Did anyone get the impression that Lawrence O. was

[trayfoot]

taking Big Ed to task over the Blanche Lincoln loss? Ed was a strong promoter of Halter. I kind of cringed for Ed during that exchange, but maybe I misread it. Would like input of opinion.

1. no, I got that too. nt

[polichick]

2. I do think he was taking Ed and liberals to task, but Ed more than held his own...

...pointing out that Halter may have won. GO BIG EDDIE!!

3. Manchin is far more consevative than Lincoln but his win was cheered and Lincoln jeered

[polichick]

6. We needed Manchin in order to hold the Senate and the Lincoln loss was expected. nt

4. I was just thrilled to see TWO liberal pundits at the same time...

...on my teevee.

5. LO was big time opponent of public option, a real "downer" on

the prospects of HCR. He, in fact, originally argued that it could not be brought up for passage on reconciliation. LO had a real bee in his "bonnet" about the whole issue and came down hard on progressives. He is still smarting over all that, I guess.

7. Really!

I did not realize that about him, but then I didn't know him as well as I know Ed, Chris, Keith, and Rachel. Thanks for that insight.

8. I Like LO... but he does carry some baggage in terms of his stances.
