Lots of people think Russert will be all warm and fuzzy; I don't think so. The DNC cannot afford another disastrous fundraising period. Dean's big claim to fame was his fundraising ability, which I have maintained all along was a big sham. Now that it is shown that he is NOT good at fundraising, they cannot afford to have him as spokeperson.
They knew he wasn't any good as a spokesperson; that is why the liberal media has avoided having him on TV.
Therefore, the liberal media is having him on now at the request of the dems and the media continues to march along in lockstep. I know the leadership of the dems never wanted him in the first place, but the state level people that voted him leader must now be shown that he is a loser for them. I wonder if Dean knows the long knives are out for him.
I disagree. Russert will be quite warm and fuzzy.
I understand your reasons for feeling otherwise... and it would in fact be the smart thing for them to do... but partisanship has been trumping intelligence for the Dems for decades. They're not about to wise up now.
We'll see on Sunday. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit it and eat my words.

I agree! So typical of the MSM, to work with the DNC to protect their image. The media is nothing but another arm of the DNC.
They can't toss Dean. MveOn runs the Dem party..they would go apes**t..they were the ones who got him the post, remember..this is all a smokescreen..
However, after the 2006 election, when the Dems lose seats in BOTH houses again, then Reid, Pelosi, AND Dean get tossed..
Consider my words eaten. I got through about a third of the transcript and decided that you were right. It cannot be said that Russert was "warm and fuzzy" with him at all. He was actually pretty tough. No doubt it will be used as evidence of "conservative media bias" by the moonbats, but I think you're quite correct about the motivation behind it.
