I would not bet on it. They can also brainwash GOP Dupes in to nominating a RINO.

The LSM might not be able to get the twit re-elected, but they’ll do anything in their power to try to. They have no choice other than to try to tear down the GOP nominee by appealing to the “swing voters” tards of this country.

It is the media’s job to make Obama a success. Chris Matthews said so.

There will be hell to pay if Obama is not reelected.

Well the MSM including Mathews is in for a BIG surprise come November 2012.

“Well the MSM including Mathews is in for a BIG surprise come November 2012.”

A nanosecond after the Republican nominee is declared the winner, I expect to see tears streaming down Chrissy Mathews face as he curses the American voters as being “ignorant racists.”

Baraq is a guaranteed loser in a 2-way matchup.

And a likely winner (with a Clintonian plurality) in a 3-way matchup.

If the Dems can get Mitt nominated, they’re in good shape.

to the gas station are the direct result of the Administration’s currency policies, not to mention that a weak dollar decreases the very investment that drives company formation and job creation.

I don't think that's it; at most it is only the shallow economic messenger.

I think it is the blatant leftism, i.e. centralized government control and insidious interdiction into all societal and economic interaction, such that those of us who would otherwise invest under a trustworthy and personal-responsibility supporting government, now retreat from such investment. God knows I am not going to risk any personal resources under a police authority which can arbitrarily confiscate them at any time, via any arbitrary law.

There are fewer and fewer US citizens around who lived through the Soviet Communist experience, but they had economists up the kazoo, and you see how many Soviet auto's and computers are on the world market. We are deeply deeply in fundamentally philosophical trouble and there is virtually NO articulate conservative in DC who has the balls to declare it.

Interpreting our tragedy in simple economic or monetary terms is pissing in the wind. We have abandoned (and I believe intentionally by some furtive cabal) the principles of individual freedom and trust. Obama is simply a human manifestation, like Bill Clinton incidentally, who views the world through mendacious eyes, exactly like their cheating biological fathers. More sinister(ly?) I think there are those who recognize and exploit this. A really, really, really ruthless crowd. They are not dumb.

Feel free to quote.

the MSM can and is doing this.

They do not report stories.

They apply owellian tactics of stating all information as “good”.

only DNC approved people are allowed to speak on CNBC.

All politics is local and focused on the economy. This is as true for the wealthy as for those on the dole.

What a maroon.

I don’t even know where to start with this guy. He contradicted himself so many times in this article, that my head felt like a ping-pong ball reading it.

He sounds like a liberal trying to rent a clue, to me.

They know what’s happening; that’s why they push so hard. If Obama loses all 50 states in 2012, Matthews will be sad but not surprised.

Too many people throughout the political spectrum know that we can’t have this dope in the White House; at this point he is looking at his shrinking number of supporters versus Everybody Else, and Everybody Else is very motivated.

I don't know who this clown is but he has a very idiosyncratic view of history. Just for one, if you have a "strong economic recovery" under way, you don't have to distribute blocks of cheese from government stockpiles in caves in Nebraska to feed people. You don't need cans of beans so cheap they don't even come up to the standards of store brands-- plain yellow labels saying just, "green beans." That was the Carter years.

The rest of his history is equally psychotic.
