usually when they air a repackage repeat or a special normally Hannity overwhelmingly crushes Madcow in overall ratings and 95% of the time in the demo as does FOX crush MSNBC AND CNN on a yearly bases.

    There’s a play by Edmond Rostand called “Cyrano de Bergerac” about a swordsman in the French military circa 1650. He’s adept at many things, but is hampered by being born with a large nose. OK, in adulthood, occasional enemies of his comment on his nose, and if all they do is spout some infantile verbiage as “your nose, sir, seems rather large”, he, Cyrano, berates said commenter on his lack of imagination and poor vocabulary. Fast-forward to the 21st Century, and now such people show up on the internet and call Rachel Maddow, PhD “madcow” because that’s all they’ve got. Sad.

    @mlong5000, why the name calling? Rachel is insightful and incredibly intelligent. If you don’t agree with her views, then debate them or challenge them. But your resulting to child like name calling makes anything you say beyond that irrelevant and unworthy.

    I LOVE RACHEL, BUT LAWERENCE O’DONNELL IS THE BEST’. Martin bashir should be on the primetime line-up, he’s also quite effective.

    Edith, step away from the puch bowl, slowly back away because I think it is spiked!

    Hey Laurence, I can relate to Cyrano. I’m short, bald, and I could probably lose a few pounds.

    I never call Rachel names. When I hear her talk about the unborn the adjectives that come to mind are, Heartless, cold, soulless, cruel and ghoulish.

    Otherwise she seems to be a lovely woman, attractive in her own way.

    Romney inching closer!!! The latest lib. media polls have Romney down to 2 to 4 points.

    The same polls last week had him down 6 to 8 points.

    The polls are using 2008 models for voting with the surveys being weighted towards a heavy Democrat turn out.

    Polls taken over the weekend tend to favor Dems!

    I don’t hate Rachel Maddow even if I do refer to her as ‘Madcow’ now and then. I never watched a complete show of hers, but I guess being MSNBC’s *star* as O’Reilly is to FNC, she probably entertains the people who identify with her. PhD’s mean nothing to be. It’s all about professional college students who would love to be called “doctor,” when they don’t have a medical license. Now, mu chiropractor is a “Doctor,” because he heals me and makes me feel better. You can take all of those unemployed PhD’s out there, stand them in line with high school graduates who can afford decent clothes and professional haircut, and you wouldn’t know one for the other.

    After stating that I do NOT have any hatred or bitterness toward Rachel personally, I do detest her fans here who place her on top of the mountain peak and mock everyone else, particularly from Fox, as the Queen of The Airwaves.

    I do agree with mlong5000 above. I remember seeing Stossel at 10pm Friday, but I honestly don’t know if Hannity did a special show, had a substitute host or did one of his regular weeknight programs. But, likely it was the first two because Sean doesn’t usually do his regular show on Fridays. His sometimes-audience shows are not live and are taped in advance.

    So, for the BS-spinmeisters who predict that MSNBC is taking over Fox News’s dominance in cable news, I’m going by the folks who followed the 2008 cable news ratings. They said MSNBC’s ratings went up as we approached the Election, and dropped to normal after the Election was over.

    The lib. media does a couple of fair stories about the Obama Administration and the man in the empty suit sinks like a stone. Could you imagine if we had a truly objective media. The left would never win an election.

    Enjoy it while you can kids. The lib. media can read polls. They will be back on the attack.

    Oh…if anyone here wants to “challenge” or mock me, you won’t be getting any responses from me today. I will communicate with only the regulars for whom I have come to respect.
