Please - Olbermann is 1000x the candidate O'Donnell was.
Olbermann would make a great addition to the Senate - immediately would be one of the best.

Given the liberal-leaning NE, his election would not surprise me. Unfortuantely for the rest of us, he would immediately displace Pelosi as the most liberal punk in the Congress.

TTBF: So you're saying Ike was a bad president merely because he was a "celebrity" before his election? Whose definition determines who is or is not a celebrity?

Re: Olbermann to run for Senate in CT?
I'm saying that I don't like celebrity politicians. Even when they turn out to do a pretty good job. As an idea, I'm opposed to it. There have been occasional celebrities that have made passable politicians (Franken has surprised me with his ability to roll up his sleeves and just work) - but for the most part it's a damned disaster show.SuperHornet wrote:TTBF: So you're saying Ike was a bad president merely because he was a "celebrity" before his election?

In a country where Al Franken is in the Senate (with the help of ACORN) and an unqualified D student with plenty of radical friends to easilly be on an FBI watch list is President....nothing would surprise me
