I'm confused why people are so worried about the coordination angle. I mean, of course these guys are coordinating with each other. Why make a big deal denying it?

What's funny is that McCain is so prickly on the subject. If he'd just shut up about it, he'd pretty much win the Commander in Chief portion of the contest.

I sent too quickly. Kudos on the Morning Roundup feature. This would be a good thing to do on the weekends as well.

To borrow from Bill Clinton, Castellanos is a scum bag, and he's working hard to find something to reverse the trend. I don't know why anyone would put him on tv, let alone repeat his stupid comments.

I like that phrasing Cindy McCain as a human shield. That would be the perfect way for Obama to put it!

This is a stirring piece Deanie. I hope it will stay on the Recommended List for several days as it deserves a wide audience. I encourage you to send a copy to your local paper and see if they will print it in full. You might also send it to NPR. We need more people to read essays as smart and moving as this one is.

Yup, I noticed that adverb too. Team Obama seems so well-organized; it is hard to imagine them doing anything "hastily" -- other than finding where ESPN is on the hotel television set.

Olbermann is fun to watch when you agree with him, but his show is more entertainment than serious discussion. Matthews needs a lot of straw men to look smart, and he constantly interrupts. He'd have politicians on the ropes and then give them 20 seconds to catch their breaths while he answers his own question. I know Gregory was the WH reporter, be he just seems like a lightweight to me.

I'm interested in Mitchell. She's earned the mantle of respectability. Chuck Todd is a fascinating choice. He's become the break out star of the primary. (One wonders if this could be another case of an older, more experienced woman being trumped by a younger, newcome man.)

Thinking outside the box, I'm going to suggest Gwen Ifill. She interviews well, has lots of gravitas, and she would be a major change.

Yeah, that's what I said. You've done a good job paraphrasing my argument.
