listen to the AAR coverage, begun at 5PM CDT.

they have senator REID on now, who's INCENSED about the widespread voter intimidation/suppression being reported

I didn't hear the beginning, but I sure hope he's not surprised

most of AAR's lineup is going to be on throughout the evening, including Franken, Sam Seder, AND Janeane. they're going to be on a long time, it appears, too.

what a pleasant change from those loser/liars on the other channels.

I know Olbermann is anchoring, but he's not on very much. they have a HORRIBLE lineup on MSNBC:

Tweety

Norah

Ben (Swiftboat) Ginsberg

Tucker

and...Bob bleeding gum SHRUM! forget that noise

AAR, baby!

4. Media Matters asked this very pertinent question TWO YEARS ago:
http://mediamatters.org/items/200410090001

One of these things is not like the others: Why is GOP lawyer Ben Ginsberg on MSNBC's debate panels?
On MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews's pre-debate panel on October 8 comprised the journalists Howard Fineman, David Gregory, Norah O'Donnell, and ... Ben Ginsberg. Although Benjamin L. Ginsberg is an "MSNBC contributor," he is not a journalist; he is a lawyer with partisan ties -- a fact Matthews notes whenever he appears on Hardball. In August, Ginsberg resigned from his position as chief outside counsel to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign after he acknowledged that he had been providing legal advice to the discredited anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

In addition to having served as national counsel to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, Ginsberg, a partner in the law firm of Patton Boggs LLP, is the former general counsel to the Republican National Committee. According to his bio on the Patton Boggs website, "e played a central role in the 2000 Florida recount."

Ginsberg was also a panelist for MSNBC's debate coverage of the first presidential debate on September 30, as well as of the October 5 vice presidential debate. Here's a sample of Ginsberg's contribution to MSNBC's post-vice presidential debate coverage:

MATTHEWS: Ben, you help me get the story straight right now. Was Iraq involved with 9-11?

GINSBERG: As far as we know, there were certainly insinuations in the 9-11 Commission report that there were. As for the absolute truth of the matter ...

MATTHEWS: No, there weren't. No, there weren't. No, there were not. I'm sorry, Ben. I have got to correct you here.

Ginsberg was wrong. Matthews was right. From the 9-11 Commission Report:

We have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship. Nor have we seen evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in developing or carrying out any attacks against the United States.

6. AMEN! the only time I have the sound on is if KO is on, and AAR is in
commercial

here's tip on AAR:

at twenty eight and fifty eight minutes after the hour, they go to break; six minutes at twenty eight after, and eight minutes at the top of the hour

they have two other breaks, each which last four minutes

I have a little timer next to the computer, which I use, so I don't have to listen to any commercials

can't take those things anymore, especially the PUG ads on our local radio AAR outlet!

Election Night Extravaganza
11/06/2006 12:32:58 PM ESTBy Cenk

On Tuesday night, we are going to have an Election Night Extravaganza on The Young Turks. We will cover the election from our perspective (and likely yours) and give our side a voice.
We will have the same results as all the networks at the same times. But if George Allen loses we will celebrate, sing and dance (well, dancing is optional). When Rick Santorum goes down in defeat it will be joyous. No matter what happens in all the tight races across the country, we will share the joy and the pain with you. It's liberal TV on the internet at www.theyoungturks.com.

We were planning to start coverage of the election at 7PM ET. But now Think Progress and Alternet have also joined our coverage, so we will start at 5PM ET and give you an hour of Alternet's election coverage through our studio and website. And then move on to Think Progress coverage from 6PM-7PM. And then start the official Election Night coverage by The Young Turks at 7PM ET.
We will interview candidates, Congressmen, Senators, reporters and bloggers from across the country. We will also have all of the latest news on the races and take your calls. Here's a list of just some of the guests that will be on the show that night:

General Wesley Clark
Former Senator Max Cleland
Adam Green, MoveOn.Org
Ari Berman, The Nation
Paul Reickhoff, President of IAVA
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ)
Melanie Sloan -- CREW
Dan Gerstein -- Communication Director for Joe Lieberman
Sidney Blumenthal
Rep Tim Ryan (D-OH)
Former CIA Analyst Larry Johnson
Eric Alterman
Robert Greenwald, Director of "Iraq for Sale"
Paul Kane -- Roll Call
Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA)
Hans Johnson, In These Times
Ari Melber, The Nation
Katrina Van Dan Huevel -- The Nation
McJoan, DailyKos
Alex Pareene, Wonkette
John Amato, Crooks and Liars
Brad Friedman, Bradblog

We will also have Congressional candidates from all over the country in tight races that we have interviewed throughout the campaign. They will check back in with us and tell us what went right and what went wrong.

Finally, we are not good in keeping our emotions in check. So, if the Republicans lose we will be elated. However, if they win and retain the House and the Senate, we will be tremendously disappointed and despondent. So, that gives the Republicans incentive to watch as well (they're still buying CDs of our 2004 election coverage).

Hopefully, 2006 will be different than 2004. It will certainly be interesting, no matter what. I can't wait for it. We hope you are all just as excited and we hope to see you on The Young Turks on Election Night.

The Young Turks

19. Janeane on now....Howard Dean coming up after the break, at
7:34PM

just got off the phone w/friends in DC who are going to CELEBRATION party at DuPont Circle.

they're VERY optimistic

they live in Arlington, and the polls were BY FAR the most crowded they've ever seen.

this makes me very happy, as I lived there for 15 years, and consider it my home, pretty much

they REALLY REALLY REALLY hate Allen up there, and realize the only reason he's gotten where he is....is the same reason as Chimpo: his daddy's name
