Bill Press was just on MSNBC singing her praises and predicting she will be the nominee while trashing Obama in the process. Now I see James Carville on CNN whose long been in the tank for Hillary--along with his pal, Paul Begala. They take turns on CNN promoting her candidacy.

1. Tweety can't stand her.

3. I was referring to the Dem party pundits. Am not sure how I would classify the mercurial Tweety.

10. Yes, his adulation of Giuliani reminds me of how he swooned for Dubya in his flight suit.

5. Tweety has Hillary Rosen on quite a bit and she is a Hillary supporter.
He has on Bob Shrum a lot and I don't know who he supports. The candidates may not want a Shrum endorsement. :)

I'm trying to think of any Obama, Edwards or Richardson pundits and I'm blanking.

8. Hilary Rosen is definitey in the tank for Hillary. Read what she wrote in Huff Post.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hilary-rosen/obama-is-no-threat-to-hil_b_32299.html

When Washington isn't speculating about this election, we are speculating about the next one.

Barack Obama is the real deal. I've loved reading about him and watching him in interviews over the past weeks. He is refreshing, lofty and connected to our struggle to demonstrate the better selves in all of us.

I like the way he talks about teaching children purpose. And I like the way he emphasizes empathy as the quality most missing in public discourse. Of course I wouldn't vote for him to be President. Not yet anyway. Call me old fashioned but I think the pressure of the job requires at least some experience. And he just isn't there. And it is very hard to envision him catching up in the next two years.

Obama flirting with running is the best thing that could happen to Hillary Clinton. Speculate away my punditcrat colleagues about how Hillary's Democratic primary support would drain away to Obama and surge him forward. I see it differently. While Senator Clinton doesn't need a comparison chart to prove her bonafide readiness for the presidency, in this case it will be a gift of a chart.

2. Well, there is Doug Schoen on Fox, and Harold Ford on Fox as well.
I don't watch Fox, but I know they are commentators and they both support Hillary.

She's got it made in the shade with media consultants.

7. I saw Donna Brazile speak the other day
here at my school (she's a prof here), and I got the impression that she was maybe supporting Obama, though she may not have decided yet (she didn't say specifically). She's often on the Situation Room.

9. Thanks. I do not think I have heard Brazile voice a preference on CNN--at least so far.

14. But Arianna is not a paid political analyst, like the others. CNN, MSNBC hired these folks.
