Christopher Hitchens, RIP, would have loved the rough-and-tumble of today's Morning Joe. The first half-hour was a jolting fix for political junkies.
If the goring of Newt Gingrich was predictable, there was much that was not. Michelle Bachmann's debate performance was roundly praised. Lefty Jeff Sachs put himself to Ron Paul's right on the Iranian threat. Joe Scarborough and Donny Deutsch reported that normally-Dem New York CEOs have deserted Obama en masse.

***Yes, the left is “backing” Romney because he is a mormon.***
Could be one of the reasons. The MSM has probably already produced several documentaries on Warren Jeffs and all the peripheral LDS scandals of the past. Holding them under the radar until the General Election.
We can speculate on the ‘show titles’: The Cult of Mormonism. etc., Just search some FReeper threads for ideas.
Sad and diabolical - but it will be done.
They were praising her because she “kept everyone in check.” Everyone does not include Romney - just the conservatives - especially Newt. She kept them “in check” with relentless attack. They are happy with Michelle because she debased fellow Republicans (even sex-baited) - did their job for them and did it effectively to their delight.
They were all democrats commentators - including ole two-faced lyin’ Joe. They are celebrating Romney getting one step closer to the nomination with Michele’s help.
Right. We know what Michelle stands against - other conservatives. We have much less information on what Michelle stands for. If she thinks she is going to win conservative support by tearing down others rather than building up herself, she is seriously mistaken.
Michelle-federal tax attorney-Bachmann is damaged goods, by her own arrogant mouth. She isn’t going anywhere... she’s done.
GO NEWT GO.............
I’m going to be juvenile in my approach to illustrate how I now see Bachmann and her politics.
She’s not the one in the shower. ;>)

Nothing bad about Bachmann's image, other than that hairdo she had last night - which was a mistake. The long hair she usually lets down gives her more sex appeal to the average heterosexual male voter.
She's got no skeletons of any significance in her closet, and she was seeking to draw a contrast with Gingrich on ethics and integrity, and with Paul on foreign policy and national security. She is a middle class woman of faith who seems to "walk the walk." And she's not a "career politician," having entered electoral politics at age 44.
In her position as underdog, last night was her last opportunity to make big splash in Iowa, and she succeeded. Like her or not, at least people were talking about her. It sure beats being neglected, as she pretty much had been in recent weeks and months.
Of course she’s a fine conservative but if you step out of line around here the semi conservative wolfpack will attack with astounding fury.
