5. The clip above is proof.

It's not as if I claimed Russert said, "I heart Obama."

6. That is fair comment but an endorsement by Ted Kennedy is a pretty good one.

7. Russert don't heart Obama

For once Russert is stating the facts. More young people are getting out and voting and they are voting for Obama.

8. I just hope that these

young people don't have a party going on the day before election. They never show up after a party no matter who the candidate is. Very unpredictable. I have had experience with them on campaigns.

12. I'm a young person and I have run a few campaigns myself, my most energetic

and valuable volunteers have always been 20 somethings, perhaps it is your attitude that turns them off.

9. What is it about NBC that they

turn perfectly nice reporters into tools for the right. David Gregory is very partisan now.

10. He's not "wrong" per se, but he's doing it for his own reasons.

Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 06:59 PM by Gonnabuymeagun

If Obama is nominated they can deny him the election based on the "lack of youth turnout" and the lack of black turnout - which are (of course) key Democratic demographics and also among the most vulnerable to voter suppression tactics.

On edit: in other words I don't think it is an endorsement of Obama. I say again, the enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend. We should not judge our candidates by the opinions of others positive or negative, but form our own opinions.

11. David Gregory was read the riot act

for confronting the administration over its lies back in 04.

He�s now a good little soldier for the Corporate Army
