WHY is KO giving HRC a free primetime ad? and will he have OBAMA on right after her TONIGHT?

[peacebird]

Anyone have numbers to call MSNBC regarding this? Is it somehow okay to give one candidate a free ride in prime time THE NIGHT BEFORE A PRIMARY?!?

[MadBadger]

1. Shush, he is asking her incredibly tough questions.

[peacebird]

3. and letting her ramble on forever. Anyone have MSNBC contact numbers?

[SharonRB]

2. Obama was invited both on Countdown and Larry King

He declined, saying he couldn't work it out with his schedule. That's according to Ed Schultz today. He will, however, be on The Daily Show tonight.

6. plus

Obama has been on with Keith at least twice with no "equal time" from Hillary.

22. Jane Fonda basher!!!

:loveya:

20. That's good to know..thank

you, SharonRB!

4. Obama was invited but had scheduling problems.

(according to Ed Schultz on his radio show today). He's going to be on Daily Show tonight anyway.

If I were advising, I'd say get some local news coverage and forget cable.

5. Go Hillary, she's doing great. nt

[Thepricebreaker]

8. WIth these softball questions, someone with an IQ of 10 would do great..

[kwenu]

7. He's trying to make up with her before she gets drummed out of the race in the coming weeks.

9. she sure can talk & talk & talk....

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

28. she didnt stop to breath, was very boring, monotone scratchy voice

she just showed how unappealing she really is.

her answers were not conversational at all, but very wooden and read straight from
a teleprompter.

I only wish he had put Obama on afterwards, to draw the huge contrast.

[LisaM]

10. Larry King and KO invited both Hillary and Obama on tonight

Hillary accepted, Obama declined (scheduling problems, they said).

[LSK]

11. Obama is on the Daily Show later

Relax.

[mod mom]

18. Who has bigger viewership?

[LSK]

24. toss up

I'd say Daily Show.

[mod mom]

25. and JS gets the youngins who are a big unknown as to whether they will turn out!

[mod mom]

29. "in 2005, "The Daily Show" has been drawing, on average, an estimated 1.3 million viewers each night

12. she's laughing at the richard mellon scaife question....he trashed the clintons

[mod mom]

15. She called scaife a "gentlemen". Says he is redeemed. Yes she brings people together-repugs

and DLC types

[Diamond Dog]

13. What a lying sack of shit she is.

A 'death-bed conversion'? More like a conversion of convenience. Utterly disgraceful.

[cottonseed]

14. Occured to me that she believes the neocon ideology.

With her Iran statement and looking back fondly on the nuclear deterence of the Cold War years, I think that she honestly believes that her, McCain, Wolfowitz, Kristol, and the PNAC agenda has it right. I think she just believes Bush didn't execute. This for me is my split with Hillary. This foreign policy is a disaster not due to a botched execution but due to it being flawed both ideologically and morally at the start.

[Saturday]

16. Obama refused KO's invitation. Call his perfect campaign. nt

[Windy]

26. He's on the daily show...and compared to Hillary's, his campaign is perfect! nt

[sniffa]

17. Ratings are ratings.

And besides, he's giving her tough questions. Her answers are so predictable, I've 4 times imitated her a few seconds before each answer - and that includes her two laughs (cackles?).

[Cha]

21. One of your sickest

impersonations? :)

[rndmprsn]

19. he actually asked fairly tough questions...

she squirmed at times and cackled, hillary that is

[ronnykmarshall]

23. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!`

27. Keith is doing fine

He's asking good questions and he's allowing the candidate enough time to really give complete answers. Nothing wrong with that IMO. Of course... I don't like her answers, but that's another story.

Obama was invited, but had scheduling difficulties.
