Say, Isn't This Election Just Like A Great FOOTBALL GAME?! [KSK]
- Chris Matthews: Isn’t this election just like a great FOOTBALL GAME? I mean, like great knockdown, drag-out football game, where people are hitting each other really hard and really going at it? Don’t you think it’s just like a football game?
- Howard Fineman: Not really, no.
- Chris Matthews: I think it’s just like a football game, I really do. It reminds me of, you know, going to the stadium and seeing two teams just BATTLE back and forth. Only now we’re in OVERTIME! Isn’t it just like an OVER TIME FOOTBALL GAME?
- Howard Fineman: Again, no. Football is an athletic contest played on a field whose outcome is determined by some combination of physical skill and good luck. This is a presidential primary election, whose outcome hinges on grass roots organization and effective if sometimes duplicitous PR and ad campaigns. It’s, you know, totally different.
- Ed. Observation: How often does Kissing Suzy Kolber nail election coverage? It's sad how accurate this is. And hilarious.
