Will Chris Matthews (Tweety) get to be the one honored with

[monmouth]

the announcement that YES, Senator Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States? I mean, when they are absolutely allowed to announce, will Chrissy be frothing, will it be Keith?? Will they fight over it? I'm starting to get spacey now but these nuggets do bite my ankles at times...

[HowHasItComeToThis]

1. KEITH IS THE MAN

[WinkyDink]

7. I say this EVERY week-night at 8:00 p.m.!

[orestes]

2. Dont be surprised if MSRNC lets Gregory give the call.

[Hepburn]

6. I have only one thing to say....

...Dick Gregory? :puke:

[NotThisTime]

8. I'll watch ABC if that's the case....

[democrat2thecore]

23. MSRNC? What planet are you on? -nt

[VolcanoJen]

31. All of my friends call it MSNBama!

That's why we love MSNBC so much. :-)

[democrat2thecore]

34. Amen, Jen! -nt

[Exilednight]

33. Don't be fooled. It really is MSRNC. Just follow the money. They put a few liberals on just .....

to throw people off the trail.

[democrat2thecore]

35. A "few" liberals? Follow the money means they've seen that liberals spend $$$ too! -nt

[Exilednight]

37. That's not what I am talking about. NBC is not the cash cow for the GE corporation ............

defense contracts are. Just look at which party most of the NBC big wigs donate their money to.

[democrat2thecore]

41. I don't care who OWNS them - look who they're putting on the air!

Sorry, there are no Mom & Pop television networks.

[Exilednight]

42. There are still local television networks in larger market areas, and there is still always PBS ....

trust me, I am not knock on MSNBC for putting on KO and Rachel, but that's all they've done. Matthews is a Reagan Democrat, Joe Scar was a Republican Congressman, they continually have Pat Buchanan on as a panelist, Chuck Todd is a closet Republican (one of the worst kept secrets on TV) and Gregory is more of a moderate - but the network as a whole is far from being liberal or progressive.

[ErinBerin84]

3. I hope it's not David Gregory

Then again, it would be kind of funny to see him choke back the tears.

[Kahuna]

4. He'll be blubbering like a baby. nt

[Connie_Corleone]

5. Matthews will be a hot mess on election night. LOL!!

I can see him blubbering, drool running down his chin, and all kinds of thrills shooting up his legs now. LOL

[rcrush]

9. I'm hoping its Jon Stewart.

[glowing]

10. They need to make the Morning Joe show read it.. joe and pat crying would be great.

They'd all be sipping on Mika's coffee.

[monmouth]

11. Hahaha, ah that's funny, vodka and coffee though, ya know that's yuk...Clamato and vod

would be so much better....

[knixphan]

15. seconded!

Those two need to cry it out. They need a 'Prince of Tides' moment.

[musicblind]

12. I hope it is Chris. I am a big Chris Matthews fan. I know everyone here hates him

and I don't agree with a lot of what he says. Heck, I had to stop watching him when he was bashing Hillary so much. BUT, over all, I have been a Hardball fan for a good while and even have two of his books.

While it would be great to see Keith, or even Rachel make the call... deep down I would mark out if it was Chris :)

[hlthe2b]

13. I think Chris Matthews has come a long way & really likes

Obama... I'd be ok with him making (what I certainly hope) will be the announcement Tuesday.

[musicblind]

25. I promise you. That WILL be the announcement. I am willing to stake my DU reputation on it.

You can book mark this thread... and come election night if I am wrong and the announcement isn't "Barack Obama is the next president of the United States."... well, lets just say that those words WILL be spoken. Period.

[Janice325]

14. I don't hate Chris at all.

:hi:
I didn't used to like him at all because I thought he was always interrupting his guests, and his laugh unnerved me, but lately, I'm starting to think he's actually okay. I loved the Bachmann "interview."

I'd prefer Keith or Rachel made the announcement, however, I would certainly be fine with Chris. Or Shuster...just not Joe, Mika, and especially not David Gregory. :puke:

[musicblind]

21. I'll agree with all of what you just said. As long as it isn't Joe, Mika or David Gregory!

Shuster would be an interesting choice and would say something positive about the future of that network. I would love to see the poetic justice of Shuster someday taking over Morning Joe... given how much Scarborough and Shuster hate each other.

[democrat2thecore]

18. Chris is great! Hoping he'll be the next Senator from PA in '10 -nt

[musicblind]

26. That would be SO exciting.

Only said thing would be that his show would have to end... STILL, I would be pumped for him to actually be in the Senate as a Democrat.

[Mz Pip]

16. Probably one of the big guns

like Brokow or Brian WIlliams.

Still the commentary should be amazing. I will definitely stop by FOX to see how O'Reilly and Hannity are holding up. :evilgrin:

[democrat2thecore]

17. BANK ON THIS: MSNBC/NBC --- Brian Williams makes the announcement -nt

[blm]

39. I concur.

.

[Poiuyt]

19. Isn't David Gregory going to be the MSNBC anchor on election night?

[democrat2thecore]

22. Yes, but when the "big" announcement is made - it will be a MSNBC/NBC simulcast - bank on it

[Catshrink]

20. Brokaw

[democrat2thecore]

27. No. NBC's future is with Brian Williams

Tom will be there and it will be one big gathering, but the anchor will be Brian Williams on NBC and David Gregory on MSNBC. Remember, Matthews and Keith being pulled from anchoring duties frees them to be as opinionated as they want.

[Jack Rabbit]

43. You're right

Sorry.

[Midlodemocrat]

24. They should make O'Liely do it. That would be totally awesome.

[Janice325]

30. They should make O'Liely do it. That would be totally awesome.

What would REALLY be even more awesome if Keith made the announcement in his best O'Liely impersonation. :rofl:

But then again, I just realized that wouldn't be appropriate until after the announcement had already been officially made. Then, Keith could go on and do his best O'Liely impersonation.

[Phoonzang]

28. I actually want it to be David Gregory.

I want to see him puke and start crying.

[VolcanoJen]

29. It'll be either Brokaw or Williams.

They'll let one of the "hard news" guys make the call... Brokaw, I imagine. But they'll cut over to Tweety's reaction very quickly.

I'm kinda looking forward to it... say what you will about Chris, but he does seem to sum up these kinds of moments better than anyone else.

[PCIntern]

32. Who calls it over at Faux?

[monmouth]

45. Please, please,....let it be Hannity...Oh gawd I live for it....n/t

[MadBadger]

36. They are doing NBC's coverage

[VolcanoJen]

38. Usually on Election Night they kind of merge MSNBC and NBC.

I imagine it'll be more like a simulcast, but I could be wrong.

[riverwalker]

40. Dan Rather

I want to hear the words from Dan Rather's mouth. Please.

[TheDonkey]

44. KO will call it.
