Seems like an eternity!

I want to compare it to the coverage that will be given to Obama and Biden today.

1. On the other hand, if people see McCain struggling to read a speech,
it might make them think twice about pulling the lever for him.

2. No kidding....what a joke.
Though for anyone with thinking skills, it's an opportunity to see how lame, weak, and dishonest these two are.

The trouble is how few have thinking skills.

4. He is on every cable channel right now.
They are showing his speech in its' entirety. Then they will show Obama for about 2 minutes. Gee...How fair and balanced. As soon as Obama rises in the polls, they quit showing him. I wonder who the corporate media wants in the White House???

8. Why are they able to do that, and not be called out for
Bias?

5. just like the RNC convention
they showed EVERYTHING at the RNC convention, including all of the primetime video tributes, while all they did at the DNC convention was moan about how there was no "red meat" WHILE not showing any of it...many networks didn't even show Kerry! And then they try to use the excuse "Oh, well the Republicans just TIMED it better so there would be no room for analysis in between." Bullshit! They purposely TALKED OVER many good speakers at the DNC, when people were still on...it had nothing to do with the scheduling.

7. So they showed both McCain & Palin for their entire speech each.
When is Obama scheduled to have a rally today? And Joe Biden.

Because I will be demanding equal time.....

9. I do get your point, and I agree that it seems...
McC/P get more coverage at their events, but I really think it's working in Obama's favor. The more we see 'em, the less we like 'em. It's so obviously contrived and shallow. Like the coverage.
