Kennedy / Romney debates, that's some good stuff. Maybe they're on You Tube.

He seems so smart, so personable.
Saves people from burning buildings. I like him.
Irvine511 said:The two rumors I heard regarding his singleness:
1. He's dating a white woman. Could e problematic in areas of Newark.
2. He's gay, is on the soft DL, and therefor will never seek national office, at least in the foreseeable future.
But who knows? I want to live with hope.
MrsSpringsteen said:He criticized Obama for something.
Why that's a problem I have no idea. I love that, honest fair criticism instead of forced blind loyalty.
I love that he has the you know what to do that.
Booker generated controversy on May 12, 2012 when he appeared on Meet The Press as a surrogate for the re-election campaign of Barack Obama and made remarks which were critical of that campaign.[54] Booker stated the attacks on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital were "nauseating to me on both sides. It's nauseating to the American public. Enough is enough. Stop attacking private equity. Stop attacking Jeremiah Wright."[54] Some objected to Booker's remarks because Romney has made those claims about job creation at Bain central to his campaign. Others criticized Booker saying his comments were motivated by his closeness to and dependence on Wall Street donors. The comments were subsequently utilized by the Romney campaign against Obama.[55] Booker made followup comments clarifying that he now believed Obama's attacks on Romney's record at Bain were legitimate, but did not retract his point about attacking private equity in general.[56] Two weeks later, Booker's communications director Anne Torres tendered her resignation, although she maintained it was unrelated to Meet the Press.
MrsSpringsteen said:How old is he? Too bad people make an issue of his single status. He's super cute.
Could see him running for POTUS . If he's gay well who cares. That would be a damn shame, if he couldn't because of that.

I never watch MSNBC so I left that one out, but I knew they'd be covering it too. I think it would be all kinds of entertaining to watch the DNC on FOX
I think I will try to only watch PBS coverage. The only talking head at MSBC I can stand is Maddow and even she isn't enough to get me to watch the rest. And the less said about FauxNews the better.
this from someone who claims there's no dog whistles anywhere?
I think it could also be complete cynicism about politics. Why watch when it's same old same old and none of it will change your life. Not that Honey Boo Boo will.
Why didn't they have Cory Booker in prime time?
GOP will get tons of mileage out of taking the word God out of the platform.
I thought that was a really great tribute to Ted Kennedy; I thought it was kind of ingenious to put the Kennedy/Romney debate footage in it.
Emotional stuff. It's too bad that he's gone.
The dream will never die. The dream lives on.
indeed you should!The two rumors I heard regarding his singleness:
1. He's dating a white woman. Could e problematic in areas of Newark.
2. He's gay, is on the soft DL, and therefor will never seek national office, at least in the foreseeable future.
But who knows? I want to live with hope.
Didn't he get into some trouble a while ago when he said something - I don't remember exactly, something about Wall Street I think - that Dems weren't happy about? I remember the guy being referred to as a 'traitor'.
He criticized Obama for something.
Why that's a problem I have no idea. I love that, honest fair criticism instead of forced blind loyalty.
I love that he has the you know what to do that.

Ugh, Fox all i'd do is end up yelling at the TV.
why don't you like Ed Schultz, Lawrence O'Donell, or Rev Sharpton ?
can't comment on Chris Mathews b/c i've almost never seen him.
i can usually only watch Broadcast TV so i only get to see these folks (MSNBC) on rare occasions at my sib's house.
And my rabbit ears can hardly ever bring my local PBS station.
my computer is either too old or needs updating that i can't do for certain tech reasons as i currently understand it.
Howver it usually is good enough for streaming Sound so i suddenly thought of and goggled up C-SPAN (part poluicy wonk ) Radio most of the time this evening, then night.
As a rule I hate cable news. I'm not am not a fan of most talking heads, either too shouty or smug. However, Maddow is measured and witty. Love her so very much. Fox News would be dangerous for my TV.
