Meet the Press, Oct 24 2004
Ugh - MTP’s opening segment is Ed Gillespie and Terry McAuliffe arguing like Yankees and Red Sox fans about who is going to win. I can’t think of anything more pointless.
Gillespie: “And I guarantee, if Dick Tracy and Mary Poppins vote, they’re voting for John Kerry!” Well, I’ve made up my mind.
Broder says it’s not a national election, it’s 51 elections. It needs to be said more. When Russert starts out by saying, “Latest polls show 49% This Guy, 47% That Guy - discuss", he’s actively encouraging ignorance.
You know, I really want Bush to win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote. That way, all the partisans who spent the last four years debating the electoral college system can look like morons.
Worst question ever, Russert to Byron York: “When you see the pack of wolves, do you think of Saddam Hussein?”
I bet people who have actually been attacked by wolves are mad about that ad. No candidate is truly speaking to their issues.
