Rachael Maddow just bitch slapped Chris Mathews!!

[MadMaddie]

Oooh it was yummy!

Chris Mathews said 35% of the voters rejected Hillary and Rachael said

Dammit...I stand corrected...Approximately 2/3rds rejected whomever the top candidate was.

Oh....it was good.:popcorn: :rofl:

It still was yummy though!

Thanks to everyone for the correction!!

[DireStrike]

1. Wait what?

It's looking like 35/30/30 ATM for the dems, where are these 35% that rejected the top 3?

[MadMaddie]

6. Mathews was trying to make the point the Hillary out right lost

Rachael was saying that with the numbers as close as they are he couldn't call it total rejection of Hillary!

He was trying to take the statistic and show it in a negative light when in fact it's really neither negative or positive.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. they were both right. hillary blew it, AND 35% rejected the top persons.

[DireStrike]

12. Right, I see that

She seems to have misspoken in a rather large way though. Oh well.

[MadMaddie]

19. Sigh...I corrected it....

[DireStrike]

21. Oh, ok, sorry!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

7. Approximately 2/3rds rejected whomever the top candidate was...

no matter how you slice it.

[DireStrike]

10. Yeah that's true, that's a different statement tho. =p

[WorseBeforeBetter]

16. Rachel made the 2/3rds comment.

It's hard to concentrate with Tweety yammering on, but Rachel shut him down for a brief... second.

2. Chris has been snorting Fred Thompson's English Leather for too long.

[MadMaddie]

8. ewww Fred Thompsons skin...

:puke:

[Stinky The Clown]

3. A thing of beauty

She needs to get Tweety's air slot.

[Ichingcarpenter]

4. she said almost 2/3 of the voters rejected whoever won.

She is so damn smart and made an important point for all of DU to listen to.

[MadMaddie]

9. She is one smart cookie...and Chris Mathews kept trying to

push the point....and she slapped him down....mmm...I will savor that for a while.

[DireStrike]

15. Wait wait wait

"35% of the voters rejected the top 3 candidates" (What OP said she said)

"almost 2/3 of the voters rejected whoever won" (your paraphrase)

These are vastly different statements, aren't they?!


The first means that 35% of the voters rejected Obama, Hillary, and Edwards.

The second means that Each of the top 3 got about 1/3 of the vote.

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. The OP did it on the fly .....mine is more accurate.

Right now you could say 60% rejected Obama or 67% rejected Hillary or Edwards

It is a three way race more or less.

5. EVIL MONKEY SAYS

FOOL

[intheflow]

14. ..

:spray:

[jazzjunkysue]

13. After all, which one has a set, and a spine?

The Maddow That Is Rachel.

All stand.

[Raffi Ella]

17. yah

I laughed outloud!We've been saying all night what a brillaint speaker she is and then BAM!She slaps Chris with that beauty!And she is so quick with these concise unequivocal points she makes!Ha,I love her!!

[gratuitous]

18. Tweety was also gushing on McCain

Saying that 18% would represent a near-heroic accomplishment for McCain. Oddly, in Tweety's world, that didn't translate to his being rejected by four-fifths of Republicans. Truly a :wtf: moment.
