O'Reilly won't say Olbermann's name

I watched the segment on The O'Reilly Factor and did find it weird not that Bill O'Reilly wouldn't say Keith Olbermann's name (I'm pretty sure he hasn't said it on his program for several years), but that Bernie Goldberg complied and wouldn't say his name either.

Rising: Tim Pawlenty, Mike Huckabee, Mitch Daniels
Falling: Sarah Palin, Haley Barbour, Jeb Bush (10)

Sarah Palin has taken a hit in the aftermath of the Tucson shooting. She was at 19% last month.

Tim Pawlenty is pacing himself nicely, about what Huckabee was doing in 2007.

There are seem to be many Republicans who are positioning themselves for 2016, assuming the GOP nominee loses in 2012. They include Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Jon Huntsman, Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry.

A recent Iowa caucus poll had their top five as:

Mike Huckabee - 24%
Mitt Romney - 19%
Sarah Palin - 11%
Newt Gingrich - 8%
Tim Pawlenty - 4%

Obama's Speech

I loved it. Even if he couldn't nail all the emotional moments, he got most of them, and it was a very well-written speech. Loved all the point it made, loved it basically closing the chapter on all the name-calling and vitriol that's been flying around since the shooting. The President is President of the whole country, not just the states that voted for him, and that's how he acted.

I do wish the college kids there could've been a little more sober and treated less like a "pep rally" but there it is.

Let's not forget 9-year-old Christina Greene. My own daughter would've been 10 right now. I feel for her parents.

Rush feels differently, to the point I don't think he should call himself conservative anymore. There needs to be a new name for whatever he's become. Reactionary? Ultrapartisan?

Gabrielle Giffords shot, surviving

a 22-year-old gunman killed 6 people and wounded several others, including congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona.

Here's the flashback of her addressing the Sarah Palin crosshairs ad.
