Overheard on Morning Joe

Should Palin rethink her approach?

Joe Scarborough: "I think she's trying to clean up a terrible mess... She is saying people are trying to shut her up. That would be for her benefit to say less. Because the more she talks, the lower her stock goes. That's the political reality." Watch video of Scarborough discussing Palin with journalist Carl Bernstein.

The battle over health care

Rep. Connie Mack (R-FL): "I want to repeal health care, this bill that is going to kill jobs... We can then go back and look for common sense solutions moving forward. The voters spoke. They don't want this."

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD): "The health care bill is not perfect... but this idea that you are going to throw out the whole thing just doesn't make sense. And that's not what the American people are looking for." Watch the video.

MoJoe's take on the day's top talkers:
'Tiger mom' sparks parenting debate

Mika Brzezinski: "It was on the Wall Street Journal Website, a first person essay entitled 'Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior.'"

Donny Deutsch: "Every parent should read that... There's something to be said about building stronger kids. The difference is we say 'do the best you can' and they ['Tiger parents'] say 'this is the best you can do.' My mom pushed me hard, and we debated... and I end up a very successful guy."

Joe Scarborough: "I got to say - I love my mom... she was a 'Tiger mom.' She never gave me a free break."
