Kirk Watson is a Democratic Senator from Texas who has worked with Obama over the last year and is an enthusiastic enough Obama supporter to be on the live feed on Hardball for Obama. Another reasonable question, another answer filled with nothing. And he’s a Senator!
Matthews certainly hasn’t been hard on Obamaup to this point, and it’s high time he’s gotten around to this. Of course, Chris Matthews doesn’t actually hate everyone, and doesn’t think you’re an idiot. Neither do I, contrary to the implications in the commentary I’ve had to put up with whenever I bring up this point about Obama and his supporters. But if you think it’s bad now, when Obama’s not officially the nominee, it’s going to get multiple times worse when he is the nominee, and he’s going to have to answer some hard questions, which will force many of his supporters to do the same. The media can only be soft on Obama for so long.
* A possibly leaked memo from CNN to the newsfolk about how to handle the Castro resignation news. Good to know they, uh, have their priorities straight.
* Newsweek profiles Students for Concealed Carry, an advocacy group forming in response to the campus shootings we’ve had this past year. I still think the “Gun Free Zones” that were in place for most of these shootings are a lawsuit waiting to happen, but kudos to this group for making some attempts at an inroad. The group’s website.
