Just heard someone interviewed on Potus 08 that really sets off my hypocrisy meter.
It was a Texas delegate to the DNC.

That person was bitching and saying they would absolutely not vote for Obama because he believes that the delegates were "duped" by being told that the vote taken that morning for the Texas delegation was binding but instead was overturned by the acclamation vote.

... the acclamation motion that was proposed by the very person he says he was supporting, and the person who the "35,000 Texas Democrats" that he represented at the convention voted for, Hillary.

Then said something about the eve of the anniversary of the 19th Amendment and blah blah blah.

Uh... if you and the 35,000 Texas Democrats that you were representing supported Hillary, why aren't you doing what she says, and why are you unhappy with the acclamation vote when it was Hillary who proposed it?

... they really must try hard to find these people.

And I had actually before been rather impressed with Potus 08's coverage in that they certainly seem to be less biased than other MSM outlets. At the very least, they have made it a point to air stump speeches completely unedited, air the daily conference calls where reporters get to ask both the Republicans and the Democrats questions about the campaign and the news that day, etc.

Wow. Just wow.
