NBC’s Gregory: Obama to Claim ‘Warlord-ism’ in GOP, O’Donnell
It’s one thing to acknowledge that most voters in a liberal-leaning state like Delaware may be reluctant to vote for a solid conservative, but, as he appeared on Sunday’s Today show on NBC, Meet the Press host David Gregory claimed that Delaware GOP Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell’s "extremist statements and some views" would not only be a "real problem" in Delaware, but "it would be the case…

On Today: Is The Tea Party Hurting The GOP
It's quite possible NBC's Meredith Vieira has never shown more concern about the Republican Party's ability to win elections than she did on Thursday's Today show, of course that may be because conservative Tea Party candidates are now forcing out the more moderate members of its ranks.

New NBC Show Turns Conservative Hypocrite Into Liberal Hero -- But Eve
NBC tonight (10 PM EDT/PDT, 9 PM CDT) debuts a new drama, Outlaw, centered on a conservative Supreme Court justice who, as a gambler and a philander, is a hypocrite played by Jimmy Smits.
