Poll question: Did anyone here not watch ANY of the Democratic Convention?
Sadly, I was away for the entire week and didn't have access to television.

Something tells me I'm the only one here who didn't see a single minute of coverage. Am I wrong?

(Oh and go ahead and answer the poll..)

1. I have no television
and even if I did there's no cable or broadcast reception at my cabin. No telephone either. Running water, though :-).

2. I watched ALL of it.
On C-SPAN...no pundits...no commercials. It was great. Nothing but Democrats speaking for DAYS. Heaven, pure heaven. :)

3. C-SPAN was great!
No Scarborough, no Wolfie. Just great, inspiring coverage of the speeches and what looked like a hell of a party.

5. Didn't watch a single minute live but,
I've caught several of the speeches through the "In Demand" service on cable.

I just can't watch TV news or much of anything they cover anymore without a dangerous increase in blood pressure.

6. got Tivo - (love it)
sad part is I probably wouldn't have watched it without Tivo because I would have missed the broadcast otherwise.
