I know each of my American political junkies surely watch at least one of the TV prime-time talk and opinion shows, whether it's Hannity and Colmes, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Keith Olbermann, or Chris Matthews. The MSNBC wing tends to hate both the CNNHN (Headline News) and Fox wings, and the same can be said about the other two. Keith particularly hates "Bill-O" and, to a lesser degree, Glenn. The feeling is mutual for Glenn about Keith.
I tend to watch them all, well, with the exception of O'Reilly. He's almost as annoying to me as Rush Limbaugh (a good friend of Beck's), and I just can't bear to watch or listen to him for long. But I enjoy watching both Glenn and Keith, and sometimes Chris Matthews ("Hardball" host). On occasion I'll watch Hannity and Colmes, but it's a rare thing. I come from the school that says to get both sides of every issue, and whether they admit it or not, Keith and Glenn agree much more than they disagree. Both serve a great service to the First Amendment, and I believe both only want the best for this country. At one time or another, both have said some very stupid things, but no human is perfect.
We really need to stop criticizing each other for their views and start getting ALL the facts. Republican, Democrat, Independent... it doesn't matter! We're Americans, and we need to start acting like it.
And Tom, investigate the superdelegate from Wisconsin, last name Rae. He seems too young and fishy. Let me - and your readers - what you find out.

Lynx, I'm familiar with him. He was a party activist at 14, and was elected by his state party to the DNC when he was 17. He is now 21 and has never voted in an election, but he could be a factor choosing the Democratic nominee. In my opinion, all delegates to the convention should be pledged to support the candidate chosen by the voters they represent. Super delegates are not and as such are anti-democratic.
