I am looking forward to Steve Kornacki analysis Tuesday night....

[USALiberal]

Not sure why so many DUers hate him.

[jimfields33]

1. I find him fascinating. He's so accurate and good at analysis

[wryter2000]

2. I am, too

He's mildly irritating with exactly the same clothes. Rolled up sleeves. A rolled up piece of paper in his hand that he never refers to. However, I find him helpful in understanding what's going on.

If Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Jesus of Nazareth were on a panel, some DUer would complain about them.

[USALiberal]

3. LOL, great point! Nt

[Mike 03]

9. I try to cut our news people some slack because they are probably

just as exhausted as we are, only they have to go on TV and radio and put on a show day after day.

[MineralMan]

4. So am I.

[Mike 03]

5. I don't get the Kornacki hate either. Of course, I listen rather

than watch and maybe it's a visual thing.

[Totally Tunsie]

6. He might be annoying, but he's good at what he does.

Better that than being pleasant and hopelessly incorrect.

[trackfan]

7. I think some find his mannerisms annoying.

It wouldn't be so bad if he were a "rah-rah for our side" guy, but he's reporting statistics, which, a good percentage of the time, may not be so pleasant. In that case, he's hard to take.

[Spazito]

8. I really liked his coverage of Bridgegate, it was very thorough, imo

I do find him, however, to be almost frenetic when on MSNBC. I don't question his analysis of the numbers, I just find it over the top and irritating more often than not.

[hlthe2b]

10. Because he is so hyperkinetic he raises blood pressure dramatically

I know he gets excited, but he is so often so OTT. I may be able to deal with it on Nov 3, but the past several weeks has had a cumulative effect that isn't at all calming, to put it mildly.

[cojoel]

29. But compared to Donald Trump Jr. these day

Kornacki is like watching squirrels in the park.

[milestogo]

11. He knows where the votes are and he's very good on election nights.

Not sure I would want to see him host his own show, but he does fine filling in and he's great when the votes are coming in.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Because he carries on like he's on Red Bull and meth.

I can't watch him without being reminded of these things:

[Sogo]

17. LOL!!

[Tripper11]

19. Perfect!!!!

It's like he's trying to fly away!

[Thekaspervote]

31. Agree! Cannot watch...or listen to him!!

[Sogo]

13. I think he's the best,

and I'm also looking forward to watching his analysis.

[liberalguilt57]

14. I'm looking forward to his analysis about four days later

If it comes down to Pennsylvania, seven counties have already announced they will not even START counting mail-in votes until the day AFTER Election Day because they say they don’t have enough staff to both run the polls on election day and count the ballots that have already come in. A lot of Democratic votes will be among those mail-in ballots. So the real vote totals may be way off on election night, and only become clear a few days later.

15. He's not the best on air personality

But yeah other than his mannerisms I don’t mind him. I’ll be interested in what he says on Tuesday.

[tavernier]

16. Oh, he's alright. Numbers just aren't my thing.

I’d rather have someone gently hug and hold my hand and feed me chocolates and tell me we are winning and ignore those mean numbers.

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. He provides essential data efficiently, but his analysis can be lacking

He can be guilty of the statistical equivalent of “Bothsiderism ”, giving too much credibility to polls or stats that deserve more scrutiny.

Rachel actually did this last night, giving undue coverage to a Bloomberg report that claimed that AA and Latino turnout was way below expectations in some states, something I believe has been debunked by other sources, including 538.

[Hoyt]

20. Like him too. Even if Biden is behind early, Kornacki will explain

how the outstanding ballots likely lean.

[spooky3]

23. He's good with that. And a reminder--VA looks red at the beginning because

The largest county in the state doesn’t report until the end, and it’s very blue. VA is definitely going blue this year

[USALiberal]

30. So true!! nt

[spooky3]

21. He doesn't annoy me nearly as much as one of the doctors on MSNBC.

She speaks too quickly, takes gasps for breath, etc. I feel my anxiety levels rising so much that I have to change the channel. I don’t know why a producer doesn’t suggest that she slow down.

[Olafjoy]

22. I love the way he breaks down the votes by county

He lets you know the percentages you are looking for to win the state and also which counties have reported. I kept waiting for him to say that magic votes were coming for Wisconsin in 2016.

[MurrayDelph]

24. He is at his best on election day

I just get sick of them dragging him out on every show to play the same game of "what if ...?"

[DesertRat]

26. I'm usually so nervous on election night

Kornacki's hyperactive delivery accentuates my anxiety.

[JCMach1]

27. I like him...

So shoot me

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. I'll watch him but not Tuesday night.

I'll set the alarm for four a.m. Wednesday. Maybe by then there will be some answers. I'm sure Kornacki will still be talking, buzzed on caffeine.

[helpisontheway]

32. I like him when he sticks to his numbers at the bosrd

I don’t like him as a host.

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. Some days, watching him is the only exercise I get. nt
