When can we expect Monday's numbers?
Joe, with history as a guide somewhere around 3pm PDT.
Be interesting to see how MSNBC did. If they don't win this week they might never win. This is their party after all. Actually have the same feeling about the Presidential Election when it comes to the democrats…If they don't win this year……
Blame it on the caucus primary system, it allows the extremists to pick who wins the primary. It leaves out the average Joe who does not want the headache. MSNBC is a network for extremists, so they will lose also.
I think we found out last night why Obermann doesn't have conflicting views on his shows. He couldn't handle what Joe S was saying about the change in moods over the last couple of weeks in the campaign and Obermann lashed out at him when he thought his mike was dead. Go job Keith. Sad part about it…Joe S will probably be gone soon by not going Left Wing all the time…..
Prime: FNC: 3018 | CNN: 3700 | MSNBC: 2147 | HLN: 630
Yes Joe, MSNBC lost.
