MSNBC seem to air more republican speakers
Is it me or is the Republican speakers getting more airtime than the Democratic speakers were giving last week. I ended up watching most of the DNC on C-Span because MSNBC would only air the big name Dem Speakers whereas with the RNC I see they've aired Meg Witman and now some lady name Carly Fiorina who's virtually unknown to most people but if I recall there was many democratic speakers they didn't not air including Dennis Kucinich and John Kerry and many more.

1. It seems that way
Though I don't think that's necessarily helping the GOP any! Boy, is she a dull speaker!

3. I think you are right. I've been hearing alot of the early speakers this week.
Maybe Chuck Todd is afraid his pundits will dis Palin and McInsane accidentally like Noonan and Murphy did earlier, so they are just talking less.

4. Their whole coverage has been biased in favor of McCain in spite
of the efforts of Keith and Rachel to bring some perspective to it.

5. Carly Fiorina is the ex-chairman of Hewlett Packard, and she has been canvassing for women votes
in Pennsylvania and other places for McCain for weeks now.

Fiorina is an excellent speaker, and she will be a formidable weapon for McCain.

6. Criticized
I think the media got some general criticism that the pundits were flapping too much, and may have revised their efforts this time around.

But the speakers seem organized more back-to-back then the Dems were. The Dems through music and other things in between the speakers, which allowed the pundits more time to talk.

Those two ladies were boring speakers, though. Why are all the crowd shots of people talking to each other?
