I'm in an alternate universe from Chris Matthews and his guests

Wow.

On his weekend show.

According to them:

Romney has the momentum.

Obama has the harder task over the next two weeks than Romney does.

Romney showed America that he is not weird, in the debates.

Romney convinced America that he is the fixer who can do the job.

Etc. etc., etc.

I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

What happened? Someone put horse heads in their beds??

making fun of him at the Al Smith dinner last week. I'm beginning to believe it. Matthews ego is trying to prove his little show is important.

I think it's more likely that the word came down from the suits that the talent need to turn the dial a little bit away from Obama support.

But I wonder if MSNBC lost viewership since that debacle after debate 1. I'd like to see the stats on the audience.

That' Chrissy Poo. Always jerking off at the jaws. Him and that troll Toadie. All of them are attention whores. Even Cenk Uygur is getting to be obnoxious. Thinks he knows better than Obama's team how to run a campaign. They need to STFU. What is with Rachel lately? She seems to be getting on the same bandwagon.

he needs to suck up to for access. He went out on a limb and it has scared the bejesus out of him. Suck up time. Needs to locate the tingle and figure out who caused it.

who were on our side to state the obvious. It's kind of like burying your head in the sand.

If you can't say Romney has momentum....just look at the graphs since the first debate and say it isn't true.

But, good news, hopefully Obama stopped the bleeding at the last debate (look at Nate's charts)
