Listen. Oy. Via TPM.
And I called "beer' first.
Todd: Mike Murphy, Peggy Noonan. Lots of free advice.We'll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching (ed note- better hope not). Lots of free advice.
blather, cross talk over CT
Murphy: Um, you know, because, I come out of the blue swing state governor world. Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, this is all how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it's not gonna work.
Noonan: It's Over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.
Todd: Don’t you think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Baily Hutchinson?
Noonan: I saw Kay this morning...
Todd: She's never looked comfortable about..
Murphy: They're all bummed out.
Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives...[couldn't hear the end of it]
Todd: Yeah, but what's a narrative?
Murphy: I totally agree.
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.
Murphy: You know what's the worst thing about it, the greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and..
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.
Thanks to FleetAdmiralJ for transcribing it before I could. And mad props to Clancy for more revisions.
