[Twist_U_Up]

[Karenca]

1. Going to cover Ohio Recount nt

[Twist_U_Up]

2. Yea looked interesting too n/t

[jamboi]

4. I'm psyched that he's got Arnebeck! Lots of credibility! n/t

[New Earth]

6. see, he is balancing his guests

last night was that ass from the Wall Street Journal.

Tonight we get Arneback.

Keith rules.

[Karenca]

7. THAT HE DOES! NT

[Clark2008]

30. I said that last night

And he even alluded to it in his show.
He said that, judging from the Jackson/Blackwell dueling op-eds, it's a good thing they were on successive nights on his show instead of together.

As for the viewer - it may not be as salacious, but it offers the viewer a chance to hear everyone out without a bunch of yelling and screaming.

[Patsy Stone]

36. Just

Hi! Haven't seen you today!

[Clark2008]

60. I haven't been around

Woke up sick, had to wait for the meds to work to go into work (sinus trouble, nothing major), put up the tree because I'm going out of town for the weekend and I promised the most important little person in my life that we would...
Just got around to posting.

LOL! We decorated the tree watching Keith Olbermann. Bet he never thought he'd become a holiday tradition! :)

[SueZhope]

8. OH MY GOD!!

Arnebeck
he has my new hero

I missed the intro
I just tuned into something about
sports & steroids.

[Patsy Stone]

3. Hey girl

you mean, he's still talking to us? Wow.

[Karenca]

5. Hey Patsy

Yes......
I was afraid he wouldn't.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Not to be unkind, but

Bob looked like death warmed over.

[Shopaholic]

10. Keith is a fair journalist

in my opinion. He provides balanced interviews and he really lets his guests talk. Remember when journalists used to do that?

[txindy]

11. I barely remember journalists, let alone what they used to do.

;) Keith is one of the few journalists on TV today. The others are talking heads and news readers.

[Twist_U_Up]

12. barely

he is balanced. Thats why the repugs don`t like him he isn`t part of the flock.

[Patsy Stone]

13. Remember?

It was a great thing. Now we have screaming parrots. Sad.

[Twist_U_Up]

14. lol spongebob lol

hamburlar lol

[crispini]

15. Let's see- a few notes

OH vote complete
OH vote certified next Monday.
121,000 -- 77% provos accepted
Suit against Blackwell.

Arnbeck - hopes to file tomorrow. Asking to set the vote aside. Believes if all votes counted, it would go to Kerry.

[crispini]

16. JJ on CNN today.

I didn't know about that.

Kerry $$$ to Wa gov race for recount, but still not enough. (WHY NOT ALL OF IT, KERRY?)

and ..... we're done with voter fraud for today.

Not a thing about the Bev kerfuffle. Thank GOD!

[Patsy Stone]

21. He said

he would blog about it later -- someone posted. Much better to do it in private. It's been an ugly 24 hours. I hope it's all done now.

Wouldn't it be cool if he would come on here and discuss. Then again, who's to say that he doesn't? The internets are soooo cool.

[saracat]

28. Why not all of it DNC. Kerry gave them 23 million and now anothe 17

million because they were bitching he had too much money! Why is the DNC asking for more money for this? That should be the question.

[Patsy Stone]

34. Maybe

he needs it for something...else? :)

[mirandapriestly]

50. I think Wa gave a limit of 250,000

that Gregoire could accept from any one person

[merbex]

17. From his mouth to God's ear

[Karenca]

18. Arnbeck -Believes if all votes counted, it would go to Kerry.

by 130,000.

[tbuddha]

24. as long as the repukes haven't gotten their hands on the ballots

That's why I like my canvassing idea.

[buddysmellgood]

42. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I worked with MoveOn to get out the vote. They had this great Web Action Center, where folks could check out a list of names online, and then enter the results of the canvassing. I sent them an email saying, let's call every voter in Warren County and ask how they voted. 2000 volunteers could do it easily.

[lizzieforkerry]

65. I live here- I'll do it!! I KNOW Kerry got more votes than reported!

[trudyco]

66. Please do!

Ask if they voted, what precinct, if it was absentee provisional or regular. If they didn't vote, did they try and the lines were too long?

