Clean sweep for CNN!
almost 3 million for The Five!!!!!!!
Can’t we all just get along?
Let us not forget our fellow bloggers who live on the east coast in the eye of Sandy. Let us say a pray for them and hope that they can through this storm OK.
It’s the usual thing.
Whenever there is real news. . no one watches MSNBC.
CNN benefits the most when there is an actual news event. They have the name recognition with the casual viewers.
HEY HRJ- BEAT IT DUDE.
…there was supposed to be several thousand Democrats killed; so I think they got away with one. America can’t wait for San Francisco’s turn, they’re way over due…
Interesting. CNN only gets a bump in numbers when it comes to crisis reporting and MSNBC only gets decent number during political seasons. So, CNN has little credibility to the general audience when it comes to politics and MSNBC appeals only to libs who apparently don’t care or don’t trust their own brand for anything other than politics. FOX always rises to the top, regardless what the news are.
MSNBC Ridicules Romney for Collecting Food and Supplies for Sandy Victims
This one is really hard to believe, even for the most biased so-called “news network” in the nation.
MSNBC on Tuesday totally trashed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for collecting food and supplies at a storm rally event in Ohio to be sent to victims of Hurricane Sandy

CNN Destroys MSNBC.
Erin clocks Tingles and it is not even close.
People aren’t thrilled with Tingles feeling about the storm.
Tingles attack Romney in his storm coverage.
Tingles blames global warming as viewers cool their heals at CNN.
Tingles one of worst people on the planet.
BREAKING!!!!! NEWS FLASH!!!! NEW POLLS OUT5 AND THEY ARE DEVISTATING TO ROMNEY!!!!!!
POLL: Obama dominates Romney — in Russia…
Some see GOP voting tsunami coming
Voters wait in line despite rains from Hurricane Sandy to vote on the last early voting Sunday before election day, in New Bern, N.C., on Oct. 28, 2012. Early voting ends in Craven County on November 3. ((Byron Holland, New Bern Sun Journal/AP Photo)
Democrats more than Republicans are getting their most loyal supporters to vote early, but with polls showing a close race among those who have voted so far, concerns are being raised about a GOP tsunami on the actual Election Day, next Tuesday.
According to a GOP analysis of early voting and absentee ballot requests provided to Secrets, the Democrats are turning out their most reliable, or so-called “high propensity voters” than Republicans, leaving fewer for Election Day. The GOP is pushing weaker supporters to vote early, expecting high enthusiasm to drive their regular supporters to the polls next week.
“Democrats are cannibalizing their high-propensity voters in advance of election day to get stories that they are winning,” said a GOP analyst. “But in effect they are stealing from Peter, or Election Day, to pay Paul, or early voting.”
For example, in Ohio, the Democrats have turned out 43 percent of the most loyal supporters to vote, compared to just 27 percent of the GOP. In Iowa, the difference is 43 percent to 29 percent.
“Republicans will have more reliable voters available on Election Day and are spending our efforts turning out low propensity voters in the absentee and early voting periods,” added the analysis.
Even with the difference in turnout of loyal supporters, Gallup finds that among early voters, Romney is beating Obama 52 percent to 45 percent, though some state totals show an Obama advantage. Plus in states like North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa, the GOP has seen huge requests for last-minute absentee ballots this month.
one of Hannity ‘s greatest hits, and the lies continue on daily basis :

___________________________
This is a terrible, nonsensical analogy. Election Day votes are Peter. Early Votes are Peter. The human being that said those words should be ashamed, of his profession, his existence, and the words that he forms with his face
Some people might say that a GotV campaign that’s gotten almost half of it’s loyal voters out before it’s even election day is indicative of a solid ground game; Not me, though, because I’m a paid liar, an idiot, a professional imbecile. Well thanks for putting me on the air, Wolf
Sam open your ears “They don’t do it because they are bad people” Thet do it for othe reasons.(implied) Is not “they are not bad people” Is english your first language?
@Ratboy
Some see GOP voting tsunami coming
I’ve seen this before, Romney now is putting money into MN, & Michigan and Iowa, he has money to burn and it taking a shot at those states just in case. He also started shoring up North Carolina where he actually was fading a bit,
@
Sam
You really are hitting the archives with big head Countdown. Ah, the good old days.
@ Bsotgnw,
“Sam open your ears “They don’t do it because they are bad people” Thet do it for othe reasons.(implied) Is not “they are not bad people” Is english your first language?”
Spare me the linguistics lecture, the man is liar period. luckily he has large number of viewers who have no regard for the truth whatsoever. No wonder Fox News viewers are the most misinformed of all.
@
Matthew
There is some truth to that. Republicans are getting their weakest voters to the polls early. My cousin and me are a lock to vote on election day.
I don’t know about the other part of the story. It seems Dems would be trying to get poorer folks to the polls earlier. They tend to not vote if it is held on just one day.
By the way Kudo’s to Matthew and Mark, I said last week Norht Carolina was totally gone for Obama, But Obama made a small increase there and reversed the trend, so Romney is putting cash back in their to shore it up again.
This is going to be a very interesting week.
