I wonder how long Joe Scarborough will remain in denial.

His method seems to be as follows:

1) Trash Nate Silver

2) Rely on old and or cherry picked polls

3) Keep talking about Romney's "momentum."

I just wonder how long before it gets embarrassing or if he's so far gone that he can't stop. I doubt that he'll make it through the week without admitting the possibility of defeat. My guess is that he'll go into a sinking spell by Thursday...

Look at feeperland, or listen in to right wing radio. The joy is so great that you'd think the votes were already counted.

heh, heh, it was just Joe and Mika chatting with him in a hallway, standing. Like they caught him coming out of the men's room and stuck a microphone in his face.

Some "interview."

I can't even watch anymore. In fact I got on MSNBC web site and messaged them that he looks more and more like Bill O'Reilly light every day. If they want to have a mixed Rep & Dem show on in the mornings, they need different hosts.

At which point Scarborough will start trashing Romney as a failed candidate and telling us he told us that Romney would lose all along.

11. Yep. He'll be all "I TOLD the republicans not to pick Romney but they didn't listen to me."

Just like he always claims he was "tirelessly" against the Iraq War...