We talked about affidavits on another thread but initially just get the data. Find out if things are fishy, especially in the blackbox black hole precincts.

It would add just one more piece of evidence of fraud (maybe). tbuddha was talking about getting people to canvass during the rally (to get affidavits) but just a phone call would be almost as good and a lot easier to do. Would Moveon take it on?

trudyco

[buddysmellgood]

71. I've emailed and asked, but no response yet. If you think about it, it's

the perfect grassroots solution to all this bullshit. People can participate from anywhere, it costs very little and it goes right to the source.
Send MoveOn a message. Phone is the way to go if you ask me.

[Hobbes199]

32. It's so great to hear, and a nice tactic to get that notion out there.

[Twist_U_Up]

19. pretty fair and balanced

That about wrapped it up.

I sure as hell hope that they can stop this.

I look forward to Madsens report tonite

[SueZhope]

20. Arnebeck

I was hoping he would interview him,
he interviewed that nut last night...any one else
feel this?

[Patsy Stone]

22. Tomorrow, if he files

I'm sure he'd try to. Or, who knows, maybe Bev? :)

[SueZhope]

26. patsy

have you read this new post tonight?
NO BEV

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

[Patsy Stone]

27. Sometimes

he blogs at like 11 p.m. also. Who knows? I'll find you the post and we can dissect it. What the hell do I know? I'm just a chick in my pajamas with a keyboard. Guessing, reading, analyzing, with a cat, a cup of coffee and a sleeping husband. :)

[intelle]

31. Yes he did mention Bev

Here is an excerpt:

"Complicating our effort is the fact that even as we hoped to provide a platform to publicize and illuminate her efforts, Ms. Harris had returned none of the messages left on her own voicemail by Countdown staffers since she spoke to our staffers briefly, twice, during the week of November 8. Only today did she even get back in touch with us, and was so belligerent, threatening, and demanding, that we have chosen to withdraw our invitation to her to appear, or to have videotape of her efforts played, on Countdown.
"
This is definitely a shame.

[Patsy Stone]

33. And, there you go.

That's the stuff I'm talking about it. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I imagined this would all go down well. Why did that need to happen? I am so embarrassed. And disappointed, and sad.

Threats? From us? From her? So, so bad, either way. And the stern "talking to," makes me even more depressed. Not that it was undeserved, by any stretch, because we did bad.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do...

[KatieB]

64. BEv was not nasty- his producers did not go to the source

Bev wrote a response to KO's coverage last night. They used other media instead of talking to her, but said that had spoken with her.Tonights' speech from KO was an overreaction. Read Bev's response yourselves at blackboxvoting.com

[crispini]

23. Madsen's got another one?

Wooooo!

I can't stand this, I'm rapidly becoming obsessed with this election thing.

[Twist_U_Up]

25. yep Jam said he was posting tonite

I`ll look for the post

it said something like hes going to tie it all together and his sources are with him in D.C.

[SueZhope]

29. have you all read this yet from keiths blog?

One final note here. I should clarify what I wrote in this space last night about Countdown’s interaction with Bev Harris of Black Box Voting. My staff is not certain that any of our messages to Ms. Harris inviting her on the show since the week of November 15 have specifically asked her for permission to play the videotapes of her work trying to audit the Florida vote. We think so, but I’ve got only three people booking all the guests on this program, and they each probably make about 100 calls a day.

Complicating our effort is the fact that even as we hoped to provide a platform to publicize and illuminate her efforts, Ms. Harris had returned none of the messages left on her own voicemail by Countdown staffers since she spoke to our staffers briefly, twice, during the week of November 8. Only today did she even get back in touch with us, and was so belligerent, threatening, and demanding, that we have chosen to withdraw our invitation to her to appear, or to have videotape of her efforts played, on Countdown.

Threats against myself or my staff will not be tolerated. We are not only busting our humps on the voting irregularities beat, but we remain the only mainstream news organization to continue to cover this vital story. These are my people — they are running professional risks I can’t begin to describe — and I will stand up for them, first, last, and always.

