He will discuss the convention agenda, Senator Kerry's race for the White House, and the future of the Democratic Party.

Then, on Thursday, the 9/11 Commission issued its final report. What went wrong? Could it have been prevented? Where do we go from here? We will talk to both the Chair and Vice Chair of the 9/11 Commission, Fmr. Gov. Thomas Kean (R-NJ) and Fmr. Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-IN).

Finally, in a special Decision 2004 "Meet the Press" roundtable, NBC News's Tom Brokaw will share with us his insights into covering every Democratic convention since 1968, as well as his analysis of the 2004 race between George W. Bush and John F. Kerry.

5. I've not heard Obama speak,

so I'm really anxious to get to know him. I hope Tim Russert doesn't find a way to make him look bad.

that fat, oily PRICK is among the very most disgusting lifeforms that has EVER infested the planet

7. You speak for many of us, believe me. You've nailed him.

I think a lot of Democrats who live out of state and have never seen Barak Obama speaking are going to appreciate seeing him on dipstick's show.

will probably be all over him, and he's really young, not a hardened politician yet, but he seems bright enough to hold his own, anyway, with any luck.
