I ask you if you are a true Obama supporter or a true Clinton supporter please do not engage in the back and forth on this site…the Repubs have blogger's they pay to cause distention with in the Democratic party…so those Hill people being attacked, it is by a paid repub and fro those Obama supporters the same thing…the repubs are about keeping the status quot, they have the money and resources to try to divide us…dont let them, remember united we stand

I constantly hear from CNN about how Obama has some "challenge" or other, or the Democrats have a "challenge", or they're being "challenged" by a pundit.

McCain and the Republicans apparently don't have challenges. They have nothing they need to prove? They don't have anything they need to show to the American people?

What a joke.

I watched CNN's coverage of the convention from 7:00 pm to 11:30 pm Tuesday night and I was frustrated because I felt that CNN was choosing what part of the convention we see, who we get to hear and for how long.
Much of the commentary was about how there was no meat, no spark to get people excited. Well, maybe you should have let us hear Nancy Pelosi – after all she is Speaker of the house. Instead of TELLING us what is good, bad, interesting, etc. Let us see for ourselves.
Tonight I have been watching on CSPAN and I feel that now I am seeing the actual convention – not through the filter of your coverage, but just as it is. Yes, some of the speakers are a little dull, but I am getting more of a feel for what is really going on, and frankly, they are no more dull than you guys are when you try to fill up airtime with the same questions and observations over and over again.
I actually feel you are doing a disservice to the voting public. Aren't we smart enough to watch it all and come to our own conclusions?

Mmmm. CNN appears to be paying absolutely no attention at all to what is going on at the convention.

This is just plain weird.

Jennifer Granholm is on the stage. Thanks for the info & not letting us hear her speech. Now let's hear our panel regurgitate the same crap over again for the tenth time.
We are so furious at the CNN coverage. Maybe if these talking heads would shut up and let us listen to the speakers there would be a message. The commentators keep saying that nothing is happening at the podium. Well, how about a new concept. Shut up & let the people hear what is being said. I have never watched a convention so poorly televised.

So all you pundits: SHUT UP !! AND BROADCAST THE CONVENTION!

PLEASE STOP the constant factoid trivia across the bottom of the CNN screen–It distracts, is boring, adds nothing and takes up a third of the screen!! What is wrong with you? Don't you know we are tuned in for the convention trivia, not YOUR version of TRIVIA!. PLEASE!

no disrespect but Gergen needs to shut up!
Reporters are talking through the substance
Reporters are talking through the substance!!!

Go to C-SPAN!!!!!!!!

If Gergen all the other haters would go they would see the issues are being discussed not analysis by pundits…. Show us the "red meat " CNN!

all I am seeing is uneducated and ilogical talks on issues, Bush was poor Leadership But who controlled the House and senate?? and what did they do to stop Bush? NOTHING they showed Poor Legislative ability's and energy to do anything! Barrack Obama Has no plans and has no Voting on issues record, he has Nothing, Look at the senate Voting has he voted since he started campaigning? NO, Poor Leadership for an upside down party! for the First time in my Life I am Voting for a Republican President! McCain is Not Bush and if you were smart enough to pay attention to Voting in senate McCain was criticized often for not Voting along with Bush and the Majority of the republicans! its funny what republicans are endorsing Obama with hopes of Cabinet Jobs! when the Democratic Party goes right side up again then I will see if I can Vote that way again!

I can't believe my home state stooped as low as to hold the democratic national convention and taint the fertile soils of the front range…boooooo

I'm sitting here for hours listening to CNN who knows no more than most any informed and educated person already knows. Who will win the World Series this year? Let us watch the Super Bowl, don't show it behind you and take about it. Come on Wolf!

I am a loyal CNN watcher all the time and a Obama supporter. I have been watching all your coverage and I would like to see more of the convention and less of all of you talking.You keep saying the same thing over and over. I would have liked to have heard the Iowa Flood Victim as I was at the roundtable with Obama and her. I would like to see more speaker and LESS of your talk.
I know you repeat all the time normally but when there are speakers to listen to PLEASE let us hear them.

