Too bad Keith Olbermann wasn't the Senator from Wisconsin...

Maybe DUers would have gotten off their ass and helped save his seat.

Or at least posted half the amount of threads that a media personality gets.

10. Thanks, I could not afford to donate to anybody this cycle.

I know there were some. And I don't consider this a non-story but I think there is some middle ground between non-story and dozens of threads per day on on a story and that some people may be more deserving of such attention. And I'm grumpy. Thanks again for your contribution but my criticism still stands.

3. I kept thinking there was something wrong with the Finegold story.

Couldn't put my finger on it, but something seemed wrong there.

Although I though he would win, or should win, it keep seeming like there was some backwards reporting somewhere in there.

6. Hah! Good one. I saw several threads asking for GOTV help for Feingold...

They didn't stay up for long.

7. Very true. Media personalities are revered, Senators, not so much.

Posts requesting help for various Democratic candidates dropped like rocks. But Olberman threads dominate and will stay up for hours if not days.The point is well made about priorities.
