Boxing VP Debate
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 12:57 PM by dieharderdem
The Vice Presidential Debate round by round
Teher are reasons nobody ever tries to score political debates as fights. Few candidates ever wind up absolutel knocked out. Tew referees or judges point-by-point subjective judgements are ever validated by one of the debaters throwing in the towel. The overall impact of a debate might be completely differandt than the question by question scoring and those who try end up with their heads feeling like mush.
Don't try this at home.
Pre-fight notes what is it with these notes? Perhaps Cheney's writing Stare Daggers at him
Round One.
This is a very funny piece and the end score is a suprise.
On Edit: The address might help.

2. The MSNBC Hardblogger thing has bothered me since the Dem convention
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 01:32 PM by rocknation
I thought it was very cool of the DNC to invite bloggers, but apparently NBC didn't. Out of an attempt to appear "cool" themselves, or out of fear that they'd get scooped by people with no corporate or editorial restrictions, they had their Dem convention reporters write personal "inside track" blogs as well as file their "normal" convention stories. Isn't that a conflict of interest, seeing as NBC is actually in the news "business"? And doesn't it defeat the purpose of unstructured reporting outside of the mainstream?

This is nothing personal against Keith or his story, but it's an editorial, not a "blog entry." Actually, he may owe me a royalty!