Thank you for your time R P

Terrible coverage by CNN. All we've been given are rows of talking heads complaining about the lack of message while speakers are on the podium delivering that message, but not being heard because the reporters are talking endlessly. Thank God for public TV and CSpan–without the other stations we would have a week of David Gergen and the others talking to themselves or the other reporters and leaving the American voter out of one of our own conventions. Worst coverage I've ever watched.

How would you know what was being said? You and the rest of the verbose, listen to me talked right through the speakers like the union reps and the Gov. of Arizona, complaining that no one was taking on McCain or presenting Obama's policies.

Guess what they showed ALL of the speeches, trusting the voters that they don't need your BS, and let us hear their criticsma and the policies they supported for ourselves.

Too much Clinton, too much map too much you and Carvelle.

PBS all the way!!

Why – for sake – are you complaining about the Democrats needing to get specific about things like their tax plans when you are talking all over the speeches that do, in fact, address exactly those specificities???

Your coverage is a little better than yesterday, but the questions I had then still stand:

Why are you complaining the convention needs to address this and that but then don't actually listen to what is said? Why is your only theme the wildly overblown Obama-Clinton competion when at the same time you are saying that the Democrats need to get their message out? Why are you all there in Denver when you could have your discussion rounds just as well in the usual places?

Is this a news coverage or a pundit coverage?

David, would Kay Bailey Hutchinson's position on Roe v. Wade be a problem with the Rush Limbaugh crowd??

Wait, and please wait!

Is the Democratic party about the Clintons (i.e., Hillary) or the Democratic Party?

Why did the Clintons not dominate the Gore and Kerry nomination processes? Gore was Bill's VP for 8 years…

America has, and continues to take advantage of the Black Man!! Americans may be blind to this fact, but the WORLD that is watching America is NOT blind! A Black Man fought hard and won, plain and simple!!!!

How long does it take for moderation of comments critical of CNN's Boring coverage>? Let me moderate, shut up and let the people watch the convention.

As a long time CNN fan I have finally changed the channel. The coverage of the convention is shameful. This is not a Clinton coronation nor a place for McCain's attack dogs. Those that are tuned in are only tuned in to watch the democrats celebrate this election. I hope your bad judgment shows up soon on your ratings and then you'll have more to worry about than the polls in this election.
OBAMA 08

Why don't Americans read the subjects the candidates voted on. It is available on different web-sites and is public. You even can read what the political candidates are up to by looking in their background. Even if they seem to do good work look at the info of the company's they worked for
and make up your mind. It takes same time and work but I can tell you it is very important for America that every body take this serious.

I hope the supporters of Hillary Clinton realize that her and Barrack Obama have one major thing in common, that they both in agreement that the worst possible thing that could happen would be for John McBush I mean John McCain to win! I have a hard time believing that some supporters are thinking about voting for McCain because they feel Hillary was disrespected and are mad. The republicans are loving this and laughing at the same time.Come on people what is more important ! If Barrack Obama loses because Hillary supporters switch sides they will be mad too. I hope after her appearance tonight,and her speech supporting Barrack Obama you come to your senses.Do you really think Hillary Clinton would get the backing of the more than 18 million voters who supported Barrack Obama if she ran for president in 2012 ? The republicans win again, how depressing.

To me this is simple no Hillary then no Obama.

Whether McCain nominates a woman as veep will not change the Bush economics that shipped my job and healthcare to China, foreclosed my home and literally blocked credit options for ordinary Americans.

Come rain or shine, Romney or Hutchinson, my vote goes to Obama.

Angry Republican

It would be more interesting if they would show the convention. I have been watching since the begining and ALL they are showing is there analysts comments.

From my perspective what is lacking at the DNC convention has something to do with your the media. The Analysts, Commentators, and Strategists on stage. Shouldn't the media be there to set a tone?!? I think they are painting the wrong image! The question I pose to them is where is "their" enthusiasm, excitement, and support? Basically, all I'm hearing is a lot of negatism!!

Supporters as myself, don't want to hear all the reasons as to why he (Barack) has to work so hard, and hearing it's an uphill battle for him! True, there are Republican strategists there and this talk is to be expected from them.

Why aren't they getting out in the audience and interviewing some of the voters and campaign workers… the real people???

