Chris Matthews just couldn't wipe that grin off his face. Interviewing him on this morning's 'Today,' Meredith Vieira began by suggesting that despite the tough electoral environment for Republicans, polls over the weekend were showing movement in their direction. She started to pose a question, but so distracting was Matthews' mugging that she couldn't continue, asking instead "why are you smiling?"
Replied Matthews:
"Because I think it's going to be a wipe-out. I think the Democrats are going to carry the House by 20-some, high-20s and I think the Senate seats are perhaps not six, but five, and I can see a big victory for the Democrats."

Matthews went on to sound a cautionary note to Dems about not dancing in the end zone. And no doubt he would seek to explain his smile and response as reflecting his amusement at the suggestion that the election might be close, not his satisfaction with the anticipated outcome. But does anyone believe he would have been equally gleeful had he been convinced Republicans were heading toward a big victory?
Careful, you're showing your age. ;-)
Yes, but will some St. Louis judge order the polls remain open an additional 3 or 4 hours this time???????????
;-)
democrats.....the party of high school bullies who just love lunch money.....someone elses.
Heh! With a bit of assistance...
Bookmarked to "schadenfreude" folder for Wednesday review.
Lunch is on me, too!
I completely agree that he has an obligation to do as you say. My purpose in responding as I did was to portray that he is so out of control rabidly Democrat, it isn't necessary for him to do it in order for everyone to know. But maybe I misunderstood what you were driving at. Maybe you're looking for "truth in advertising" that comes directly from own mouth, the obvious notwithstanding.
Oops.
"...from HIS own mouth..."
Everything about Chrissy is annoying. From his cadence, to his yelling and drooling. Plus I think he breathes from his mouth.
LOL. I agree. Seems borderline out of control to me, not unlike john mccain and hillary klinton and all of the soon to be buried Air America personalities.
With any luck, Prissy will go the Dixie Chicks path and blame FReepers for the terrorcrats (AND the enemedia's) loss.
I can see it now on Wednesday: "Conservative bloggers (ugh!) at FreeRepublic.com seemed to be a lot more organized in their attack machine----"
(I know you'll be BEAMING with joy, Jim!)
This sounds like the comment by Geroge Tenet - "It's a slam dunk!"
Matthews ought to know about "wipe". He's a bigger expert than Mr. Whipple.
What is this, "GOTV," I've read about? I briefly saw a thread about a hacking (I think) into it last night. What am I missing here?
Why? Do you think Hannity should be held professionally accountable for his obvious RNC cheerleading? He's a liberal with a talkshow. He doesn't really pretend to be something else.
BUT, in case he flops, Chrissy issued the CHA remark, "It's not a prediction.." which I desperately wanted to ask, "Then why open your mouth at all?"
