JOE SCARBOROUGH: 'If I'm Betting, I'm Betting On The President'

MSNBC's Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough joined the ranks of political forecasters projecting an Obama victory, telling his political panel Monday that he is "betting on the president" to win tomorrow's election.

Pointing to a series of polls that show the race in a dead heat, Scarborough noted that the close contest favors the incumbent.
"I've got to say right now, as a practicing politician of 20 years, If I'm betting, I'm betting on the president," he said. "Every poll has lined up for the president."

But he added one caveat that is worth remembering as the conventional wisdom continues to predict an Obama victory:

"If you think about 1980, where every elite in Manhattan and Washington was sure Jimmy Carter was going to win — I don't care what they say now," he warned. "Nobody saw the Reagan Revolution nobody saw it coming."

I know that Nobody Gives a Shit What Joe Scab says.... so please limit the comments pointing that out.

Reason for posting is to give everybody a chance to enjoy the slow procession of all The Romney Surrogates throwing their Guy under the bus because they know he is going to lose...

1. Thanks for posting this!

I was on pins and needles wondering what this 2nd tier douchebag pundit thought on the matter.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Pat Caddell and Hamilton Jordan saw it coming

They told Carter the night before the election it was going to be a blowout. I don't think that's what Axelrod and Plouffe are seeing, Joe.

[Stuckinthebush]

3. That "no one saw the Reagan revolution" line is garbage

Many people saw it coming. They say that to make themselves feel better.

4. I just caught 5 minutes of Joe Scam this am, but it was early and he was still cheerleading

he and Mark(Dick) Halperin were talking about how enthusiastic the Robme crowds were this week-end and how incredibly large (huge) they were. They said there 6k people at one rally. True enough, but the 24k that turned out for the 2 Presidents only drew a toss-off of the Obama crowd was enthusiastic too. Hmmm, let me see, 6k or 25k, which is higher?

17. Thanks namaste2...

for posting; I heard them & had those same thoughts.

[BouzoukiKing]

5. Reagan's blowout had reasons.

Probably the most important of them was that the Dems were complacent.

It seems clear we learned something from that.

[BlueStateBlue]

10. Not to mention that Bush was the running mate

When the Bush crime family is that closely involved, strange things happen. Funny how that works.

[Monk06]

23. The reason Reagan won is that he made a deal with the Iranians. "We'll sell you weapons if you hold"

onto the hostages until after the election." Everything associated with the Reagan years is a fraud and a lie.

[GoLeft TV]

6. of course...

he only comes out and says this after he made himself look like a bumpkin ass with Nate Silver.

[VWolf]

7. Now that the networks

have milked the "horserace" for all its worth, the pundits can begin to tell the truth.

[hrmjustin]

8. Scarborough Know which way the wind is blowing.

[nolabear]

9. Nate's somewhere doing the neener dance.

Me? I'm just

[NoOtherMedicineNovel]

18. Nate's dancin' and Joe's fertilizing his upper lip

so we can watch his virgin beard grow.

[Ash_F]

11. That's right. The President. /nt

[BumRushDaShow]

12. And no one saw the Obama Revolution either

A black man. Elected to the White House? That in and of itself blows away anything this nation has ever done. Raygun was just a fluke.

[coalition_unwilling]

13. That is pure drivel that no one saw the Reagan landslide coming. Absolute

garbage. I remembered agonizing over whether to vote for Carter or vote for John Anderson, precisely because Carter had already been written off before election day.

I ended up voting for Carter, in my first Pres eleciton, and have voted Dem ever since.

[yardwork]

14. Nobody thought that Carter would win in 1980 this close to the election. Not even close.

[Major Hogwash]

15. Joe should move his show to Faux. It's a better fit for his style of bullcrappery.

Hannity Insanity had Karl Rove on his program last night and they were both thinking that Romney would win in a close election.
But, then Hannity had Gingrich come on later so he could say that he thought that Romney would win early in the evening, that it wasn't even going to be that close.

Then Sister Sarah came on, and she said that she wouldn't predict who would win the election.
And I thought, well, of course not, don't go out on a limb now and look like an idiot on Wednesday, Sister Sarah.
Besides, you already did that 4 years ago when you said McCain would be the next president.

How'd that work out for you?

"Obama pals around with terrorists."
What a loon!!

[harun]

19. "bullcrappery", now that's a great word

[cthulu2016]

16. Liar. Not one person in the world expected Cater to win

[tabasco]

20. All of the corporate media whores

will be scrambling to salvage a shred of credibility.

As expected.

[kworkman]

21. Crazy Joe Scarborough

Thank you for allowing me to say, Nobody gives a shit what Crazy Joe Scarborough thinks.

[yellowcanine]

22. Not true about 1980. Most people thought Carter might lose. Not by that much, true.

I was there, I remember.
