I have yet to see CSpan pan to show the size of the crowd in Des Moines!

Why is that?

I know most of the senior people involved in CSPAN and have worked with a number of them going back over 20 years. You're wrong.

Why? Because our First Lady is speaking right now and she is so beautiful, so sincere, and so moving that they can not take their cameras away from her

I remember from past rallies in 2008, that is clearly over 50k people.. it's 2-3 blocks long.

They had Obama's mike isolated, like the time they caught the "Dean scream."

What a bunch of jerks!
