1. Until the next time. n/t

[spanone]

2. twitter followers vs. national news program....

too late cory.

[FarLeftFist]

3. He has 1.4 Million Twitter followers. Does MTP get more ratings? Serious question, I have no idea.

But on Twitter this video is guaranteed to be seen by at least 1.2 million people.

7. NBC “Meet the Press” 2.72 Million (ratings from may 13)

10. Oh, more than double. Wow. Cory messed up. RNC will be running ads in no time.

The Left needs to get more organized. This is BS!

[JoePhilly]

9. People who already agree with him.

The National audience has far more independents, and he just gave some of them a reason to think both parties are the same.

[FarLeftFist]

12. Good point. He focked op. The DNC needs to get everyone on the same page and NOW!

[JoePhilly]

14. Ed Rendell needs an ass kicking too.

I've seen him on Alex Wagner's show on MSNBC recently, and I get the sense they are trying to tone her down.

[JoePhilly]

4. No ... I saw what he said on NATIONAL TV.

We should kick his ass for that nonsense he said (I saw it and screamed at the TV) until he gets this on national TV.

I hate Dems who sit quiet while GOPers spout lies, and then do what Booker did. He was weak and pathetic.

[FarLeftFist]

8. You're right, fuck it. The only way he's redeeming himself is actively campaigning for Obama

[JoePhilly]

13. If he's going to go on TV on Sunday morning ...

He needs to punch the GOP in the mouth with every breath.

The right wing folks on those show will do nothing less.

Either he gets that, or he doesn't ... and if he doesn't ... we don't need him on those shows.

[FarLeftFist]

15. True, it's time for us to start playing some offense instead of just defense. The GOP are rabid dogs

[Dawson Leery]

5. No. This tells us where he stands.

[MrSlayer]

6. No, fuck this guy.

He cut off the President's legs on national tv. Walking it back where no one will see it is a weasel move. He wants the corporate dollars and is more than happy to screw the rest of us to get them. He showed his real face and it's an ugly one.

[tokenlib]

11. It was a kind of lukewarm walkback..

How about a little attack on vulture capitalism-to show he gets it? Might upset the money bags on Wall Street...
I'm not impressed...

[Peregrine Took]

16. He's a zero in my book and always will be. N/t

[Whisp]

19. I saw him on a show a few days ago

might have been Rachel Maddow.

what a phoney clown - just leaks of self importance and loving the sound of his own voice. Rachel was very patient with him and let him speak uninterrupted - but he jsut kept saying the same thing with different words. Minor league guy.

[Iggo]

17. Nope.

First words, Cory my man.

First words.

[boxman15]

18. This pisses me off to no ends.

R-Money had no legitimate counter to the facts about his record at Bain (and he still doesn't), but now he can just say "Look, even Democrats, Democrats!, say these attacks on my job-creation record at Bain are out-of-line and dirty politics at its worst!"

I wish Democrats would take a page from the GOP and not give the right such easily accessible ammunition.

[Rowdyboy]

20. I had great hopes for Mr Booker in the beginning....now he just makes

me angry. He needs to STFU about how bad Democrats are and start representing his city.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. Cory, I thought you had a future. After this, I don't know that you'll be long for your current job

[MrScorpio]

22. At least our pols are willing to correct themselves

Unlike Republican politicians.

He saw the light and made the proper adjustment. Bravo, Mayor Booker.

Now, if only we can get the Rank and File to stop having pissfits long after the fact.

[Ship of Fools]

23. That is heartening, I agree with you.

But I'd like our party to learn the *take no prisoners* tactics of
Rs, at least until we can squash the really, really scary stuff that
could be heading our way very, very soon!

[spanone]

25. too late...damage done

[TBF]

24. As a pacifist I can appreciate Mr. Booker's thoughts -

but as a woman I am ready to fight to get Mr. Obama re-elected. Not so much for myself, but for my daughter and her generation (and their children). The right wing has gone full-blown fascist so we may have to fight as dirty as they do. As I said in 2008 when I first started volunteering on the campaign, the President is a little conservative for my tastes but he is someone we can get elected. I still feel that way. If we are too nice the repubs are going to kill us with their PAC money. They have no problem with lying (Romney illustrates this on a daily basis) and the Koch family seems to have unlimited funds.
