I guess they couldn't find another "youth correspondent" other than Luke Russert?

[book_worm]

somebody with a little more experience?

I know his dad just died, but still I don't see what his qualifications are.

[thepurpose]

1. I got mixed feeling. Luke is not corrupted by these assholes yet, if you saw is recent report

he just explained simply and effectively why the young people of today don't see a Obama has president as a big deal. On the other hand there are a lot of bright young men and women of colors and shades out there that will never ever get the chance that Luke has gotten simply because who there parent was.

2. nepotism is alive and well

I don't have a problem with it as long as the person GETS IN LINE - clearly that is not the case here :thumbsdown:

[blondeatlast]

3. No two ways about it, Luke Russert's just bad. Maybe he needs more experience,

but he's clearly out of his his element now.

4. I agree with you but for some reason a lot of people round here like him

To me he symbolizes eery friggin thing that's wrong with what passes for journamalism in this country anymore.

5. He is a qualified as the rest of the idiots

7. He has the same connections as others of his socio economic

class....CONNECTIONS. They will get him places and make him even richer than he is already.

I nearly fell off my chair when, responding to a question by KO, Luke said

that youth voters could stomach it (supporting a black president) more than most older voters.

Stomach it? Most older voters?

He cracked me up!

[RollWithIt]

9. I think that's the truth, stomach or no stomach....

Basically he's saying that more under 35 voters would have no problems with voting for an african american candidate. I think that's true.

[valerief]

10. But that isn't what he said. He said most older voters couldn't

"stomach" having a black president. Most older voters? Not the older voters I know.

11. I own a shipping store in a very Republican reitrement area....

I've met LOTS of them. Thankfully I've also met plenty who said they like Obama too. But some of the things that come out of their mouths I would never hear come from people closer to my age.

16. He was referring to the Hillary supporters.

[valerief]

17. No, he wasn't. He was referring to most older voters. It was his last

or next to last sentence.

12. Which young person do you see with significantly stronger credentials and less partisanship?

but who you know.

15. Gads, what a little puke-a-toid!

Just like his father with nothing to back up the 'tude.
