The pundits on the right who want to maintain an ounce of credibility are abandoning Willard.

I see Mark H. on MSNBC all the time, and my impression has been that he is generally supportive of Obama.

During a press conference and was suspended by MSNBC for calling the President a dick?

And that is the predominate RW talking point today ... Romney repeated it almost word for word this afternoon.

Halperin said something about romney not too long ago that was not favorable, either. Basically, just calling him on his shite.

which is the same grade he gave him for the first debate.

It shows what a hack he is: who else would argue that Pres Obama's performance in the second debate merited the same grade as the first?

about obama.

I think it is his general indoctrination into the corporate media - good news for Rs/bad news for Ds.

But, he about had an aneurism a few weeks ago when Romney did one of his stupid ass things and simply would not admit he was wrong, and MSNBC had Halperin on, and his face got beat red and he just kept stuttering, 'they BOTH can't admit they are wrong!" He just kept saying it, and was about to have a stroke about it.

just tells you how bad it was last night when he calls it a clean BO win, even if he can't bring himself to give him more than a B- for it.
