by Chris Christie.  We need to focus on getting out the vote big time.  Sandy has been the perfect political storm for Obama.  It's like calling three consecutive time outs before we were about to kick the winning field goal. We care about New Jersey and the...

Have you learned to tune your t.v. immediately to MSNBC after any political event? If you haven't, you would have missed an epic rant tonight against Obama from *up tingles* Chris Matthews where he chastises Obama for simply "enduring" through the presidential debate: "I don't know...

Maybe I should change the name of this series to the Saturday Night Chris Matthews Card Game, since Matthews is such a frequent topic lately. Matthews doesn't, apparently, understand that he was being mocked when Bill Maher asked whether Matthews was overly aggressive in charging racism (via RCP): Bill Maher,...

What will the media do?  It has invested everything in the tape. But there is a pretty fierce counterpunch being delivered on talk radio, on Twitter, in the blogosphere, and even on television when allowed. There is good reason to believe that Obama's post-convention bounce already is...

Chris Matthews has gone farther and more aggressively than any other major television figure in the accusation that the Romney campaign and its supporters are using racism as a core campaign tool against Barack Obama. Everything has become racist to Matthews.  The use of the term "Chicago."  Arguments over...

If you have been following the internets, you can see an anaphylactic reaction among supposed "fact checkers" over Paul Ryan's brilliantly effective speech last night. The section about the closing of a GM plant in Janesville during the Obama administration has been a particular area of attention...

Chris Matthews is pushing the race card really hard, as is MNSBC and much of the mainstream media. I sense panic, complete and utter panic. Everything is a race whistle to this crowd (is using the term "crowd" racist, Chris, or at least a dog whistle?). Matthews came...

Only one will emerge. Tonight's match-up pits two of the all time great race card plays. In the near corner:  Joey, Joey, Joey Biden.  The Man.  The Legend.  The Vice President. In the far corner:  Touré, Touré, Touré Neblett.  The Man.  The Legend.  The MSNBC commentator (language warning): The poll is open until...
