2. Love PBS coverage...
...much as I can't stand David Brooks....him and Mark Shields are very thoughtful...and Brooks isn't coming across as rabidly partisian as he can be. Its still early in the convention though.

7. oh, Brooks is "known" now....
...I can see through his spin now, and Shields keeps him more or less honest.

I sort of liked Gigot, better, though,..more cycnical.

4. I was going to listen to Jim, but
he has that damned David Brooks on. Hate him. Hate him. Hate him.

So, I'm on C-Span, all the coverage, none of the yak-yak.

9. Brooks is basically the neutered version of the RW pundit...
that he likes to write on the supposed elitism of DEMS, just slays me. He embodies the elite (semi) intellectual snob, IMO. But, he is not a particuarly astute or quick thinker, thus I think he is basically the "eunoch," of the RW pundits.

6. Im watching the PBS coverage, too..like a glass of fine port.
....compared to the rotgut on the commercial newschannels.

Also the best commentary and analyses.
