Woke up this morning, coughing and sneezing. So, I took some medicine and crawled back into bed, deciding the errands were better handled when I felt better. Wall to wall New Hampshire politics on the cable newsers. I stuck with MSNBC much of the time, passing by CNN and Fox News every once in a while. The latter two were doing a better job covering the big storms out west, but MSNBC seemed to have the New Hampshire story covered from all aspects.
They brought in Joe and Mika from “Morning Joe” and used them, Live from New Hampshire, for some analysis. I’m really liking the chemistry they seem to have. A couple of the Fox anchors really bothered me. I don’t watch that net very frequently, so I can’t say if they were regular anchors, or just subs. Seems unlikely that they’d use subs on a big news weekend, with the NH primary just around the corner.
With all of that in mind, I give you a few random links:
I have a headcold and feel like crap, but I want to say that Mike Huckabee’s band sucks. Yesterday he had a rally somewhere in New Hampshire. He was operating on one hour’s sleep, so he had his band set up and knock out some tunes to warm up the room and give himself a jolt of adrenaline. The set was not brief. They opened with In the Midnight Hour, a song, for obvious reasons, more appropriate as an encore. Huck was thumping out the bass line but his amp [...]
Clinton, Edwards eye avenues of attack against Obama
Because of the compressed calendar, there are just five short days between the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, which poses a challenge for Hillary Clinton’s and John Edwards’ campaigns: how to blunt Barack Obama’s post-Iowa momentum quickly. Tom Edsall offers a look at the chosen avenues of attack. Upon her arrival in New Hampshire [...]
Countdown: GOP’s Problems With Huckabee
David Sirota has catalogued just how petrified the GOP punditocracy is of Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee’s populist rhetoric, especially now that it appears to have *gasp* appeal to Republican voters. And he was right, because they’re now on the attack: “On Friday’s Countdown, Keith spoke [...]
I ran across this piece below a while ago and was impressed with Joe Biden’s candor with the media about the media and the state of the ‘08 race. It’s something that Stuart has mentioned here frequently in recent weeks and I’m glad to see Biden speaking up and ripping the media on making this [...]
And, finally, one to make you chuckle: Robertson: ‘I’m Not Sure I Heard From The Lord,’ ‘If I Did, I Hope I Heard Wrong’
Earlier this week, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said God told him who will win the 2008 presidential election. “He told me some things about the election, but I’m not going to say,” he said. Last night, Robertson appeared on Hannity and Colmes. When asked by Alan Colmes whether God had spoken to him about the election [...]
