I don't what I would have done without you!

Superb coverage. Better than superb coverage.

A true assest to the nation!

edited because I'm so excited I can't type correctly.

5. Hell yes

I have not watched 1 second of NON-CSPAN coverage and I am not contemplating suicide this evening. :)

12. been there too.
the whole purpose of cable news is to prompt democrats to weed ourselves out of the gene pool. That's why du and other liberal websites double as support groups for me.

6. They're really praising the speech, too
Actually analyzing the speech in detail, but also they've said that since Kerry didn't brutally bash Bush*, if Bush* and the GOP does in NY, then they stand a very good chance of losing the swing voters, because they couldn't rise up to the level the Democrats were at.
Hell yeah.

Not a single peep during the entire speach, but when the speach was over, Peter Jennings said "There is only one other thing like it, of course, and that is inauguration day."

31. Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How anybody could suffer through the b-s of CNN, FAUX NOOZ, and all the other insufferable talking heads is beyond me, when all you have to do is put on C-SPAN and it's like you are THERE. Cruise control. No talking heads, no commercials, no spin. Thanks C-SPAN!

46. Some republican Witch just called and said we will be paying
for years for the mistakes of Clinton...They are so fucking out of touch.

Then she gripped about Edwards wife not standing up at one point when they were praising John E.

Finally coverage that doesn't treat me like I need to have what I just heard and saw explained to me. I swear the other networks think their entire audience is made up of Beavis and Butthead..
