The Sunday morning shows never had Nancy Pelosi on as speaker...that means we can assume

[Ken Burch]

They'll never have The Big Boehner on either, right....??????????????

1. It was Nancy's choice not to be on the TV Shows.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. yes, and possibly her biggest mistake

which left her open to charges of "elitism"

4. What the hell was she thinking?

n/t.

5. Mark Shields, PBS Contributor, Democrat ic Journalist and long

long timer covering Congress and WH. He explained this
once again about one month ago. He explained that Nancy
is the most effective Leader, but whe works best out of
the view of TV Lights. He explained that both she and
Reid are uncomfortable on TV.

I have noticed since they came back this time, there
are more Democrats popping up on TV shows. More articulate
memmber. For example, Miller of California has been on
defending Nancey and explaining the Democratic positions.
Does not back down and corrects misinterpretations on the
spot. Weiner, excellent. I have seen Marcy Kaptur more
than ever before. She is telegic and smart as can be.
She preferred a different speaker but she is a real Democrat.

I am hopeful that they have realized their mistake in not
having people on TV all year.

I hope Nancy will have some surrogates to cover the TV Programs.

She does better in longer interviews where she can really explain
things.

6. If Pelosi and Reid felt that way about being on tv, then, from the MOMENT they became the leaders

of their respective chambers, they should have assigned surrogates to be on those shows. They let that slide until it was too late to matter. If, say, Weiner and Grayson(or Franken in the Senate)had been assigned to be on those shows week after week, we could have kept control of the narrative and the debate.

To me, this was part of the addiction to deference and submission that OUR party's leaders appear to have. When Dems win a majority, these leaders seem to accept the 'pug meme that we had NO RIGHT to be in the majority, and immediately let the 'pugs seize control of the discussion(with the MSM's full cooperation).

Is there ANY chance our "leaders" will ever learn from their mistakes on this?

3. But McCain has been on Meet The Press 58 times

IMO this is one of the main factors why Democrats lost..They refuse to go on the talk shows and talk about what they want to do and what they are doing and what the Republicans are doing as well. Republicans on the other hand own the talk show circuit..

7. No your memory fails you. Don't you remember FauxNSunday?

When Chris Wallace asked her if she prayed for our troops?....to win??

How insulting. I wonder if he apologized to her. The third in line to the President.

[Ken Burch]

8. Faux doesn't DO apologies.

Other than saying that they're sorry "the liberal media" was attacking them.

9. Something is not right

I don't recall Nelson ever frowning when he said, "Ha Ha".

He was always pleased to have witnessed some calamity or failure.

Oh...
