GOP Debate scheduled to run AFTER Obama speech.
@mlcalderone

Michael Calderone
John Harris tells me NBC/Politico's GOP presidential debate will be after Obama is done.

1. A clear violation of the Olbermann Rule.
Whenever possible, do not speak AFTER Barack Obama.

4. So they'll all spend their debate time attacking what Obama said in his speech
Whatever he says.

Whatever will the talking heads do??? How can they spend hours telling us their versions of what the President said when they'll have to be watching the debate in order to tell us their versions of what the debaters said? Such a dilemma!

Heh.

6. It's gonna be a juicy night for the talking heads- it's a double header!
Talk about a BIG political news night. Rachel Maddow and Tweetie will be gleeful with two big events in one night! Better stock up on popcorn- it's gonna be a fun (and long) night!

8. how's that going to work? President is speaking before both Houses of Congress
I guess the Congress critters who are in the debate will just have to skip it or hoof it.
