Who else will be watching the DNC RBC Meeting tomorrow?
C-SPAN will be showing it live beginning at 9:30am EST. I plan on wasting this Saturday in front of the television. Should be interesting...

2. I plan to watch as much as I can
First thing in the morning I have to go pick up tickets to go see Obama on Monday ( :woohoo: ) and then go grocery shopping. Then I can plop myself down to watch the meeting until my daughter and I go to see Sex and the City later in the day.

4. So are they going to hype the protesters for Hillary?
Any other protest you wouldn't even see on MSM, but this one...

6. Whose idea was it to have it so fucking early on a Saturday?
Were they hoping Hillary and her gang would be hungover and miss the whole thing?

7. Sorry. It's my 69th birthday and I'm not doing it anymore...
:evilgrin:

I mean "talking politics" anymore!

Grandpa and I will be taking the grandkids to see a preview of "Kung Fu Panda" at a local theater.

Then my daughter and son-in-law have invited us over for brunch.

I've had it up to here with this primary season.

Bring on the candidate, whoever it may be. Leave room for some discussion about the VP, but right now, I don't really know who would bring strength to the ticket. Hillary? Another white woman governor? Another white woman senator? Another Hispanic governor? Hey, choose who you want and leave me out of it.

Cordially,

Radio Lady in Oregon

31. Hey, thanks. (Hope you loved your mother!)
Appreciate the toast and back at you!

:toast:

Three more Pacific hours to go. I was born in Pittsburgh, but can't recall the time of day.

Have a wonderful day tomorrow, me b zola --

The weekend weather in Portland looks like it will cooperate.

How nice!

Cordially,

Radio Lady Ellen

44. I loved her very much
She was a strong and passionate woman, a woman with an intense sense of self-esteem. She passed in Jan of '03, I think about her everyday--I miss her deeply.

I hope you have a joyous birthday week-end. :toast:

HEY! The grandkids are here! Yeah...that's the ticket! I'll make THEM pull weeds and I'LL watch C-SPAN!

9. I'll watch it. It's also going to be covered by MSNBC. Rachel just
said she was going to be on there. I like her, and I'll probably switch between MSNBC & C-SPAN.

39. Please correct me If I'm wrong




But I thought MSNBC's coverage started at 9:30. I think Chris Matthews and Nora O'Donnell (will she be laughing) will anchor the coverage.


The best reporter this political season, Chuck Todd should be there too.

35. The morning session starts at that time
Morning session is scheduled to be presentations by lawyers, the 2 campaigns and the 2 states for them all to make their case.

Afternoon session is the vote (maybe discussion, I'm not sure).

18. not me, taking the grandboys to Daytona to see some racecars
for Kindergarten graduation. But, I hear that Chris Matthews and Omann will be on Sunday beginning at 2 pm for analysis.....

Hope I don't have a run-in with any of them Conservative Nascar fans wearing Bush or McShame t-shirts since I will have my Obama pin on.

19. I will be ... even if I'm as impaired as I currently am
thanks to too many vodka-tons (vodka and tonics).

I'll be up tomorrow morning even if I don't go fully
to sleep tonight ...

21. Is it on C-SPAN 1 or 2?
Anyone know? The Comcast guide did not say. Not sure why my mom wants to tape a meeting we'll be attending in person, but she wants to tape it.

24. The next 5 days are going to be heaven for political junkies
Plan to watch CSPAN's stream online once I get up and follow developments on DU. Have set the timer on my DVD-R's to record both MSNBC/CNN starting at 9 a.m. ET as I have for all major events since the first CNN Youtube debate last year.

The next day is PR primary day and CNN/MSNBC start coverage at 2 PM ET. I'll be recording those again and following the action here on DU.

Then Tuesday will be MT/SD "officially claim the nomination night" for Barack hopefully. More recording.

Then Wednesday HRC likely concedes. Will be recording all day Wednesday to record that historic event as well!

Politics is my LIFE.

I will be watching and recording MSNBC. My second DVR tuner will be recording CNN. For some reason I am really looking forward to it.

It's almost just like election night, except I don't have to stay up real late only to fall asleep to Dan Abrams late night jazz band!
