6. I believe all the networks
are possible providers of the pool feed, and events like this are chosen by lottery.

14. To me that's not such a negative thing.
Yes, I disapprove of Fox doing the pool for the Democratic national Convention but I will NOT vote for Hillary in th NY primary, UNLESS She starts making noise like a progressive on the senate floor to repeal and replace Medicare Part D and go for HR 676 too.

Until then I support Edwards, unless Al Gore runs.

4. Let me guess
They will tape-delay until 3 in the morning and run all of their commercials for the day during it?

7. No
it's a pool feed - it doesn't mean Fox news is the only network that will cover it. They will just provide the video feed.
