Apt, I think. Last week must have just absolutely killed him. Must have been sheer agony for him to have to watch all those Dems succeed and republi-CONS fall, much less having to talk about it at length on camera.

compared to those who had to watch him. Him playing with all those swing states on the big map, trying like hell to give mittens all the advantages. He and joe the scab need to go away now.

...and he's not a pundit like Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow.

He is the NBC News Chief White House correspondent and strives to appear neutral. He kind of has to do that to avoid looking like a polar opposite of Jeff Gannon. Admittedly, maybe he tries a little too hard, but he'd have no credibility in the WH correspondent room if he was biased.

As you recall, he's changed his tune considerably from the days when he offered comments and opinions on "Countdown". Now that he's a genuine reporter instead of an "MSNBC contributor" he has a new role to play.

I'm not about to defend everything Todd says, but I also don't want a liberal slant applied to hard news. Let the pundits debate what he reports on MSNBC prime time.
