I'm watching C-SPAN- I am watching the actual event
You know like you would...say....watch a sporting event. I don't need to see what Brokaw or Mathews think of it (I usually watch that non-sense). Watch the show!!!

Plus I am DVR-ing it (digital taping) so my wife can watch it. Dammit I didn't tape the Gore speech that was outstanding.

I understand that Fox isn't even covering it in the interest of be fair and balanced.

I wonder what insight Chris Mathews has to say about..........no can't do it-can't tape and flip channels.

GUvnah Richardson is on.

1. Watching C-Span Too! Turn off CNN, FAUX and MSRNC!!!
If you REALLY want to see what is going on, please watch C-Span. You are missing SO much if you stay on the cable networks and listen the the Kerry Haters.

2. Me, too!
I had switched to PBS but they're talking over introductions so I went back to C-Span. It's great! I've been watching it since 3 p.m. CST.

No cable. :(

7. Yah, I dont get why anyone is watching commentary. What is the point?
This isnt a congressional vote, there is no analysis needed, this is setup directly for consumption.

on my puter. I've got PBS on in the background but I don't like them talking over certain events. Like they talked over the whole women senators thing.

10. Chris Matthews
turned me way off. He was bashing Clinton earlier and even suggested that he did no good for the women of this country. That sent me running for my remote. I'll never watch his shitty show again, lemme tell ya.

12. who cares what they have to say anyway
we can watch and judge how we feel for ourselves.

btw, i thought it was pretty great to have the kids choir singing a nice old song in the socialist tradition. i hope it put a torque in hannity's colon. i heard he's there.

15. Thanks for the welcome!
I love this place, my hands will have to be pried from my keyboard. LOL

MSNBC has turned into the second coming of Faux News. It is literally shocking to watch. Chris Matthews should be ashamed of himself for his unapologetic whoring.
