Ed Schultz: From Panic to Incoherence Over Wisconsin Recall

Notice how Schultz is sounding pretty combative at the video clip from his MSNBC broadcast last night. That's an obvious attempt to rally the troops for a final push to victory. Remember, the polls have looked bad for the unions for some time. And in fact, a number of outlets have been downplaying expectations on the left. For example, here's the headline for AP's report at the Washington Post: "Nothing to see here: Wisconsin recall will provide few hard clues on who wins the White House." That's a genuine headline, not a joke. And Will Oremus piles on the stupid at Slate: "What the Wisconsin Recall Tells Us About November: Nothing."

Now check NewsBusters, which plots how Schultz himself has come around to the combative tone in just the last couple of days. See, "Ed Schultz Lurches From Panic to Incoherence Over Wisconsin Recall."