[txindy]

35. Well, sounds like Keith's people have a real stand-up boss on their side

Keith's not only an excellent journalist, it appears he's also a great boss. Why does this not surprise me? Integrity both on-the-air and off. :toast:

[Shopaholic]

41. Actually. . .

he's supposed to be really difficult to work with, but usually he battles with his superiors, not his staff, although he doesn't really put up with less than professional behavior from co-workers.

[txindy]

67. Sounds like the kind of boss I'd like to have, actually.

I did have one just like that, once. Best manager, ever. Great sense of humor, too. Always went to bat for his team with his superiors, while also making certain work was done professionally and thoroughly.

On the flip side, we have Bill 'Falafel Boy' O'Reilly as a boss! A creature whose management style made headlines not too long ago! ROFL!

[Hobbes199]

37. Eek. Everyone crapping on that bit today should be ashamed.

And send out emails to both parties urging them to reconcile.

[e-mail]

[e-mail]

[saracat]

39. Keith is 100% right .I would never send an email asking him to reconcile

with that woman. We should leave it alone.We shouldn't risk the integrity of the vote fraud story with this crap.Keith is our only hero on TV.

[Kolesar]

40. hmm. Does not sound good ... eom

[Habibi]

49. That's just great.

Sounds like Bev is marginalizing herself.

[Patsy Stone]

38. Oh no...

Here we go again, there's already another thread...I'm not getting into all this again. I can't.

[ValleyGirl]

43. LOL - what a soap opera

"As the Black Box Turns"

[Patsy Stone]

44. LOL!

oy vey...

[Straight Shooter]

45. Well, it looks like Bev made her bed, and now she'll have to lie in it.

As for me, I think I'll go lie in Keith Olbermann's bed ;)

[Patsy Stone]

46. Are we...

going there? :)

[Straight Shooter]

48. Shame on all of us, ALL of us, I tell ya!

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

55. Yes'm...

We're all going straight to the dark place. ;)

[ValleyGirl]

47. omg LOL

Well can't say I blame you there! Keef is the hottie of cable news :smoke:

[Catherine Vincent]

51. Keef....

Lmao!

[Patsy Stone]

59. Funny!

in the one e-mail I sent (and, shockingly, received a reply to) I mentioned "Keef."

The post that was hysterical that night, from I don't remember whom, went something like: "Keef! Keef! Jesse Jackson's a stupid-head!"

ROFLMAO!

[ValleyGirl]

62. I love calling him Keef now for some reason, lol

Ever since that funny post you were talking about from "bleever" (I think that was the poster's name) and, of course, inspiration from Mr. Blackwell ;-)

[Patsy Stone]

63. I think that's the guy/gal

That was damned funny.

[mirandapriestly]

52. if only................

;)

[Karenca]

54. I'll get

there first ;))

[SueZhope]

57. I guess it has come down

to this part of the show,
after all Keith did talk about
the story not being sexy
enough for MSM in his blog tonight....

[crispini]

58. Get in line!

It's to the left. :evilgrin:

[Straight Shooter]

61. I'm just comin' up for air, so y'all just wait a little while

Remember I called dibs first

:smoke:

Okay, done, go for it.

[crispini]

68. Bwahahahaha!

:evilgrin:

The man could post a call to arms on his blog and he'd be up to his ears in... AHEM.

We're GONNA get this thread locked. :smoke:

[bleever]

69. Ladies! Ladies, please! We're doing work here, not Keef.

ROFLMAO.:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

70. Welcome

to the gutter with us, bleever.

[mdb]

53. un-huh...

Arnebeck added, "we invite the Bush campaign and the Kerry campaign to join and cooperate in a non-partisan effort to find the truth, gather the facts, and assure the public, and assure both candidates, that this is an honest election."

Do you suppose the Bush team would join in to find the truth? About as much as he wanted to find the truth about WMD's in Iraq before the war.

[rodeodance]

56. Bush join?-----uga uga!!
