If Joe does as well tonight as he did on the Nichole Wallace show Monday

The media will finally say he is hitting his stride.. I went to his last campaign rally in my area two days before caucus, and he had them walking out with street signs.. Hey Kerry was pretty darned good too!!..

And his team is just producing some of the best commercials.. I have to cross-tab this one Skya put up.. its so good..but his team has been churning tons of them them out for the internet.

The right media and left media want Bernie or even Mike.. because it will cause so much consternation. The more hair pulling the happier they are and the longer the talking heads will be employed..

They hated Obama because he was such a calm person and would not stoop to the endless slop that Trump will snort around in like a pig just to get media notice..

But the other side of that coin, you could be a saint, and if you can't get the press.. then no one is going to know about you..

I may actually watch the debates tonight??

He sounded completely at ease and fielded tough questions with self-effacing honesty. If he can translate that to the debate stage it could instill great confidence in those who are worried or wavering.

apparently Bloombergs team was suggesting that Joe and Amy and Pete, if they stayed in the race would be giving it to Bernie.. Noooo if Bernie gets the nod, it is because Mike came in so late and tried to blow past everyone who was working to get their messages out with a bunch of pretty commercials. It will be Mike who carries that scarlet letter if Bernie wins, not the others

and throwing money at ads such depicting him working with President Obama.

Not the same thing, but in a similar manner Hillary was leading until Comey violated the hatch act, and sent the letter to the republicans in Congress, and the media immediately said the email investigation was reopened, which was a LIE, and then had every right wing pundit across the various outlets propagating that lie. Hillary's poll numbers dropped almost immediately.

The power of the media at work

Joe needs to come out strong tonight, and not just why he is better than Bloomberg, but also Sanders

Joe needs a good showing tonight, a decent showing in Nevada, and then a blowout in SC. If he can do that, he's back on the track and highly competitive.

We've got your back and I've got my wallet open, ready to go.
