IS MSNBC EVEN GOING TO SHOW THE DNC CONVENTION

I'd venture to say for the 3 hours this has been on, they have aired maybe 20 minutes of the convention.

The rest of the time its just Keith, Chris, and other talking heads dissing the Clinton's.

confused

It's best to watch the convention on CSPAN, because they show the whole convention with no commercials or anchorpersons talking over the program.

CNN and MSNBC just had too many of their personnel speaking over the program. I watched it on CSPAN from 7pm and had a good listen of the band playing music in between, and also listened to the full speeches of all the persons scheduled to speak, including Ted and Caroline Kennedy and others.

I hear ya. I watched the DNC on CPAN. Better coverage by far. Less talking heads. Less drama. And Michelle's speech..... woot! OMG!! I got goose bumps. The girl is good.

We live in a culture that discourages empathy. A culture that too often tells us our principle goal in life is to be rich, thin, young, famous, safe, and entertained.

Her speech was awesome. After the convention closed for the evening and CSPAN took phone calls. All I heard was a bunch of whining Clinton supporters that were angry he did not select Hillary as VP. When are they going to get over that? It seems they won't.

I hope after they keep seeing the ads that McCain keeps running featuring Hillary as the star, they'll come to their freaking senses!

YES WE DID!!! President Barack Obama!!!
