They have as their "reporter" a clear Bush operative and they aren't even really trying to hide it other than the fact that the woman is black. I can't believe what I'm seeing.

She's telling people why they should vote for a congressional candidate, and with a cheering cadence saying "what are you going to do make sure GEORGE BUSH GET'S RE-ELECTED!!!!!!"

1. Ohhh, give c-span a break! This is the Pub Convention ya know!
I haven't watched it this time, but during the Dem convention, they had very little "reporting", but just did the gavel to gavel as they promised.

Man, I tried..... but.......
AAR is much more interesting, and they are RIGHT, the RNC is a real snoozer. Notice the tepid applause? I was GLUED to the DNC for 4 days. The only thing I'd like to see is the protests, but my pute is too slow for 4 hour coverage, I guess. Clinton, at the church, was great, as was Wm Pitt's stuff.

Anyway, I'm back to AAR.

2. CSPAN was the ONLY
media outlet to show four hours of the protest yesterday. Truly they report and you decide.

3. Is that a cheap knockoff of a Van Halen song I hear?

7. Van Halen is sort of a cheap knock off of Van Halen these days.
What you are probably hearing is Van Hagar, The Republican.

Van Halen did not survive losing Diamond Dave.

6. That's true! I wonder if the person who was seen was just being
interviewed or something? During breaks, I think I remember c-span talking to some people on the floor.
