WTF!!! is Tucker Carson talking about Obama fading

[bigdarryl]

what a dick head. Obama isn't fading Rasmussen has him two points behind Hillary and is leading her 2to 1 among independents

[rusty charly]

1. was it an "irish heritage" joke?

y'never know...

[jcrew2001]

28. O'Bama's an Irish American on his mom's side

according to a news report I watched on CBS Evening News. I actually think that would be a very good selling point, he needs to share a pint of Guiness with the regular folk.

[David Dunham]

2. Overall Obama is fading. If Gore stays out, Edwards will gain

[nevergiveup]

16. You and Tucker

are always saying "Obama is fading". Obama as a newcomer is in a great position this early in the campaign.

[calteacherguy]

26. I don't believe Edwards will gain; I think Edwards is fading. nt

[valerief]

3. Sure he didn't mean Osama? You know how these TV wingers get them

mixed up.

[rinsd]

4. Nobody in the top 3 is "fading". Obama is doing just fine

"is leading her 2to 1 among independents"

Except Indies don't always get to vote in Dem primaries. Her lead among only Democrtas is higher.

[bigdarryl]

5. theres a lot of states that do allow indies to vote in the democrat primary

[aquart]

6. Tucker is not reality based.

[wordpix]

30. The ass didn't even question why Bush refused to get behind the 9-11 commission when

the idea first came up.

LIHOP, maybe?

[elizm]

7. I just heard that too and thought my head would explode...

So the campaign with the media starts...."Say it's so and it is"...Obama is not fading. He still does better than Hillary in most of the general election match-ups....I can't see how that is fading.

[FrenchieCat]

8. That's how "they" do it! Watch and learn........

This was done to Wes Clark in 2003, and it appears that Obama will be the fading candidate this time round.

The media has a lot of influence. They will be working on Obama from now till the first primary vote. In the end, the media will be promoting the Sunny Southern White Guy running on the Dem side. They don't want no stinking minority (race or gender) who might not do their bidding........

Remember my words.

[MethuenProgressive]

9. "the Sunny Southern White Guy"

The MSM would love to have Johnny 'Pretty Boy' Edwards as the Democratic candidate.

[FrenchieCat]

11. And so, they will......

and voters will fall for it--just as planned!

Months and months of watching and learning, and by the time it is finished, you will barely believe what happened.

Nothing happens by accident.

[Arugula Latte]

12. I think they'd rather have Hillary --

She'll rally the wingnut types to vote Republican and also they are building her up in order to rip her to shreds.

[FrenchieCat]

14. I don't. She's proven to be a fighter.....and has much political chits

to turn in. Don't underestimate the Clintons. They've been there, done that. They know exactly what's what.

[illinoisprogressive]

20. They have been pushing her down our throats for months.

[edwardsfeingold08]

17. pretty boy?

Wow, you're really elevating the political discourse on DU.

[MethuenProgressive]

19. Welcome to DU edwardsfeingold!

Projecting the way Edwards will be seen/treated by the MSM has little - no, nay- nothing to do with the current state (80 posts? and you're commenting on the state of discourse here? Interesting.) of discourse here on DU. Stick around, read more you post, and you'll become a productive member.

[edwardsfeingold08]

34. Sorry

I thought you were calling Edwards "pretty boy." I misread your post. I was wrong. This is why I've mostly lurked here for the past several years.

[karynnj]

33. That's what they wanted in 2004. He was promoted by

the media even in to the very beginning of March - though Kerry had won 16 primaries, Clark 1, and Edwards 1. It became near mathematicly impossible on March 3.

The point being that though having the media with you is very very importan. (Gore or Kerry would had landslides if the media had liked them.) It is not enough.

[jcrew2001]

36. I think Southerners don't need to media to dislike Northeast liberals

I think there was already a strong sentiment against Kerry among swing voters.

[jcrew2001]

35. Maybe because Edwards is the most appealing to White Southern Male swing voters

and the liberal media bias wants the Democrats to win in 2008?

[jcrew2001]

29. Next thing you know, the MSM will convince Obama to skip Iowa

and concentrate on NH.

[LizW]

32. ...

:spray:

You bad, jcrew.

[tanyev]

10. Fading is when you can't even last one week on a TV reality dance show.

[Ethelk2044]

13. They just said they

do not agree with the Gallup Poll. It does not really state how Obama is doing because Gore is in the poll. Gore needs to be removed from the Poll to truely see how well Obama is doing. Tucker and Lynn Sweet both agreed on this issue.

[snowbear]

15. It's TUCKER CARLSON... WTF does he know? Besides, like all righties he wants Hillary to win.

Can you blame them?!?!?

What a gift to Republicans if HRC is the best we can come up with.

[illinoisprogressive]

18. MSNBC cheerleads for Hillary - so they over dramatize neg. about Obama

[AlCzervik]

21. really? Yes i always get my democratic news from a republican, yes thats how i choose to roll.

[d_b]

22. Tucker is a fucking tool.

Come on now.

[MasonJar]

23. Why does anyone at DU give any credence to anything that the

Bush enabler named Tucker Carlson says? He is a loser and a phony.

[Patsy Stone]

24. How does one "fade"

when there's still a year and a half left before the election?

[AlCzervik]

25. i for one will be tuning in to Bill O"Reilly to find out and then over to Glenn Beck

because that where i like to get my democratic strateegery from.
:+ :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

31. ...

"that's how I choose to roll."

:rofl:

[truebrit71]

37. LOL!! More "The Sky is Falling" crap....

:rofl:

[Catchawave]

27. Not to worry, Tucker's "ended" Edwards campaign

because of Huckabee's 'beauty shop' joke. At least you only have to deal with 'fading' :D

[zulchzulu]

38. I believe Tucker Carlson like I believe the guy yelling on the street with a box for change

Carlson is absolutely clueless on every level. Why he has a venue for opinion is perplexing. I thought he was headed into the Game Show racket...where he belongs.
