Have you noticed the recent trend on the talking heads shows to put on First term repubs?

People you have never heard of, who have no legislative accomplishment, are suddenly worthy of the panel discussions.

Could it be that they can argue against Obama without having a personal record of hypocrisy? Now I am sure they are directly contradicting what they said a year or two ago, but since they weren't on the National stage you don't have the immediate rebuttal available.

2. Trying to find

themselves a Grayson? If so, good luck to them.

3. The Media is collaborating with the Republicans to try to make

the Republicans look nicer kinder and more rational.

4. And of course, they put Dems on like Harold Ford of all people.

5. You'll never see an Anthony Weiner or a Donna Edwards on these shows.

The M$M is NOT liberal. Gregory nearly made me break my television this morning. I threw so many things at it...

6. They're screening for new candidates for higher offices.

An extensive political record has been a liability for some time. Putting these people up lets the shows claim "You'll see the rising star here first"

7. They're hoping to find a New GOP Face that resonates with the public.

Last ditch attempt to find someone, anyone, that will negate the need for them to rally behind a Sarah Palin in 2012.

8. That's what our media does.....

Which is why I remain surprised that we sniff up everything the media says about this President as gospel truth, and it is posted all up and down DU along with breathless comments,
while doubting everything this President has ever said to us, starting shortly after Inauguration day.

9. Not just first term...

I am quite sure they are making plans to cover the inauguration of President Scott Brown.
