2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHarold Ford is such a suck up to Joe S. On Morning Joe singing the praises of the Romney momentum.
First let me say that I am in a much better place mentally after having read a number of articles over the weekend and interviews that I'm now convinced that the right wing momentum thingy is just political chatter by the MSM to keep us interested and watching their BS news chatter. I believe the Obama campaign when they say with confidence that they have all the internal polling data that is on their side and that we will see in 8 days who was bluffing.
That said, the Democratic party has always been and always will be peppered with people who are full of sh!t. Harold Ford Jr. is Exhibit A. I realize he was one of those blue dog dems and I'm glad he's gone. But he's still out their doing harm to the party by sucking up to Joe S. You can count on Harold to say something that sides with the opposition just as sure as the sun rises in the east. This morning he went on and on with Joe about Romney's momentum in Ohio and Floriday while ignoring other polls and newspaper endorsements. That is not to say that I would want to hear only from people who agree with me or who have news I wish to hear, but Harold Ford never has anything good to say about this President while always being able to find something positive to say about the Romney campaign and he's doing it because he wants a JOB which just makes him a media whore. I think he is trying to play this centrist card because he wants a permanent gig in the likes of Morning Joe or George Stephanopolous. Mike Barnacle is a old shameless 'former' journalist, who needs to be Joe S. mini-me in order to pay the bills, so I get that he has to say things that pleases Joe on a continuous basis.
