While watching tonight's preview, take a listen to tonight's soundtrack. (Just be sure to allow the ad below to play out entirely, before starting the song.)
Executive producer Bill Wolff shares a preview of tonight's show:





I say looking at how Romney did these companies in, he never created any jobs and just left too many people out on the street with nothing. I’ve had my experiences with these types of people and it was misery for the workers with no job or stressed and struggling to keep your job and the company going. And in addition, made it barely sustainable for a company to survive. I wouldn’t believe a single word Romney says unless he shows outright proof of doing any good for anyone. And if he claims he got the Olympics going that would be false, because it was many people that made that happen and Romney did what flap his mouth a little bit which is really nothing and everybody else did the work.
I hope Axelrod will explain to viewers that the Obama campaign is not attacking Bain Capital per se,but how Romney's business experience translates to "fixing"the economy.It does'nt help that Booker and now Ed Rendell do not understand what the Pres.is saying.Or maybe they are paid Wall St spokesmen.Let me put the so called attacks on Bain Capital in perspective.Let's say a person get's a lot of investors to start a widget factory.The factory grows to be a large company.But the employees are paid mininum wage with no benefits. Fine. So the CEO decides to run for President on his business record.Is it fair to go after the CEO'S record of building the company on the backs of working people who were paid minimun wage with no benefits.Or would people like Booker, Rendell etal,whine and cry because the widget company was being attacked?Think about it.
Republican politicians and rich people talk so easily about entitlement benefits that help people survive. Have these politicians and rich people ever been ashamed of what they have caused and still looking to cause? If anything, why don’t you look at yourselves in the mirror if you want to see the real criminals and destroyers of America.
you, my dear, are ever SO correct
Rendell just said the election will come down to the three debates and the acceptance speeches at the conventions. Why? This election should NOT be close. The President should win hands down against Romney and his moneychangers. Pundits, like Rendell, just want it to seem close, I swear, just so they can get their consultant fees stretched out for the whole campaign or be asked for their opinions, or something. Rendell objected to one of the ad participants using the word "vampire"...too negative...thus, his concerns about the negative advertising and his piling on or tagging along with this group of attention-seeking Dems. Save us from such spokemen...they could ask any of the people who respond to this blog and get people who really know what's at stake in this election and why this President should be re-elected (and given majorities in both the House and Senate.)
Pretty important show and interview tonight, but will it be informative or spin?
Rachel, please take on Michael Steele's lies about Planned Parenthood. He is just foul, repeating the right's lies.
Dear Bill Wolf,
I don't know what your duties or who you over see, but i thought I'd tell you this as I think this is serious and not a good impression for your show.
I had written to Rachel, Laura Conaway, Will Ferina and one other over a dozen times. I had loved the MaddowBlog and read the disclaimer and it said that one could safely leave a comment and feel comfortable. I left a benign comment on a topic and I was jumped on by the MaddowBlog bully pigs-I'm sorry but they were a disgrace. I had a stroke and prior was always in gifted programs (easily would have found Maddow average compared to me) and so for me it's an embarrassment to not be a wiz and to to make spelling and grammar mistakes but I was learning to read and write again and I still have a hard time with memory and so I will not write perfect. I always let people know the situation and to please excuse the mistakes and just let me know if I'm not even writing clear enough to be understood and I will try again. I was bombarded and bullied for days by the pack-who I do consider rude pigs.
They also hacked my computer over 6 times and I've spent much to have it fixed each time. They even log in on my computer and I have the computer names and IP's and could easily file charges as that's a federal offense. I have recently had someone hack into my Facebook and would not be surprised if it was not the same group and am collected IP and other info each and every time.
The reason I am writing here, is because I find it disgusting that after so many emails about a serious problem which contradicts what the "Maddow Brand" pretends to be, that someone did not take care of it immediately and with a re-imbursement for IT services paid for. I'm reading that quite a few on your staff are proficient at hacking and have even run into others on the other blogs that were also victims. One gentleman is so mad at your "star" that he, like I was letting everyone know everywhere. Maddow may think she's invincible but after explaining what happened, even her fans were sympathetic.
It may or may not concern you but if my name was on a blog, I would have made sure someone took care of it. I've come to believe some things I've heard about Maddow which surely does not fit her TV portrayal. Quite the opposite-it seemed as if she herself might be one that finds this all funny. I do not. You can do what you like or as you will. But I am getting close to filing all the computers and IP addresses that have hacked me. I also took copies of the live blog talk where they were bragging about having done it.
Aside of making fun of a handicap and being a felony, I find this a disgrace for your show. I'm sure Maddow doesn't care if a few people don't like her as a person and will continue pushing her way up doing whatever it takes. I find it a disgrace an not fitting for her TV CHARACTER. I don't like charming sociopaths. You can now do what you want with this information. I know that there is a good possibility these hackers might even be involved with the staff. Disgusting!!
Sincerely,
Gigi Jacobs

your body may be by gigi---where is your MIND?
It's not Gigi's mind you should be concerned about, Elizabeth. Your comment reinforces her view that some maddow bloggers are not respectful. Worry about your own mind and the hurtful thoughts it lead you to write.
Thank you, Judy King. That response by Elizabeth was way out of line. I
am sick to death of the nastiness I've found here. I hope Gigi finds a safer
place. I have.
I suspect someone will jump on me with a DNFTT warning, but I have noticed that the tone and rhetoric has slid quite a bit on this blog. I don't feel as inclined to peruse it anymore. Once in a while, but definitely not as much as I used to. Even friendly disagreements have become disagreeable. Just not fun anymore.
taking into account romney's business experience, what did he do with companies overburdened with debt ? will he do the same with the economy
