Scarborough's take on Palin

I saw this live (yes I watch morning joe for ~30min or so before I leave the house) but just got around to finding it online to read again.
I have to feel the more centrist republicans feel this way as well, but as they put it, no one wants to piss off her 20% of the vote (i.e. Romney dancing Palin questions on Leno)

Opinion: Joe Scarborough tells GOP to man up and confront Sarah Palin - Joe Scarborough - POLITICO.com

Of course Palin is making statements like that, she's "Going Rogue".

Morning Joe is the only political talk show I watch.

Joe brings on guests from both sides, not like some other opiniated one way shows.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Joe was one of those unbiased reporters that donated to the fringe left.

Buckman: Fringe left? You do know Scarborough was a Republican Rep for 7 years, right?

from Politico:

"Scarborough gave at least five $500 contributions while serving as an MSNBC host — all to Republican candidates to whom he was close who were running for state legislative seats in or near Scarborough’s hometown of Pensacola, Fla. After being contacted by POLITICO about the donations, Scarborough voluntarily disclosed three other $500 contributions to a friend running for county office in Florida.

Woops...my bad. I just assumed and we all know what that makes me. Puts me in the same class of people who make assumptions about Fox.

Thats fine BM. When someone (one of the main hosts) from Fox, leans left, I'll man up and admit to my 'assumptions'.

Besides, some of the members here think Scarborough is a RINO anyways

I actually kinda like Joe. Though I think (and hope) the R party can do better than Joe or Sarah.
