It's not just MSNBC that Olbermann is hurting (I quit watching after 12 yrs because of him). He is going to hurt the Obama campaign. Watch and see - he thinks his comments will change people's minds, but he cannot change how people think. All he (and MSNBC) will do is encourage the Bradley effect because people will, at best, try to act in more socially desirable ways, not change the way they vote. Think it through. I am actually an Obama supporter but am thinking twice because of Olbermann. I want to see Olbermann and co.'s reaction when Obama loses. Then I want them to know it is probably their fault. Why the heck was Obama in an interview with Olbermann tonight? what a mistake.
