Dick Morris Reviews Vulnerable Midterm Dems; Says Obama Just Beginning to Lose His Voters - Video

Here is video of Dick Morris reviewing with Sean Hannity just how vulnerable many Democrats are to defeat this November in the midterm elections.

Morris believes the GOP will likely take back both the Senate and the House. He said the Senate could go Republican by two or three seats. The GOP will have to net 10 seats to take the Senate back.

Morris believes Obama is just at the beginning of losing his voters. He believes that will continue through the year as we head to the November midterm election.

Brit Hume Talks with O'Reilly about Media Bias Against the Tea Party Movement and Sarah Palin - Video

Here is video of Brit Hume talking with Bill O'Reilly tonight about the bias of the Mainstream Media against both Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Movement.

O'Reilly had pointed out that the coverage of the Tea Party Movement has been overwhelmingly negative, with only two positive stories found. Hume said there is no doubt that there is a "cultural divide" between the Mainstream Media and those in the Tea Party Movement. O'Reilly also referenced Fox News' Bill Sammon's statement that most of the media dislike Palin and the Tea Party Movement.

Brit Hume said he thought Palin did very well in her interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.

Rush Limbaugh Warns GOP Lawmakers to be "Very, Very Careful" at Meeting with Obama - Video 2/8/10

Here is video of Rush Limbaugh today warning Republicans to be "very, very careful" about meeting with President Obama at his invitation on restarting Heath Care Reform negotiations.

Rush warned that it appears Obama is trying to put all the responsibility on the GOP, as if it is up to them to do something about passing Health Care legislation.

Rush said the GOP lawmakers need to not be afraid to continue to say "No" to Government Health Care, because that is what the American people want them to say.

Ed Rollins Says there are "No RINOS" Left in the Republican Party - Video

Here is video of GOP Strategist Ed Rollins saying that there really are "no RINOS" (Republicans in Name Only) left in the Republican Party. He made the remark after John Avlon of "The Daily Beast" said that the Tea Party Movement is determined to run "RINOS" out of the Republican Party.

I'm not sure many conservative Republicans would agree with that statement!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Here is video of the MSNBC Morning Joe Crew collectively making fun of and hating on Gov. Sarah Palin today. It is a sight to behold how truly mean and petty a group of "professionals" can be toward a person they do not like.

From Joe Scarborough saying she just does not express herself like a top-tier Presidential Candidate, to Andrea Mitchell making fun of some notes she had written on her hand, to Chuck Todd calling her a quitter in a sarcastic tone of voice, it was total pile-on.

For someone they believe is a lightweight and incapable of becoming President, they sure do focus their attacks on her a great deal.

Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha, the first veteran of the Vietnam war and one of the most powerful lawmakers in Congress, died Wednesday morning at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA, after complications from gallbladder surgery. Murtha was 77.

A native of New Martinsville, W.Va., voters elected first elected Murtha to Congress in a 1974 special election that spelled impending doom for President Nixon and congressional Republicans. That fall, Democrats wrestled away 49 House seats from the GOP, reeling from the scourge of Watergate and a presidency in shambles. . . . . MORE
