CBS’s Schieffer Denies Vote a Referendum on Obama, Compares Conservatives to McGovern
Shortly before the polls closed, CBS’s chief Washington correspondent, Bob Schieffer, rejected any effort to tie President Barack Obama to two the Democratic gubernatorial candidates for whom Obama campaigned, insisting on Tuesday’s CBS Evening News that the contests were more about local issues and so “I don’t think they had much to do with anything but New Jersey and Virginia.”
Schieffer might as well be a spokesperson for the Democrats with his biased analysis
Citing the special congressional race in New York, Schieffer rued “this third-party conservative who literally pushed a moderate Republican out of the race,” and proceeded to analogize Republicans this year to leftist activists who in 1972 pushed Democrats to pick an un-electable presidential candidate:
The Republican Party is really split and it is the conservatives who seem to have the juice right now. It’s very much like what Democrats went through in 1972.
The party activists on the left were so upset with mainstream candidates that in an effort to purify their party they pushed it so far to the left that they nominated the very liberal George McGovern for President. Now it’s conservative Republicans who are upset with their mainstream candidates. They want to push the party to the right.

I am so glad that Virginia governor, lt governor and attorney general won the elections for the Republicans. Maybe between New Jersey and Virginia they can get some honesty going in the government.
If ol' Bob thinks there is no connection between the lousy conditions on the state level and the policies being rammed down everyone's throat from Washington…well, I think it's time you and the rest of the Main Sleaze Media get your heads out of Obama's ass and take a look around.
This a good sign of AMERICA Waking up thanks to the Tea Parties in August and confirmed and accurate info reported to all to decide. These narrow minded idiots just don't get it! Pelosi ought to go hang herself.
In Closing:
Lets cut the crap and garbage and lets move on with "WHERE IS THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE" What is a matter? No guts? This issue better get a move on or we Republicans are gong to be eating from horse
stall!
All this nonsense byt th media with the history of Lincoln and all past elections going over and grand standing with these Arm Chair Statistical Analyst and their garbage is dong nothing but confusing the public. Last night. New Jersey and Virginia won to Republicans and that is it! Electon over!
Schieffer like so many of the major media folk are truly out of touch or they are afraid of printing what they know. For Schieffer and his co-horts to argue that the conservatives are out of the mainstream and therefore loosers may serve their interests but not the interests of over 40% of Americans who now say they are conservative based on recent polls. Bob needs to get out of his office and go talk with the rank and file folk and get educated.
