New Olbermann Blog Tonight Dealing with Blackwell Appearance

[smartvoter]

JJ will be on tomorrow. He said he is toning down the Kerry support line:

"I did not see the CNN interview, but I am told Jackson did not repeat his strong weekend comments about Kerry supporting the Ohio investigations, which to me implies again that the only people more sensitive to the prospect of Kerry participation in the recount than the Republican Party, is the Democratic Party. This eludes my capability for analysis beyond what I have written here previously about the pulling back of last week’s news release by the Ohio Dems because it read the Kerry/Edwards campaign “joins” the recount, and its replacement a few hours later by an otherwise identical statement saying the Kerry/Edwards campaign “participates in” the process.

There is more parsing going on here - by both parties - than at a reunion of the Ken Starr fan club."

1. This doesn't sound promising or does it?

3. Not to me.

8. I don't know - first bonafide volley from the other side

our move.

2. Blackwell showed his colors when he repeatedly referred to

"the Democrat Party." It's one thing to be a Republican, but to follow that sleazoid directive to always get our name wrong shows you, Mr. Blackwell, are not only deluded but a nasty piece of work as well.

LOL ~ that Keef is such a witty guy, gotta love him :)

What IS the deal with the Kerry campaign's YesIWill! NoIWont! back and forth stuff?

5. It's like he's being the caricature they painted of him.

Waffle boy.

7. they're flip flopping

6. This parade is already on the march!!! -eom-

[Stand and Fight]

9. Sounds very promising to me.

Even Keith is saying that the mainstream media is going to now jump on the band wagon now that there's a "big name" involved. We can expect more coverage tomorrow for sure.

[Casablanca]

10. Sure, they'll start jumping on the bandwagon now ...

I suspect they'll be fully jumping on the bandwagon as the election results are certified. Repubs and the corporate media will try to coopt the issue for their purpose, once they know that the presidential election result won't be challenged.

11. Keith did a respectable job of debunking Masden

while leaving the door open. The Kerry business is driving me insane. I feel like screaming I insist you say something. I relate to Olberman's image of poking Kerry with a stick to see if he is alive. I loved Kerry but I can't take much more of this ! Grrrr. And so we wait.

12. I Know The Feeling But.......

I can't bring myself to give up on Kerry. I don't think I ever would regardless of what happens here. I know Kerry is a fighter and this man has never been a quitter in his life. History speaks for itself on that matter. But I'm sitting back wondering OK when is he going to do it and how? Why or what is the hold up? I'm getting so impatient. But then I have to realize this man knows alot more than me that's why he has had the career he has and not me. I just got to make myself learn to have a little more patience. I think what makes it hard is all the naysayers, negativaty in the media when there is any other than Keith, and all the puzzling crap like the whole democratic party being hush hush. Nothing from Kerry, Edwards, Gore, Clark, Teresea, Dean, Kennedy nobody. So I know something is up it has to be all these people would not be hush hush if it wasn't. Something has got to blow it's just when and is it going to kill us waiting and trying to figure out the puzzle? LOL

15. You forgot

Sharpton. Oh, and Poland. :)

[AuntPatsy]

13. It sounds to me like he is saying he is backing out some from this

spectacle which is what it is becoming when you realize that your own top men are completely against you...I see no promises...

to tone down - means to give little if any airtime

KO also accused JJ of not coming out strong enough about the election fraud and if he is alone on this, he will step back..

I don't see this as a good sign..

The recent change of events has not been very promising of late...

[NVMojo]

14. I am somewhat disappointed with the Democratic Party folks ...

whomever they are...

16. I'm in your club.
