The Pubbies don’t have very good strategerists.
“Hey, you forgot to mention that Buddy Roemer wasn’t invited!”
No, but he was on Jon Stewart last night :-) (Pawlenty on Colbert).
MSNBC Intro: “...the toxic gridlock that is WAshington D.C.”
Hey, sometimes gridlock is a very good thing.
Any chance MSNBC will attempt to be balanced hoping to gain viewers. Nah.
The death to Perry by a thousand cuts comment is concerning. I hope Perry holds his own.
Anyway, I think I’ll just watch BOR. That’s how much I hate MSNBC.

Tuned in and ready to puke already.
My TV set is already smokin’ from being locked onto PMSNBC.
I cannot fathom why Republicans would agree to being on this so called news channel.
The questions will be horrible.
Me, too. I'm worried .... it's too close to HSN!
Not expecting much from the Chrissy Channel.
OMG! Obama must go?!!!!
Thank God Chrissy Matthews is off!
Blame Bush, right off the bat!
Oh good grief, they framed the entire debate by blaming everything on “Republican policies”
Starts off with a poll that blames the economy on Bush, but Obama hasn’t done much to help.
I don’t see it on CNBC. Just MSNBC.
Is Chrissy Matthews still on the air?
