Does anyone else wish Ron and Fez were still on at night so we could hear them do the play by play? We might as well do this in this thread tonight.

One of my favorite moments on the Free FM show was them simulcasting the "Subway Superman" winning about $5 on Deal or No Deal.

I halfway expect that maniac to try saving someone on the subway again and end up getting his ass flattened.

Anybody else see Luke Russert on MSNBC interviewing the youngest mayor in the nation? I couldn't give a damn about the interview...but rather I got a feeling watching it that NBC is gonna groom Luke to eventually take over Meet the Press in 10-15 years.

Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure Tim Russert willed it to him.

I wonder if we'll get a John Kerry-esque jump the shark moment:

"I'm John McCain, reporting for duty!"

What I've seen of Luke Russert has been pretty awful. He has an awkward delivery and asked some dumb questions. I doubt anyone will care even 5 years from now who his father is unless he improves quickly and makes a name for himself.

He may be the "niche" young guy. I think there will always be better smarter people than Luke. He doesnt have the life experience of a Brokaw or even the political resume of his dad.

The throwback divisiveness of Palin's speech last night along with the snotty insults and lies and distortions has not worn well on me as the day has gone on. So much so that I don't think i can watch this tonight even though I know McCain will not be nearly as bad, and is probably even going to talk about some issues which would be a first for this year's RNC. I'd much rather watch or read this thing tomorrow. Good luck guys.

OR...he's a complete, self-serving liar, who abandoned his convictions when the Democratic party had the nerve to primary him last time around.

RNC just ran a 9/11 rememberance video. No buildings exploding, no terror scenes, etc. He went on about how if a news network showed those images, they would be lambasted. What a disengenuous douche. I used to love Matthews but he is just off the deep end lately.

He went back to "The Mixing Bowl", and that was atleast nice to see Merrick Rd again

Im hoping in this 2nd hour there are some businesses that shit the bed. Right now hes at the Indian restaurant in Manhattan with the cockroaches and shit

Woodward notes that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposed the surge, while GOP presidential candidate John McCain was “advocating more troops for years.” Woodward also quotes McCain expressing frustration with the Bush White House, clenching his fists in the West Wing and exclaiming to Woodward: “Everything is f---ing spin.”

Re-elected in 2006? He didnt need to do that for a fucking nobody then.

Yeah friends, thats a horrible thing to be but to insinuate hes doing this just to be a friend is idiotic

Yeah kinda like the democrats did when they decided to submarine him to get him out of office cause he wouldnt be the yes boy on everything.

Message for the democratic party, paybacks a motha fucka.

I most likely wont vote this election but if you people think that the democrats are the solution then you obviously had no clue what the problem was in the first place..

CNN was the leading network for the DNC

My guess is that Republicans watch the RNC, therefore they'll watch 'their' network of choice.

But as a whole, ratings on FOX News have been down over the last couple years.

I gotta point this out. Cindy McCain just told us how her dad was "quiet about his WWII" experience, just like John.

I'd believe that about your father as that's how those WWII roll. But Cindy, your husband has nothing else to talk about other than his experiences in Vietnam.

How so? He's the senior senator from Arizona... Indian tribes are big deals there.

Oh, I understand that, and it's something he deserves credit for.

The placement just seemed weird, and he delivered it like an 1890s prospector.

[AKA]

I dont know what you mean though...what did you expect him going after obama? a rock show? You kind of sound like bob kelly.

God no - I've seen the man give good speeches and shitty speeches - but I've seen him really connect one on one - there was a small part of me that thought he might surprise us - but after the red meat show last night, I am surprised how this began...

Of course NOW he's connecting to the hall, by puking up all of the GOP applause lines.

WHAT I WANT TO SEE iS FUCKING SPECIFICS! Obama gave a state of the union speech - this is just "more of the same."

[AKA]

the republicans convention is just so weird...like, all the hype for McCain, it doesn't really fit his personality. hes a lowkey guy


like, i started to hate the guy cuz all the douchey republicans sucking his cock. Now hes up there, calling some republicans corrupt..its almost like hes pissing off people in the audience. McCain is in a weird, weird spot

Actually, the dude responsible for organizing the convention is someone McCain loathes.

Really?

He's just listing the problems and NOT saying what he plans to do about them other than talking points.

How so, when he has a Democratic congress to deal with???

I really do think that whoever wins is destined for one term presidencies - Obama was get his mandate, and then the pendulum will swing when the echo chamber gets into effect for 4 years - McCain will not get shit done because the only thing really bipartisan about him is that he's pissed off both parties more than worked with both parties.

This is ridiculous.

Who the hell thought that 'drill, baby, drill' would be a catchphrase that would sweep the nation?

I've heard it like eight times this week .

Yea its really awful

[brettmojo]

Wasn't Obama for Nuclear power?

Here's what Obama's position paper (http://www.barackobama.com/issues/pdf/EnergyFactSheet.pdf) on energy says (PDF): Safe and Secure Nuclear Energy: Nuclear power represents more than 70 percent of our non- carbon generated electricity. It is unlikely that we can meet our aggressive climate goals if we eliminate nuclear power from the table. However, there is no future for expanded nuclear without first addressing four key issues: public right-to-know, security of nuclear fuel and waste, waste storage, and proliferation.
Face.

And here's what he said (http://www.barackobama.com/2007/10/09/obama_says_only_outsider_can_b.php) in New Hampshire last year:
On one specific energy matter that is important to many in New Hampshire, he would not pledge to stop all new nuclear power plants.
"When you're a politician, you're always tempted to get some applause, but on this one I have to be more qualified," Obama said.
"We shouldn't simply remove nuclear power from the equation," Obama said. "But there has to be a high standard and a high threshold. ... I'm not going to automatically rule it out as a reasonable option."

[JerseySean]

Yeah, Americans just sit around clamoring for more drilling and more nuclear power - oh, Obama...you so stupid.

I'd agree if this was 2000 - too much time to see his transform.

God bless him - he is a hero, but the last 4-6 years really diminished him in my eyes. Hearing the story again isn't going to change. He's the same pitbull that's been running a Karl Rove like campaign during the month of August, and now wants to extend his hand across the aisle?

Fuck 'em

Why are you voting for Obama again?

In order:

1) I'm fundamentally opposed to trickle down economics.
2) Opposed to the Neo-Con philosophy of international relations, and while I think McCain would be an improvement over Bush, I don't think he'll deviate from it greatly.
3) I believe Obama is better situated to cultivate alternative energy.
4) Fundamentally opposed to the push to legislate Christian Conservatism
5) I believe Obama is better situated to improve American infrastructure.

I have to admit that I didn't hate it...And I was fully prepared to hate it. He has kind of dry delivery but some of the content was pretty good and he wasn't just trying to shoot down democrats/liberals and make them out to be the devil. Reminded me a little of Reagan at times.

If it were not for the lying sonnabitch Bush over the last 8 years and that stupid VP choice me made I would take pause to consider him a little more. If only they weren't so... well, repulican.

She wait about 90 seconds. Here's the Democratic Response care of Hillary Clinton:

“The two party conventions showcased vastly different directions for our country. Senator Obama and Senator Biden offered the new ideas and positive change America needs and deserves after eight years of failed Republican leadership. Senator McCain and Governor Palin did not.

“After listening to all of the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle class families, provide quality affordable health care for all Americans, guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, restore our nation's leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces.

“So, to slightly amend my comments from Denver: NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN-PALIN.”
