Remember this?

Now whatsay the Netroots?

Barack Obama is going where his campaign has never gone before: Fox News, where he'll be interviewed by Chris Wallace this weekend on Fox News Sunday.

For the record, I support the boycott of Fox News. I think Hillary Clinton was placed in a terrible position because of the extreme bias of NBC and the unwillingness of the Left blogs to criticize the anti-Hillary bias in the Media.

I also understand why Obama is dissing the Netroots now. They will never criticize him anyway. Why should he pander to them then?

    ...in places like Utah and Alaska and Idaho and Nebraska and Montana etc are probably glad to see it!

    Off topic a little but still related:

    Is is possible that these Rocky Mtn states that return GOP electoral college points are full of a small band of extremely out of touch lefties? Do Idaho GOP and Dems know what a winning Dem even looks like?  Also are these caucus goers THE caracatures that conservatives think represent liberals from NY or Democrats in general?

    Is is possible that their current binary identity as GOP stalwart states for the General Election and Obama supporters in the primary mean that a gimpily leftist Democratic Party has grown up in the GOP basement?  

    In California and NY the GOP adapted to the culture there and became very formidable at teh state level, but I think (based on the Caucuses) that something as gone wrong with the remnant of Dems that have stuck it out in the deeply Red Rocky Mountain states.

    Are the local GOP voters and swing voters reacting to their home grown Dems and projecting what they see of their sorry state onto the Democratic party that exists in Penn or Cal or NY?

    Colorado has a Dem Governor.  Wyoming has a Dem Governor.  Montana has a Dem Governor.  Oklahoma, Kansas, and so forth...

    So clearly someone knows something about getting Democrats elected!  It's just that their brand of Democratic politics tends to look a little different from the national brand.

    of course.

    It's not been like that until VERY recently.  

    The main thrust is that what was the local Dem party like during the 1990s and early 2000s?

    I wonder if the chatter about San Fan and Greenwich village is really about enclaves of Dems in the local Party and not actually about the San Franciscans or Manhattanites.

    A projection if you will.

    And to say that a Democrat can't carry this state in the GE is downright silly.

    the last 20 years.  Recently the Dems have made breakthroughs at the state level as the GOP fortunes have sunk--that's certainly true.

    But The Senate and House tend to be all locked up excluding a couple of interesting anomolies like Talent.

    I doubt well be winning these states for the presidency though.

    So It links into Fox to some extent, not too far off topic.

    has a Dem gov, Brian Schweitzer and Max Baucus has been our Dem senator since 1978; both will be easily re-elected next fall. Our brand new Dem Senator Jon Tester beat Senator Conrad Burns in 2004. Rehberg, our Republican congressman since 2001, will unfortunately also be easily relected. Our state legislature is almost always evenly split--right now Dems have a one-seat majority in the Senate and Repubs have a one-seat majority in the House. Only one Republican holds a major state office, all the rest are Dems. We actually have been more Democratic than not throughout history--just went through a bad patch from 1988-2004.

    Montana used to be a swing state, voted for Clinton in 1992, but swung Repub for 96, 00, and 04. Second Amendment rights, conservation, and respect for state's rights are big issues for most here, but I really think Montanans just like their governments split, both state and federal, with the idea that balance is best.

    Obama is the candidate who is supposed to unite us - blue, red, black, white, whatever.  Appearing on Fox and making nice with his enemies - as Hillary has done countless times, most recently on KO's show - would show that he can walk the talk.  

    Anyway, judging by what I've seen of the coverage of this election, Fox no longer holds the title as the most biased news network.  MSNBC and CNN are generally just as bad if not worse.

    because he appeared in April and again in September as I recall.

    An interview with Senator Barack Obama taped this afternoon aired on FNC's "Special Report with Brit Hume" tonight. Obama discussed McCain's newly announced position on the war:

        I don't doubt John McCain's sincerity on this issue, but I doubt his wisdom on it. The fact is I'm somebody who opposed the war when it was unpopular to do so.

    UPDATE: The Obama interview occurred with a group of reporters asking questions, one of whom was from FNC.

    UPDATE2: The above update is incorrect and I got duped. Greg Sargent has the full details. So I again reiterate the question; why did Obama back out of FNC's debate and make a statement about FNC's coverage and then less than a week later do an interview on FNC?

    I wonder why.  Is it: Wright's words are so inflammatory that the stations are refusing to air them (haha, yet folks think that the rest of America will have no problem with Obama's association with this "spiritual leader.")  Or is because the stations think it's "wrong" somehow?  

    I'd be really curious to know the reasoning behind refusing to air the ads--is it content or is it political?  Or is there a difference at this point?  This sort of censorship makes me very uncomfortable, because it can go both ways.  It might help Obama now, but who will it hurt later?

    it would mean that Markos and DailyKos is flawed in supporting him.  When Hillary went on FoxNew, they beat her up and called her a sell-out and a Republican.

    The hypocrisy keeps on going...

    Obama consistently does what he says he would never do; why is anyone surprised.  It was just a matter of time til he went on Fox.

    No doubt they'll be asking him about the Bill Moyers interview of Rev. Wright, scheduled for Friday night.  MSNBC is showing a snippet right now.

    they just showed a few seconds.  Knowing Moyers (whom I admire immensely) it'll be a sympathetic interview, but it'll be like preaching to the choir. Moyers' viewers are the ultimate latte-drinkers (I guess I'd be included in that category, even though I'm a Clinton supporter).

    My guess is that there will be at least a few unfortunate soundbytes from the interview that will keep the Wright story going, which is not a good thing for Obama.

    No Quarter has a post up about the interview.

    Moyers and latte drinkers (none / 0) (#72)

    I don't drink latte. I don't drink wine. I'm not a rich Californian or New Yorker. I too like Moyers. I think your stereotype is a bit off base here.

    I was being facetious.  I actually don't drink latte or wine either, although I am guilty of being a New Yorker.

    But it certainly is a stereotype of the typical PBS viewer.

    Even after Obama threw Grandma, Rev Wright, and the people who live in small towns under the campaign bus, he left plenty of room under there for his netroots faithful. Its going to be a bumpy ride to Denver!

    I think this is great news.
    If you want to be President you have to be for ALL Americans - even conservative Fox viewers.

    wasn't he the guy that sandbagged the big dog on abc's phony "path to 9/11" garbage?  obama had better not be complacent.  i'm sure wallace the baby faced would-be assassin has a nasty question or two lined up for the senator.

    reading that post.

    There was still a trace of sanity in that post although even by that time I felt he was really full of himself.
