Petty. Uses an obscure argument between conservatives to claim broader problems within the GOP. Source is liberal -- why not go to conservatives for comment?

It is a friendly interview with a Democratic partisan. No deep issues or insights. Perhaps a bit of overconfident gloating.

The report starts off clear with an analysis and sourced report.

Also in the opinion interview a couple of things stand out. * Yes the GOP has only 20% identifying themselves but voting intentions are far greater. Actual races - ... More »

Olbermann regularly shows his political bias.
