Don’t Everybody Cry at Once

Tucker’s finally going to have to find a real job.

Insiders tell TVNewser Tucker Carlson’s 6pmET show Tucker is getting the axe, but Carlson stays on as a political contributor to all MSNBC shows at least through the 2008 election. The official announcement, expected tomorrow, will include details about who will replace Tucker at 6pmET as well as other political programming additions. Sources say the network is going to beef up its schedule with more NBC News talent.

The article alludes to an unnamed “new project” that will be taking Tucker’s slot. Could this at long last be the Rachel Maddow show?

    Oh, how cool would this be? She has got so much more going for her than that little dweeb Tucker. She’s smart, has a grasp of reality, facts to back up her arguments, and she wears cute glasses. Tucker has…well, he, um…wait, I’ll think of something, just give me a minute…

    According to MSNBC, Bush sang at the Gridiron Club today.

    GordonM said

    Bush surprised the white-tie audience of more than 600, including Supreme Court justices, Cabinet members and lawmakers, by appearing as the final act of the club’s annual revue. To the tune of “Green Green Grass of Home,” he sang about looking forward to his return to Texas.

    Meaning, I assume, that he’s named his ranch in Paraguay “Texas”.

    a Rachel Maddow show? I’d consider starting to watch TV again if that happens.

    *ndfg waves at Big Mitch* not exactly a Clinton supporter here, but i do like a lot of things about her. I’ll vote for her over any Republican i can think of. I do get annoyed at Hillary-haters, the dyed-in-the-wool Rethug type. First i was for Dodd, then Edwards, now i think i’ve kinda moved into the Obama camp.

  18. By Lea (no uh) on Mar 9, 2008 7:29 pm |

    Yeah, the endorsement of McCain rather annoyed me too.

  19. By Lea (no uh) on Mar 9, 2008 7:31 pm |

    I’m not overjoyed with either of them but I think either of them would be ok and infinitely better than any Rethug.

  20. By Big Mitch on Mar 9, 2008 7:31 pm |

    ndfg: I may be working on the longest streak in history of picking losers. I’ve given the kiss of death to Dodd, Edwards, Kucinich. And that is just this election cycle. But it is Hillary’s turn. Either to be President or to get the Big Mitch kiss of death. Time will tell.

    “Hillary Clinton has won states with about 260 electoral votes. Barack Obama has won states with about 190. And we decide the presidency not by a popular vote, we decide it by the electoral vote.”

    according to her supporter, Ed Randell on Meet Teh Press.

  23. By newdealfarmgrrrlll on Mar 9, 2008 7:39 pm |

    one thing i like about Hillary is that she’s survived some pretty vicious slander by the Rethugs over the years, however, i don’t like seeing her campaign resort to some of those types of tactics. Attack the Rethugs, not our own.

    Of course, that assumes that Obama voters are going to stay home and let McCain take it if their man doesn’t win. Seems an unlikely outcome given the low popularity of the policies McCain exemplifies.

  31. By Big Mitch on Mar 9, 2008 7:52 pm |

    If the election were held today, McCain would lose to either candidate. However, Obama has a larger electoral vote margin. Undortunately, for him to win, he has to take Virginia. He is ahead there, but only at the level of the third decimal point. (i.e. McCain and Obama are tied 47-47%.)

    Hillary wins in the electoral college decisively, too. She is comfortably ahead in enough states to win the election.

    As between Hillary and Barack: they have an approximate tie in the popular vote as of today. 1/2 of one tenth of a percent separates them.

    Obama may win a caucus in Wyoming, but that does not change anything in the electoral college map.

  32. By Big Mitch on Mar 9, 2008 7:56 pm |

    One thing that really frosts me is to hear eveyone saying that Hillary wants to over-turn the will of the people, by relying on super-delegates. Those are the rules. And they exist for a good reason.

    Another thing is that she is accused of breaking the rules by wanting the Florida voters have their votes counted. Did she campaing in Florida? No. (Obama ran a TV add there, but said he couldn’t help himself because it was part of a big media buy.)

    You are right Betsy, but not enough to put Wyoming in play.

    OTOH, enough will switch to put your own state in play, and, if I recall, Hillary won the popular vote there.

    OBama won the caucuses, but I fail to see why that is more democratic than super-delegates.

    I am just saying.

    I don’t have a vested interest in either candidate. However, my fear is the Dems will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory the longer this campaign drags on.

    And that’s why Clinton’s endorsement of McCain enrages me, as well.

    Come November I will vote Democrat. I only hope it’s not in vain. And it pisses me off that that’s the mode I’m in.

