Chris Matthews just rolled his eyes at Maddow

[woolldog]

when she started saying "it's not in the bag for Obama. he might just have spent a lot of money to lose by a little instead of a lot in the tranditionally red states"

Matthews just rolled his eyes at her and had a wry grin on his face

:rofl:

[Thrill]

1. Rachel is annoying.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. She's trying too hard to look impartial.

[Poiuyt]

21. I think you're absolutely right

[monmouth]

3. I go to CNN when she comes on...n/t

[Kahuna]

6. Me too. I'll turn back to MSNBC when we get some nice wins on

our side.

[progressivebydesign]

4. what is with her? She admittedly is a 'glass half full type' but it gets old.

Daymn. when Tweety rolls his eyes at her.. that's bad.

[Pirate Smile]

18. She is a glass half empty person.

[elkston]

5. Man, screw her. Nobody is voting anymore so forget about her using this motivate.

I'm tired of her BS.

[Nevernose]

10. The after-work crowd just hit out west

We've got 2 1/2 hours to go.

GOTV is over, though -- now they want people to stand at intersections and wave signs.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Nobody is voting anymore?

The polls are open for HOURS yet in California, and I am watching here live from California.

[The Wielding Truth]

7. Glass half full--- maybe she wants the western states and late

poll closing states to vote harder for Barack.

[Faygo Kid]

8. "Debbie Downer" is starting to be her rep. Cut it out, Rachel.

[psychobueller]

9. This is her true nature, and I find it grating.

[classof56]

11. Yeah, she's starting to wear kind of thin for me.

Liked her better when she was filling in for Keith. But I'm sure that's just me!

[Awsi Dooger]

13. In many respects, Rachel is stupid

Sorry to say that but it fits. If Obama is losing narrowly in the deep red states, that means he is winning comfortably in the vital swing states.

As James Carville said a half hour ago, "There is no way to separate the national number from the state number."

Absolutely correct. And if Obama is within fractions in Indiana, he is winning the national popular vote by significant margin. That will grasp the electoral college.

In Rachel's case, it's not merely runaway pessimism. She doesn't understand basic relationships.

[psychobueller]

14. He's trying to school her...

[BOSSHOG]

15. She's just being a Maverick. You betcha!!

[mtnsnake]

16. She's ok but she tries to copy some of Keith's mannerisms too often

She does the same voice gestures too much.

Still, she's been good overall for Democrats, although Keith is by far the best.

[grantcart]

17. her analysis of Obama's strategy was completely wrong

[Darkhawk32]

19. Rachel isn't stupid. She's a new character on TV and she's trying to

keep legitimacy with independent-voting viewers.

[JuniperLea]

20. Kinda sad you had to spell that out here...

Good call.

[calmblueocean]

22. I like Rachel. And she's right. This isn't in the bag for Obama yet.

As much as everyone else wants to say that Obama's already won this, he hasn't. Rachel is the only one prudent enough to say that. After 2004, I prefer prudence to premature applause.

[trof]

23. Chris Matthews just curled his lip. Buchanan wrinkled his brow.

WHAT DOES THIS PORTEND?
