friends don't let friends watch the convention on CNN or MSNBC -

please, for the love of god watch PBS, even though Brooks is currently on Newshour. HD to boot!

I knew the cable news coverage of this event was going to be filled with bullshit pundit commentary and PUMA drama, so I stuck with C-SPAN. You get to see the whole event, uninterrupted with commentary.

Oh, I must've missed the shovel bit. Apparently Olbermann mumbled "get a shovel" while Joe was going on about the McCain camp being super confident and the Obama camp being fearful, that's why he threw out that random poll.:lol

so bizarre seeing olberman talking with anybody he disagrees with

If there's one thing I don't like about his show, it's that. Finding republicans that don't spout talking points is a feat but there are a few out there. That's not to say there aren't democrats that do that too (but they're terrible at it most of the times).

Is the msnbc stream back up yet, and are they commenting or something? I'm watching the CNN one. Great quality but no commentary
Godd is talking to Olbermann right now on MSNBC (on TV).

On Biden . . .

His son is paid ~$500k over a five year period for "consulting". He provides the political cover for the DEMs to finally pass the bill. After it passes, his son's "consulting" gig with MBNA isn't renewed. Nice coincidence.

Bubububububu...TRAIN TO DELAWARE

...why is Biden's son's adult decisions reflective of Biden himself again?

How are young voters polling for McCain. Honestly that makes no sense to me.

Both percentages added up to like 51% or something on that poll so I wouldn't think too much of it.

Think he refers to the fact MBNA exployees make up his largest contributors to his campaign and the fact Biden was one of the only Democrats to support the Bill so it kinda raises some flags

A new Harvard Institute of Politics poll of young voters shows Sen. Barack Obama with a huge 23 point lead over Sen. John McCain, 55% to 32% with 13% undecided.

This lead is virtually unchanged since the last poll in the spring before the Democratic nomination was settled.

Key finding: "Overall, 62% of young voters report that they are excited (23% very excited, 39% somewhat excited) about the upcoming election, including 69% of 18 to 24 year olds currently in college."

Yeah, I think it's a pretty valid point.
