What will Fox News do when President Obama is gone? Probably top the cable news ratings as it usually does. “The Five’s” Andrea Tantaros knows that when it comes to Fox News’ success, President Obama didn’t build that.

No we can’t! No we can’t!
President Obama is no fundraising slouch, but people who donated $200 or more in 2008 just aren’t that into his reelection campaign.
88% of Obama’s 2008 over-$200 donors are AWOL in 2012. http://t.co/BVsULGK3 #TCOT #RS

Via RedState:
This is one of the more amusing factoids that you’re going to read this morning: “According to a BuzzFeed analysis of campaign finance data, 88% of the people who gave $200 or more in 2008 — 537,806 people — have not yet given that sum this year. And this drop-off isn’t simply an artifact of timing. A full 87% of the people who gave $200 — the sum that triggers an itemized report to the Federal Elections Commission — through April of 2008, 182,078 people, had not contributed by the end of last month.
Door-to-door thingamajig salesmen probably have more repeat buyers than this.
If Obama wanted contributors to re-up, he should have focused less on shovel-ready b.s., more on shovel-ready jobs. And not the “saved or created” kind.
Sure, as RedState’s Moe Lane points out, 2008 contributors are likely to vote for Obama even if he’s not inspiring them to open their wallets. But that doesn’t stop us from enjoying the desperate spin:
Is Obama's donor base abandoning him – or are they just waiting? http://t.co/zoqdY5NZ

Maybe too early to count donors out, but still a good read MT @ZekeJMiller: Obama's 2008 Donors Don't Give In 2012 http://t.co/WKxng2Dn

um, ok. @buzzfeed compares Obama's early 2008 fundraising, when he was in PRIMARY BATTLE, w/ his early `12 fundraising; http://t.co/2XEdlLej

Or maybe, just maybe, Obama’s donors aren’t feeling the hope because they’re all out of change.
Unemployment stood at 4.9% when Iowa Democrats chose him on January 3, 2008. It ticked back up to 8.1% this April.
“Financially, I had more money back then than I do today,” said Greg Holmes, who works in the technology sector in Cedar Park, Texas, and gave $550 last cycle. “I’ll vote for him, but I probably won’t give any money.”
“I don’t have as much money,” said Ann Walling, a retired Episcopal priest from Franklin, Tenn. who donated $1,900 to Obama in ‘08. Money aside though, Walling is still pledging her vote to Obama. “For the most part I’m very happy with him,” she said.
“I’ve had to kind of back off my charity giving,” said Leah Jones, a retired clinical microbiologist from Langdon, Kan., who gave $1,200 last cycle but said she’s been driven to the financial brink by a son’s illness, and hasn’t even paid her income taxes yet.
Job-killing, business-smothering, savings-draining policies aren’t looking so hot now, huh?

Seems like the panel for Around The Horn is all black today. I'm assuming hockey won't end up being the most well known subject regarding the program.

I think this is certainly an initial, round the Horn with Ebony Writers on show today

It had been kinda cool seeing an all-black panel on all over Horn.

An all-Black "Around the Horn"… Are they getting terminated or are typical the white men in the NCAA Championship game tonight?

Georgia head basketball coach Mark Fox is making it clear that he will remain in Athens as the Bulldog coach, despite rumors that he may be a candidate to take over at Kansa State after the departure of Frank Martin. While this seems to be a clear denial of any interest on his part, nothing is ever certain around the coaching carousel.
Mark fox to Kstate potentially? He's a Kansas guy, at Kstate before. Does Underwood stay? Lots of questions with #kstate

hearing Mark Fox wants Kansas State and that O Purnell wants out of DePaul, wants Wake. @tsnmike @GaryParrishCBS
