TPMtv: '08 Roundup: Episode #10

[chissykim]

Yeah... McCain's "bipartisanship" with Ted Kennedy and the Democrats is a good thing for America.

And granting 12-20 million illegal immigrants immediate legal status is a great thing! And when you realize that this number will balloon to well over 100 million within 15 years (and this is just from Latin America alone), this really becomes a fabulous thing indeed!!!

Just what America needs! Si? :)

[LuAnnPoovie]

Both Florida's Republican Governor and Senator have just finished endorsing Senator McCain for the best interests of our nation. They do so because they understand that only a united REPUBLICAN PARTY can guarantee that President Bush's winning policies in Iraq will stay the course. McCain has been a staunch supporter of the occupation of Iraq since day 1 and will do everything in his power to guarantee that the War continues for many years to come. Our well being depends on it.

[theschmogang]

no that was 2007

[theschmogang]

yay ron paul?

[eastwood13]

You just lost me as a subscriber asshat!, I thought you were better than this, but turns out your no better than the main stream media, bias prick!

[aconnecte]

Ron Paul won 2nd place in Florida - the press left him out .... again! Let it be known - this is the America today.

[beachian]

hahahaha "Mention Ron Paul for no particular reason."

[annarboriter]

Either grow a beard or shave!

[bebop54]

i can't believe you didn't mention ron paul ??????!!!!!!! whaaaaaaaa'?

[ambientdiscord]

lawl 70s porn music is the political style!

[MooseOfReason]

So, you mention Fred, who dropped out, but you don't mention Ron Paul, who's beaten Giuliani in every primary/caucus except for New Hampshire. Nice and biased... I mean balanced.

[puretroubleman]

Yes because your not biased towards ron paul at all.

[aminp]

Thanks for the show of love to ron paul a hole

[FullRaidersAlchemist]

Romney is the one to put in charge. The GOP will lose with McCain, running on the war.

Romney is a billionaire with mooney to return in four years and run again, stalking the Democrat elect and running as a shadow President with the benefit of hindsight.

His many flip-flops will be forgotten, he's plasubily able to distance from the fundies and still pass their Judicial litmus tests.

Please let McCain run, he's a horrible candidate and has a voting record to run from.

[holeymaniack]

"Mitt Romney is the most qualified person to be president of the United States Of America" -holeymaniack

[captaincracklins]

McCain beats Romney in Florida. McCain gets the Republican Nomination. McCain handily beats Clinton in the national election. Then all thinking people everywhere start cutting themselves to ease the pain.

[JobDDT]

God help us if John McCain is elected president.

[deadlaughter2]

Hi Josh Marshall.

I hate to disagree with you but the "big story right now" and has been for a while is the how ALL candidates refuse to address REAL isssues and are really servants of the REAL powers of the world (eg. IMF, World bank, Multi-National corps).

If you don't know this already, you are excused and I kindly suggest you educate yourself. If you do know, you are disgusting lying propagandist and kindlt go away.

Regards,

DIG

[GooseTarget]

Of course, Ron Paul won't win, but garnering 10% of the vote makes him significant enough to discuss his impact in such a tight field.

[fishhead06]

"Ron Paul will be there too." - LOL!!!!!

[checked08]

oh lord, I laughed so hard

[Cypress77]

yay RP lol

[Matty2Tone]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who is tired of these insipid Paultards.

[mvertigo16]

"Paultards", I love it.

[fishhead06]

Please, please, let it be Willard! Willard FTW! The Dem candidate will bury him like a kitty buries its poop.

[AmericanWayne]

Why mention Ron Paul if you aren't going to say anything of substance about him? You think the Ron Paul supporters are appeased just because you mention his name? Why not try some real reporting on him instead of following the MSM?

[yaboyy07]

damn straight, this guy blows

[fishhead06]

He was making a joke.

[Matty2Tone]

He only mentioned him as a joke, which is funny because that's exactly what Paul's candidacy is.

[roullettechick]

does anyone find it crazy how fn white john mccain is? I think he probably died 20 years ago,lol. The dead guys winning

[NearNothing]

Your green screen isn't as green as it usually is. It's getting closer to aqua. Turn on the lights!

[mikheii]

way to avoid Ron Paul. He gets second in Nevada AND Louisiana, and Guiliani has yet to place above 4th place.

[intarwebzz]

he mentioned ron paul, you didn't watch the whole thing if you missed it.

[roullettechick]

Yeah, he just said hed be there and showed the dumbest micey picture of him for a hot second. He didnt mention him winning the LA caucus or raising over 1.5 mil in another single day. Josh is obviously for the dems anyway:(

[yaboyy07]

all he aid was ron paul nothing else,  how lame

[mikey2600]

I'm an avid follower of Josh Marshall and TPM Media's work -- it's fairly high quality and unique stuff. However, I'd love to see more real analysis of Ron Paul's position and influences in the Florida primaries. IMHO Fred Thompson was mentioned a bit too much for someone not even in the race anymore.

Who is voting for Ron Paul in Florida? Who would those voting for Paul vote for if Paul was not in the race?

[gsadler82]

I'd vote for RP but I'm a registered Dem and it's a closed primary, so I'm probably voting for Obama or Kucinich(sp).

[intarwebzz]

edwards!

[gsadler82]

i haven't ruled him out either. definitely not hitlery.

[BforBryan]

the ron paul part was the best:P

[Gilliatt83]

yes you said Dr.Paul and thats it. you said nothing... why?

[fishhead06]

He was cracking a joke - The polling numbers show that Ron Paul's not going to win the primary in any state, so why focus on him?

[Gilliatt83]

why not? even so by doing that he just like the media bias. Polls! I would love to know how they get this numbers anyway???

Dr. Paul 2nd in nevada think about it?

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

Thanks again for a clear un-bias update.

[akfak0retlaw]

Ron Paul?

[VelocityTheory]

ron paul is a joke. all that money he raised down the drain

lolz

[lewti27]

Why even mention Rudy. He is not winning in any state and gets mentioned. Rudy is behind in New York. You are like the media, i had some respect for your views, but i now see that you can be biased.

[intarwebzz]

imho the problem stems from the media wanting to be perceived as serious, so they chase the stories that the rest of the media chases. it's a pity josh and tpm do, given that we don't need a 5th media company to follow the other four... but tpm has pretty good insight and entertaining coverage so it's not all bad.

[MyVideoFolder]

So Mr. Obama wants to do things differently. Sure. He jeopardized himself when he used personal slurs recently.

Quite a departure from promises given in his Iowa victory speech.

I was supportive of Mr. Obama - but I am now undecided. I will wait to see who is consistant like Mr. McCain is.

If I were an American citizen, either Hillary Clinton or John McCain would be my choices to vote for in the November Presidential election. TY for reading this comment

[mikie1973]

rudy is such a joke

[factorywolf]

josh next time dont insult us RON Paul people just dont i started out actually liking this channel i really did but am seeing more and more of who you are really going for sad little men you people are

[Ender1zero1]

Sad that you have to mention RP just so you don't get flooded with Paulbots.

[timg455]

And yet he mentions people like Guilliani who is getting beat by Ron Paul in every state.

[Ender1zero1]

Of course he mentions Gulliani when he is talking about Florida, duh.

[oldbaldy129]

Great update. Veracifier might be the best channel on YouTube!

[takotheoktopus]

American politics are so fucked up and confusing.
