Hmm...Kerry campaign allows feed of them watching Edwards concession

[Paragon]

Of course they'd be watching it -- it's releasing a tape of them watching it that's interesting...

On edit: They were smiling and applauding Edwards in a very positive and congratulatory way.

[mohc]

1. what for?

How is Kerry shown reacting?

[Paragon]

5. He was smiling and applauding

...along with his campaign team & Teddy Kennedy, in a very congratulatory manner.

Can you say VP, perhaps..?

[oxymoron]

2. the campaign released it?

proof? I thought it was from a reporter.

[Paragon]

6. As they said on CNN...

...its very unusual for a campaign to allow themselves to be watching another campaign.

[Maddy McCall]

8. So now you admit that his campaign didn't release the tape...

and that news reporters filmed a rather ho-hum event in the dynamics of elections. Not a big deal.

[oxymoron]

9. in other words, the campaign didn't release it. (nt)

[KC21304]

15. What were they to do? Kerry wanted to see what Edwards was

saying. Should they have shooed all of the press out of the room ?

[quinnox]

3. I don't think that was them watching Edwards concession

for one thing, Edwards didn't concede in that speech.

[Paragon]

12. 9:30 am, tomorrow morning

Edwards will concede -- CNN.

[revcarol]

4. Tasteless...

YUK.

And this man will be the leader of the world?

[Old and In the Way]

18. Tasteless? I have no idea why you'd state that.

Absolutely nothing but some live time for Kerry and it happened during Edwards speech to his supporters. Frankly, I thought it was great to see Kerry clapping in support of some of Edwards' statements.

Of course, I wouldn't expect anything but that kind of gratuituous Kerry slam from you.

[Maddy McCall]

7. NO HIS CAMPAIGN DIDN'T

Cameras from the media were in the room. It was a feed from that room, NOT from the Kerry campaign.

Please get your facts correct. Thanks. :hi:

[Paragon]

10. see post # 6

When have you ever seen a campaign allow themselves to be seen watching another campaign?

[KC21304]

11. Where was this tape played ?

MSNBC played their own tape. All the networks have recording facilities you know.

[Maddy McCall]

13. And reporters and cameras with each campaign.

[Maddy McCall]

14. A plea to Kerry and Edwards supporters...

Don't be manipulated into a flamewar tonight by people who are not in either of out camps.

The purpose of threads like these is evident. Don't fall for it.

Unity for us tonight. :grouphug:

[Paragon]

17. GIVE ME A BREAK

My point was not to "manipulate" anyone. I'm simply pointing out EXACTLY what they said on CNN - that it's unusual for a campaign to allow themselves to be seen in such a manner.

It's either Kerry being very kind and/or applauding his future VP.

[JI7]

16. he didn't release any tape

the media was showing what they themselves taped while in there.
