Poll question: Why is Joe Scarborough pulling so hard for Obama to be the Democratic nominee?
Does Scarborough want Obama to be the nominee because he sincerely thinks Barack's message is great for America, as he again stated on his show this morning? He even admitted how he's for Obama to win the Democratic Primary and went so far as implying that him voting for Obama in the general election would be a possibility. While he was singing for Obama, he and his staff were highly critical of the Clintons and their campaign again.

Joe said this morning how he won't apologize to anyone about how he feels about Obama because he loves Barack's message, even though he does have some big policy differences with Obama.

Why is Scarborough pulling so hard for Obama to win the Democratic nomination, even hinting there's a chance he could vote for him if he does?

1. Scarby's paycheck depends on ratings
He's certainly not an honest, intelligent or non-partisan political analyst.
His job is to create entertaining television that drives viewership
and to that end he will say anything to create tension, movement and drama.
You might say he's a drama queen.

2. His hatred for Hillary Clinton trumps all...
...and I say this as someone who does not back either Hillary, Obama or Edwards as yet.

Scarborough was in that hateful Congress that lost its mind over Clinton and Monica and virtually everyone from
that time who hated Clinton still have a major hate on for him—and her.

His “like” for Obama <i>may</i> be rooted in honest feeling, but he's such a disingenuous bastard
that I utterly discount it.

6. He enjoys pushing the race issue to the forefront and having Tweety
follow along behind with the same theme. Those two have had an agenda lately. Great tag team.

Probably salivating over the dissension they can create if Obama wins.

I voted *other.*

9. Last night Joe said that Hillary was inevitable, Big Mo was with her.
Are we watching the same show, or is this another post of yours for gratuitous bashing of Obama?
