Anyone watch the coverage of Obama's speech this afternoon???

[ghurley]

I was at home for lunch watching Obama fielding questions without notes in a warehouse/ factory in PA. When I got home, CNN and MSNBC were covering him. FOX was covering McCain's campaign, waiting for him and Palin to show up for a speech. Well, as soon as Palin began to introduce McCain, CNN and MSNBC cut to her, leaving a great conversation.

One thing that Obama mentioned when he was speaking was that the Republicans talk about themselves and talk about him (Obama, but do not talk about the middle class.

So, we get forced over to Palin and she is talking about herself and about McCain. The biggest surprise was that, to talk about herself and McCain, she has to use notes. I was watching with my dad and we were both saying, "Obama can talk about any issue without notes, and she needs notes to talk about herself." McCain was the same as her. They gave the same stump speech that they gave at the convention and were off. CNN and MSNBC both later cut back to Obama after a commercial where he was fielding questions about coal.

1. Stop watching cable news

They don't cover Obama anyway except when they want to echo McCain/Palin smears about Obama.

2. Have to... that's where most are getting their news.

5. EXACTLY RIGHT. If we stop watching who will respond to them? Ignoring problems make them WORSE.

3. So they didn't "whisk her off" to Alaska after the convention? I'm confused

but I'm not going to spend any time tracking her down...