    This is a big point. Not only does Obama win in more states, but by wide-enough margins that he can weather a couple of losses and still come out ahead. Of course, this is still March and not November.

    I am not so sure that the Dems are hurting themselves with this debate. After all, they get free airtime for their debates, and the candidates are getting themselves more well known.

    If I ruled the world, I would make them campaign on one issue only: Who can be meaner to pro-torture John McCain?

    FL is complex, since it was the R legislature that changed the primary date, knowing that would disenfranchise the Ds. Obama talked to the network (MSNBC I think), but they don’t have a separate feed for FL. Clinton held plenty of “fundraisers” in FL leading up to their faux primary.

  49. By Big Mitch on Mar 9, 2008 8:24 pm |

    Everyone criticizes Hillary’s campaign against Obama, but what about Obama’s campaign against her? He has put it out there that she was in favor of this war. That’s not exaclty true.

    The object of the enterprise (the passage of the Authorization to Use Force) was to convince Obama that Bush had the authority and was crazy enough to wage war. Then, it was hoped, Saddam would do what we wanted.

    He didn’t because he thought that the American saber-rattling was a bluff, according to what he told CIA interrogators before he was hanged. Why did he think it was a bluff? Who knows but dissent in this country may have emboldened him to recklessly refuse to comply with American demands. The war came, and it maybe more Obama’s fault than Hillary’s.

    according to her supporter, Ed Randell on Meet Teh Press.

    Well, that’s pretty silly of Ed Randell to be putting that “funneh math” out there. The states Hillary has won in the primary don’t translate to her winning them in the general. As an example, Arizona. That’s Mccains hands down. No question.

    More importantly, at this point, the mathmatical wizards at the clinton campaign need to be working on counting pledged delegates and get a firmer grasp on the fact they are not winning. I think she could gain some ground by going with the reality instead of playing some “Fantasy Election” game counts.

    I don’t know about the other states they’re claiming they can beat john mccain in but AZ is not one. Also, they base alot of their talk on their own polls. We’ve seen how far off the polls in general this time have been and based on their applying the same old conventional constraints cannot be predicted. I don’t think they can predict based on polls quite with the certainty that was in the past.

    I question their ability to work with, or even recognize, the new reality of this primary data. They were the predictors of practically a cake walk for hillary’s campaign. The reality doesn’t reflect that. They were also the predictors, as evidenced by their lack of financial planning, that hillary wouldn’t need to do much after Super Tuesday so that was unplanned.

    No, I don’t think much of their seeing the reality of the clinton candidacy and, even now, their constant denial of the reality that she’s not the incumbent front runner.

    I don’t know anything about Ed Randell specifically so I’m not calling him out in particular, just an overall observation of how they’ve operated the Clintons’ candidacy and campaign.

    No, I’m not a hillary supporter and I’m not banging on you personally because you are supporting your candidate. I am banging on the dlc/terry mcauliff candidates….. with good reason: The delegate voting we’ve seen does not translate into electoral votes.

    History. When one party has the nomination settled, but the other fights up to the convention, the first party wins.

    And Clinton is going one better. With the 3 AM ad, she makes “national security” the number 1 issue. Which she cedes to McCain (well, Mark Penn was explicit about it, but consider the evidence she cited of her foreign policy experience - by that measure, Sinbad, Sheryl Crow, Chelsea and Bjork all are qualified to be CiC.)

  52. By Big Mitch on Mar 9, 2008 8:30 pm |

    Gordon, I loved McGovern, and I still have an election poster for him in my house. However, I am thinking it would have been a good thing if someone had beat Nixon in the election.

    Clinton did not campaign in Florida. Both candidates raised funds in Florida. Obama probably gets a pass for campaigning, for the reasons you stated, but I still don’t get where is the justification for the allegation that Hillary cheated, or wants to change the rules. The thing that would be a disaster is if Florida voters are disenfranchised by the Dem. party.

    She cast her vote with “conviction”. Votes are not to play games of manipulation with. That’s for negotiators. When it comes to voting. She’s defended it many many times. Additionally, where were either of the clintons when we needed someone from our party to come out and call bush on this insanity. I saw it was bullshit from my own living room in this small town. We knew he would do Iraq long before 9/11 and we knew why. Even daddy bush knew it was insane for Americans to do Iraq in this fashion. I expect my party elders, my party representatives in Congress to be able to discern between bullshit fear mongering and reality. War is too leathal to do otherwise.

    She didn’t do that. She went along with “conviction” to the war.

    She came out of SC saying “On to Florida!”.

