Bloomberg Conventional Wisdom

A few hysterical pieces of analysis from the Bloomberg election night coverage.

I love the brilliant analysis that whoever gets the better turnout will win. You think?

John Sununu on Bloomberg calls Mitch McConnell a policy wonk. I'm surprised Sununu's nose didn't grow longer than Pinocchio.

Mark Halperin is really turning on the charisma right now. Chuck Todd watch out.

Quote of the Day

"My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people -- not all of them, but most of them -- who are still basing their positions on race. Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable."

Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff.

Wilkerson was responding to John Sununu's statement that Powell only endorsed President Obama because he is black.

John Sununu on the Attorney General

Senator John Sununu is first Republican to call for Alberto Gonzales's to be terminated.

“The President should fire the Attorney General and replace him as soon as possible with someone who can provide strong, aggressive leadership prosecuting the war on terrorism, running the Department of Justice, and working with the President and Congress on important homeland security matters,” Sununu said in a statement.

It appears that vote of confidence from the President Bush is not helping.
