"Yeesh - is she still wearing that thing? I hope she at least changed her skivvies."

A black dress of some sort. Different collar...without the white edge this time. (This means she's reeeally in mourning today; the tiny white edge yesterday indicated she still had some hope.) Also, the huge (hugh) white buttons are gone; in their place, a huge (hugh) diamond/rhinestone? brooch. (This would symbolize her future hope of that diamond-in-the-rough-herself, Hillary.)

Said Lauer: "He actually divided the country by governing from 'the far right.' Why should people trust him this time?"

First off .. President Bush is not far right and

Second .. he has tried a number of times to meet them in the middle and they have continuously slapped him in the face

Personally ... I would just tell the left to go pound sand ..

Either the left wants meet half way or they don't .. but that is up to them

"Rendell cited the failure to respond quickly to the Swift Boat Vets, contrasting this with Bill Clinton's rapid response approach."

I've heard this argument repeatedly, but there was no response, quick or otherwise.

Reminds me of what Dukakis said in 1988 when he was criticized for not responding to the Willie Horton ad: "what could I have said? It was true."

Gosh--they could have called littletommydaschle. I might have tuned in for that and I haven't watched the Today show in more than 10 years.

Yeah, I hear Tom's appointments calendar is opening up...

[McGruff]

What's Ed Rendell doing on TV so much. He should be counting the military absentee ballots in PA unless he wants to dis-enfrachise those who are giving so much for this country.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Daschle might be saddened, very saddened, but does anyone doubt that he will now be joining his wife in the lobbying business? Despite tearfully proclaiming his love of S. Dakota, sunrises at Mt. Rushmore, blah, blah, blah, he'll never move back there.

What's Ed Rendell doing on TV so much.

In light of Katie's admission that it was very hard to book a Dem guest this morning, it seems clear that Fast Eddy is a shameless media hound.

Russert: "The party has to come to grips with itself. There is a disconnect in large parts of the country with the Dem party. Dems have to find words, language to speak to people of faith."

And this comment by Timmy ... the words mean nothing if you don't back them up

For YEARS the Dem Party has been all talk and no action

[IndyTiger]

Rendell cited 1964 and LBJ's huge victory, whereas by 1968 the Republicans had won back the WH.

The Democrats have been citing this example for the last 20 years! LOL. They still don't get that they are out of touch with the mainstream of middle America, and are destined for minority party status for some time to come.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

dems have not learned anything from their defeat. They continue to blame the masterful Karl Rove as the reason they lost. Anotherwords, to them, it's all about who put on the better campaign.

Over on Fox, a Dem strategist named Sascha something is saying that the Dem party has no fundamental problems, and "all we need is to find an evil genius like Karl Rove."

[sarasota]

As for Russert indicating that the Dems have to find a way to reach people of faith, it might help to have a candidate who doesn't believe that a "prayer" is God bless America, as did Kerry yesterday.

And did anyone in the MSM talk about Kerry's one liner that "we all need to come together and win the war in Iraq", or was this buried?

[sarasota]

And it's all about the GOP reaching out to liberals. Never about them meeting us halfway.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I am very disappointed in you all. I gave you a huge straight line in the headline - "Teresa blasted" - and no one has jumped on it!

[mombonn]

Why couldn't this be translated into victory? There must have been some problems in strategy."

There was nothing wrong in the strategy. 7 million more people voted for President Bush in 2004 than in 2000.

That's not strategy, that's reality. People LOVE President Bush, people TRUST President Bush.

[aphrodite74]

Yes and as Laura Ingraham says, Couric is just part of the liberal media pig pile!

[sweetiepiezer]

Got this quote off the Luciane site, a very good quote.

Could have been one of the problems.

"Gee, what might've happened to all the young voters? Well, consider this: You're not allowed to vote unless you've passed your 18th birthday. In order to have any birthdays at all, you have to have been born. And over the past 30 years or so, many Americans have ended up not being born. "

[Mo1]

I hope fellow PA voters will join me to show Rendell the door next gov. election.

Being from Philly, I was already aware of what Fast Eddie was about and didn't vote for him

Hopefully the rest of the State has learned what many already knew

[Gabz]

Over on Fox, a Dem strategist named Sascha something is saying that the Dem party has no fundamental problems, and "all we need is to find an evil genius like Karl Rove."

I heard that part abut Rove, also.

Interestingly they mentioned something earlier that I had missed altogether........kerry lost every state, except Pennsylvania, where Clinton made an appearance for him.

[EnquiringMind]

"Today Show Katie-still-in-black ping.
I think Matt was in black too.....She looks like she is going to a funeral. Makes me feel good".

Not only Katie and Matt, but every other morning host...all 3 networks and CNN are donned in black again today. Ha!

The Early Show is especially funny... four mourners sitting in a row.

GMA - Diane Sawyer in black turtleneck, Charlie and the weatherman in black suits.

[sarasota]

Yeah, those pesky values. How can liberals find values with a broken moral compass?
