Time magazine is still being printed? Who knew?

[BenLurkin]

"textbook Bush-Cheney Republican" and praise Martin for potentially being a repudiation of Bush and a "candidate of the middle class."

Apparently there are people;e willing to pay for overt left wing propaganda.

[freekitty]

I agree.

[orchestra]

Don’t matter, Saxby will win handily.

[Senator Goldwater]

This is the first election of the 2010 cycle, and its turning out to be a repudiation of Obama.

[deannadurbin]

Well Georgia is a very red state but it’s still very good news.

“...Frets His Win Will Cause Republicans to Shift to the Right...”

I’m not worried. Congress Republicans, save a few, won’t shift. ;)

Save us, Sarah! :)

Time? Sheesh, even my barber finally cancelled that thing.
This column by Grunwald is one of the most childish columns I’ve read in a while. I saw the headline and thought it referred to Mandy Grunwald. Is Michael her kid?

I wouldn't call it that, more a repudiation of Chambliss than Obama. If he hadn't have had such a Rino-like voting record he would have won handily without needing a runoff. Instead, a lot of voters (myself included) either didn't vote for him at all or voted for someone else. Even now I held my nose as I voted because I'd rather have someone who votes with the Repubs some of the time rather than none of the time like Martin would. That doesn't make him a good choice, just the only one we had.

Palin and Jindal - bringing the GOP a cure for the RINO virus. ; )

Not if he wins, which it appears he will.

Obama wants sixty, and he ain’t getting it.

Repudiation.

[irishjuggler]

"rival Obama's own victory as a repudiation of the Bush agenda of tax cuts for the rich, pork for the well-connected, belt-tightening for the working poor, drill-baby-drill, strict-construction judges and military adventurism."

I suppose that you could make the argument that Obama's victory constituted a repudiation of SOME of that, but, come on, "strict-construction judges"? As if the typical Obama voter is sitting around saying, "You know, what we really need are judges with a more expansive view of the 14th amendment."

Time magazine is a comic book.

[popdonnelly]

Simply ignore Time. It’s on the way out. RIP.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I hope so. :)

I seriously doubt that when Dems were counting Senate seats before Nov. 2 Georgia was one of the states they expected to pick up. The fact that there was even a runoff at all shows the dissatisfaction with Chambliss. Obama had nothing to do with it.

He (Henry Grunwald) was married twice. His first wife, Beverly Suser, died of breast cancer in 1981; they had three children in a marriage that lasted from 1953 until her death: screenwriter Peter Grunwald, Democratic political consultant Mandy Grunwald (Matthew Cooper’s, (Time reporter’s) wife), and writer Lisa Grunwald. In 1987, he married Manhattan socialite and former Vogue editor Louise Melhado.

Time magazine is a comic book.

That is an insult to a fine genre of literature.

Comic books are a viable literary and artistic form. Time is a blight on the intellectual landscape. Mothers should tell their children that reading Time will rot their brains.
:o)

I’m beginning to believe the only people who read and quote Time Magazine are Freepers.