    Superdelegates will vote how they vote. She has pushed for them to vote on loyalty. They will vote as politicians always vote, to prolong their careers. Which almost certainly means with the pledged delegates.

    FL Dems need to clean their own house, then move on to clean up FL. They were disenfranchised by the R legislature, and it won’t be a big disaster at all if their primary doesn’t count. Hell, they’re used to being disenfranchised by their own R politicians.

    Myrtle — it was I who invited this debate, so you don’t have to worry about me thinking that you are banging on me personally.

    We can debate like grown-ups here. As I have said before Gordon made some good points about how Hillary was a pooh-pooh-head for making the 3:00 phone call ad, and “endorsing” McCain.

    Pooh-pooh head. Now, that’s what I call debating like grown-ups.

    As to Clinton math-geniuses — and I am not one — here’s what I see. Neither candidate can get to the convention with enough elected delegates to win on the first ballot. However, the MSM seems to repeat like a mantra that Hillary can’t win on elected delegates, never mentioning that neither can Obama.

    However, no one is going to stand for the candidate being ahead in the pledged delegate count to be undermined by the supers. No one. Nothing can rip the dems apart faster than them doing that. Additionally, the party will be ripped apart by this “Dream Ticket” notion. It is being forwarded, by the clintons’ no doubt, that the dems can’t make it without them. There are plenty of children need adopted and they should stand down with this parental concern trollery that a Democratic candidate cannot stand alone with the strength necessary to defeat the pubs without them propping him up. I mean, the dlc and terry mcauliff has been front and center in the last two elections and look where going right has left us. Democrats cannot be better republicans, and yet, over and over, the DLC/mcauliff takes us there. We’ve just been experiencing that in the last week. This is how we’ve lost the last two times.

    Anyway, the Clintons’ campaign needs to let the Democrats take it from here and stop thinking they are the only two people on earth that can beat the pubs. That’s just not the case. DLC for sure has proven they cannot beat the pubs. So let the past go and stay in the past.

    Mitch, thanks for saying that. I’ve been officially banned at fdl for trying to have decent conversations about the elections. Its just as well because I got kind of tired of being called a “misogynist” for not being for Hillary. This is better conversation territory with the trexicans anyhoooo :-)

    So, yes, the media is playing huge games, but we do expect that. Some of it is really over the top though. Ratings. They do what they do for ratings only. That’s why we all bring other perspectives and sources to each other on blogs and such. :-)

    BTW, YAY Tucker getting CANNED!!! *happy dance* :D

    erm, *ndfg blushes* excuse the somewhat double post a minute or two ago, i screwed up the edit somehow.

    ndfg - yes, I comment there at gnb some. LM rocks always and Hubris too. tlg tooooo :-) Yes, they’re the official Steve alums. Glad to see you when you post there too ndfg.

    Just to be up front: I am adamantly opposed to the clintons’ campaign. I was for Edwards and, since he dropped out, I’m for Obama. I like being for someone finally :-)

    Perhaps MSNBC can pair the reporter from the Scotsman with Rachel. That would certainly be a massive upgrade in journalism and a poke in Tucker’s eye. Do I seem a bit vindictive?

    Not at all. I rather like that idea!

    just got off the phone after a long conversation with a girlfriend, she’s backed off politics, is totally disgusted by the whole show. And she has gone from being a big Hillary supporter to saying “I am SICK of both clintons, i am disgusted with them!” I was rather stunned to hear my usually laid-back friend be so vehement.

    I like Obama, what finally moved me into his camp was the overwhelming enthusiasm he has generated among the youth. My jr-in-college daughter and all her friends are caught up in politics, involved, volunteering, asking me the occasional wonky question (”we thought you’d know mom, cuz you read all that heavy duty stuff on the blogs”). It’s darn inspiring.

    What’s really interesting to me is that a simple typo in Mr. Carlson’s name can also give you a summary of his career.

    According to MSNBC, Bush sang at the Gridiron Club today.

    pellora hussein said

    Bush surprised the white-tie audience of more than 600, including Supreme Court justices, Cabinet members and lawmakers, by appearing as the final act of the club’s annual revue. To the tune of “Green Green Grass of Home,” he sang about looking forward to his return to Texas.

    Meaning, I assume, that he’s named his ranch in Paraguay “Texas”.

    Can USA extradite from Paraguay?

    Oh, and while we’re going on about electoral maps - note that Clinton carried OH and TX based on the rural vote - all the urban areas went for Obama. In the general, the rural areas of OH and TX and likely to go R.

    Could that be the Repugs gaming the system then? I’ve heard tell, but not sure if anyone really knows.

    Very good thread, BTW. I am learning a lot :-D
