Oh, you mean Rachel Maddow, the smug little twit that bragged about the Republican party being in the wilderness and laughing at the Tea Party movement in 2009-2010? Sorry, but she's a joke.
And they actually need two Republicans if McCain comes back from his sickbed. Then again, McCain could put country first again like he often does. I don't think abortion is his red button issue. |

The McCain campaign wasn't one of the better ones, was it? He had horrible staff. And, no, I don't agree with him very much. He is something of a Nationalist. But at least he has principles which is more than I can say for most of congress. Keep an eye on Susan Collins (stop looking at her butt, Batlord). She's the one Republican that might stand up to the far right. Also, it is an election year so the Republicans have to be careful if they want to keep the Senate. Yes, the Dems are defending 25 of the 33 seats up for grabs but stranger things have happened. |

Yes, Rachel Maddow has some annoying characteristics but I like the way she digs back into the past to show the precedents, parallels and background to today's political stories. If there's an alternative cable news prog with the same approach, I'll happily change allegiance from RM. I promise that she means nothing to me, rubber soul; you know it's only you I care about

No, I was watching Olbermann in the late Aughts and was even a fan of his. I even liked Rachel Maddow even as she was predicting the end of the Republican Party and was joining in on the tea bagging insults. She is insightful, true, but I wish she would have taken the Tea Party movement a little more seriously. I can only hope Rush Limbaugh is doing the same with the Progressive movement and it ends up blowing up in his face. |

Rachel Maddow can be really, really good. She can also be annoying. Same goes for most of the talking heads on MSNBC.
Her smugness is her Achilles heal. Wish she'd learn to tone it down.

Smugness is a talking head prerequisite tbh.

The Democrats have to keep this pick from going through until after the midterms. Start tying up all the time with new proposals and unrelated filibusters. Create new security measures that have to be learned. Do fire drills. Fake seizures. Start fights. Bomb threats. Sabotage the AC. Start rumours and absurd investigations. Use actual violence. They should actually do that until Obama’s rightful pick is in there.
Trump has a list of 25 potential justices. Extort them. Threaten their families unless they drop out. Use violence. Start a civil war.
