The debate taking place on Morning Joe right now…

…between Marc Thiessen & Daniel Freedman is an example of some of the best stuff on this type of show. Not only was it a good debate but the bell made it fun. (It wasn’t a cowbell but what can you do?)

I’d like to see this as a regular feature of the show, maybe once a week.

But if you do remember Cowbell:

Don’t get angry when you read this…

…if you are very conservative but I want to say I just got the greatest complement from a woman who works for the Joe Scarborough (Morning Joe) which I watch religiously. She follows the blog every day because I talk about Joe and she says that although I hit him quite a bit, I treat him and the show fairly.

There is no greater complement to receive when a person you criticize can say to you that you are being fair. There have been some wonderful moments here but that complement is going to last for a very long time.

I was in the middle of writing another post when I heard Joe talk about the super-majorities and the nonsense of complaining about republicans. When the subject of republicans came up the words “Sarah Palin” came out of someone’s mouth and the first words that came in the background was “wrote on her hand.”

Not a word about the speech, how it was received, her popularity at Daytona, she wrote on her hand that’s all that matters.

but that wasn’t the amazing thing. Mika then went after Scott Brown saying the voters of Massachusetts don’t know him, he doesn’t stand for anything and voted for nothing. You ignorant Massachusetts rednecks!

I like Mika but I don’t remember seeing her anywhere that I went.

and that Kennedy seat nonsense from her? Maybe I should call her Mika Coakley.

If democrats want to know why they aren’t taken seriously, this is why. Contempt for the people.

I’d be financing 3rd party Tea Party candidates in every congressional race I can.

If you think Democrats are NOT thinking of doing this you’d better think again. Historically the best features and issues of 3rd parties are adopted by one of the major parties and they tend to be folded in, otherwise you are going to get a series of plurality elections.

Morning Joe is also talking about this as an advantage for Harry Reid.

Remember Bill Clinton never won 50% of the popular vote in either of his elections. I’m with Glenn Reynolds on this one:

I think it’s smarter for Tea Party activists to target primary races, rather than starting their own party as seems to be happening in Nevada. Two words: “Ross Perot.” Two more: “Ralph Nader.”

I would actually run candidates in both democratic and Republican primaries. There is no reason why a person who is fiscally conservative can not be liberal in social issues. Cast a wide net and work together when you can.
