O'Donnell is only one making sense on MSNBC tonight

by stating the obvious that Romney's 35% in New Hampshire, the neighboring state of MA--where he was governor & one of Romney's home states is not that impressive! Furthermore it represents only a 3-point improvement for Romney over 2008--what a front runner!

On another note I really wished they would have taken on big mouth Sanunu who said that Obama ruined the economy!? What does he think Obama inherited! 750,000 jobs lost in just the first month of Obama's presidency and that's Obama's fault? The economy on the brink of depression!? They should have called him on it.

I love Rachel, by the way, but I'm getting sick of her 'isn't this exciting' act--first, it's not all that exciting--it was predicted. They should start calling the republican spokesman on their inaccuracies.

Romney Is doing less than Mccain did In both 2000 and 2008 and what Hillary did In 2008.

If your from MA you should be able to win NH Primary.Only Kennedy In 1980 failed to do that.

2. Only a fifth of the vote is in. Romney's numbers are slowly falling.

Romney may "win" this with only 31%.

5. Totally agree...anything less than 50% for the guy who has a home in NH is a disaster.

It reaffirms how unappealing his Party finds him. His victory dance tonight is meaningless.

Rachel is awesome and despite being a little over the top I love that she is "moderating" and hope she continues to do so.

My only other complaint is almost that everyone at MSNBC seems to be guilty of deliberately trying to spin the narrative that this years presidential election will be close ( to drive up the ratings.)
I don't recall anyone ever saying there is a GOOD chance these buffoons on the right have become so radical that President Obama will crush any of these cockroaches when they come out of the "old white racist" primaries and into the light of the real world.....
....because that is exactly what is going to happen in this "youtube world."
It's going to be a landslide if we all chip in and work hard.

8. although O'Donnell's weird question trying to compare 92-poppy bush NH with 12-Mittens NH made NO

sense and Sununu (doesn't he look like the little grandma in the schoolhouse rock songs?) made him look like an idiot momentarily.

I can't believe they let Sununu say Obama ruined the economy and said nothing to rebuff him.
