I really dislike armchair campaign quarterbacks but I must say..

If someone can't be actually in a studio for a show then either find someone else who can or do not send them. This being interviewed by feed or satellite or on video or whatever is for the birds. Nobody comes across good doing this.

The fact is that there is definitely some kind of delay, you can't get face to face reactions, and people just come across as confused, or not with it, and definitely not able to react and/or respond as quickly and as adeptly as the people right there in the studio. I have no doubt this is why places like Faux news prefer their dems to be interviewed in this format.

Today is the first time I saw this play to our advantage with Carville in the Today show studio and Tucker Eskew via feed. Tucker could not even respond to Carville's quips fast enough to look like anything other than the tool that he is.

I hate making this post because I really do think that by and large the campaigns and the talking heads know what they are doing and talking about and I'm just an idiot who doesn't know much. But I really had to get this off my chest because it bugs me.
