actaully they have not been: they have torn him to shreds mostly. They have said, he can pick himself up and still has a lot of strong supporters but they have also said he is a lousy debater and will need to improve or it is over.

Since he isn't so quick on his toes. They'd be better off limiting his time to answer questions to 15 seconds so he doesn't have to try to go into detail and get all fouled up in the process. Maybe it will be better for them to continue to do this.

Meanwhile Ron Paul can target the college audiences where the kids can get really excited about him and go convince their parents to vote for him and forget about these expensive straw polls. I'm beginning to think they are a waste of time.

If I were someone like Gary Johnson I'd just go out and do what Ron Paul is doing and speak at colleges.

It's just you.

Now, is it me or is MSNBC avoiding questioning the administration about Solyndra?

When Frank Lutz had the results for his focus group last night and so many were switching their support from Perry to Romney and really were just digusted with Perry over the immigration issue, I thought somebody was going to have to pick Hannity's chin up off the floor. He is beginning to annoy me greatly btw. After the Tea Party debate, Ann Coulter let Hannity have it on his radio show about their obvious bias and pushing Perry down everyone's throats. It is so obvious it should be an insult to most people's intelligence.
I don't agree with Beckel or Williams very often, but I like Juan and I think Beckel is funny as all get out. I just take him with a grain of salt.

I think Beckel and Colmes are both paid plants just to make some controversy. They have no value in life other than to play devils advocate. They couldn't find a real job, so they found their niche playing the fools in an intelligent conversation.
No one could really believe the things they say, other than a few fools that post here.
I used to watch Colmes on Hannity, and always thought he was a plant, put there to say stupid things.
Beckel is nothing but a loudmouth blowhard who hasn't been relevant for a very long time, if ever.. Didn't he work for Jimmy Carter...? "nuff said...
Williams, sometimes he is OK, but gets a little carried away at times...

Because the flip-flopping Rombot is the 2012 version of Dukakis and John Kerry , Mormon style.

Methinks that the senior republicans are kind of fed up with the clowns in this ring and now are pushing for the governor of New Jersey to run. If he does watch how quick that they switch up (can you say "squirrel!") and give him mad support. They are doomed and they know it. Whenever a pizza saleman knockoff your favorite in florida you know that you are in trouble

I've definately picked up on this, but am not surprised.

Fox News is big/mainstream media as well....just not tilted to the left to such a strong degree. Their journalists run in many of the same circles as the others.

e.g......I like O'Reilly (and to date I'm not a Ron Paul supporter) but he doesn't even understand Ron Paul's argument about getting our currency back on the gold standard (O'Reilly has stated the gold standard is not required by the Constitution!)
