Steve Kornacki does a job that no other hosts on MSNBC want to do. I give him credit because it takes a lot of study and analysis, and he doesn't usually get much airtime. Except during the elections and that's when he gets the spotlight. He can only use the word "flip" so many times, and then he has to say it another way. "Steal" is a synonym for "flip," and he says it quick enough that most people fail to notice. I don't think we should read so much into it.

You don't like the guy? Well OK, it does get a little tedious listening to him for more than about 5 minutes.