Proud Democrat,
Susan

Please! Please! Please, can't somebody 86 that inane 'sound from the floor' meter.

How can the viewers "get excited", if all we see is the talking heads??? Let the viewers hear at least most of the speeches…..the public is not going to go online to hear it..they are watching YOU for that!! Show the convention and let the talking take place on your normal shows!!

Excuse me CNN, can you have your commentaries duck down and lower their voices I'm trying to hear the speeches.

Nothing changes. Was for Hillary. Now for McCain.

Hillary is qualified to be president.
McCain is qualified to be president.
Obama is NOT qualified to be president.

It's as simple as that…..and no one's pretty words these next few days, not even Hillary's, will change that.

McCain 2008!

Dear Obama: Can you answer this questions to me and I will vote for you? Where are you going to get from all those funds to comply with your promises, specially universal health care?

David Gergen have great ideas
When general election comes democratic party never do much
Only Bill Clinton fight back
Hillary 2012 / Mc Cain 2008

You're right Mary Jo! Carville gets it!

Don't believe in God? Don't believe He is pro-active? Don't believe He cares about America?

Then someone please explain the selection of Biden for v.p. If Obama had given the Republicans permission to choose his v.p., they couldn't have done any better (or worse, depending on which party you favor).

That self-destructive move has God's name written all over it. Praise God and His infinite wisdom! Bless the children!!

I am a life-long democrat who will vote for McCain this year. To those who are waving the Roe/Wade banner, McCain will face a Congress with the Democrats in control. Anyone he nominates for the Supreme Court will be a Moderate or they will never get through Congressional approval. McCain in 2008/Hillary in 2012 and I hope she learned a lesson this time around on how to run a campaign.

Obama is exploiting the great people of this country by having them share their hardships at the DNC..shame on him!!

I would appreciate if you would explain in more detail the civil war going on in the DNC. On the one hand we have the Clinton's who while obviously having no problem with corporate money maintained a populist attitude for the last 32 years. On the other hand you have Uncle Ted, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, and Donna Brazile: rich evil scum, whom only seek to advance themselves. You need to explain to people that they are not really voting for Obama, they are only voting to put a new head on the DNC. Obama was in no position to let women share in America, because he would have had to go against his bosses. Their whole purpose in this election was to cut off the Clinton Head of the party. Check out Howard Dean's history. This is all personal to him. He hates Bill Clinton, because Clinton spent a lot of money against him. People need to stop deluding themselves that the Obamas are anything more than Howard Dean's mouthpiece. We hear that they are threatening us with Roe v. Wade. That just shows how out of touch they are. Fundamentalists have already ridded us of a right to choose with shooting doctors and terrorizing teenagers in great tracts of this country. You just have to ask yourself, who do you want making decisions in these troubling times, people who use the bottom line and polls to make decisions or patriots who will sacrifice something of themselves for their country. I would have liked to see Hillary in the White House. She would have brought Obama with her. But, since Pelosi and crew are pushing it this far, I will vote for McKinney. I know that puts a fascist in the white house. At least the trains will run on time, as they say. Better than organized crime and fundie wannabes anyday. They'll be burning people at the stake. Think about it. Bush is running at 20% approval. This election was a slam dunk. To even come this close to losing to the Republicans, just so Pelosi and Brazile and Dean can advance in personal power and corporate draw. That is traitorous. Pure and simple. Add to that they have set suffrage back 100 years. I can't stomach this. It is just to evil. How exactly is Hillary supposed to make that go down smooth? Not happening.

With all due respect to David Gergen and the rest of the best political team on television – its extremely frustrating as a viewer to hear comments like "the convention isn't giving a clear message, isn't fast paced enough, isn't engaging enough…" etc. when you all are talking all over the speakers. I have been watching CNN's coverage for hours and have barely seen any of the actual convention. I just keep seeing James Carville and other talking heads… talking. Please – get off the TV and let us watch the convention. Actually cover the news. I want to see what the democrats have to say – not Wolf. Please. Otherwise, I got to switch to CSPAN – they are actually covering the convention.

Did you know that McCain will privatize Social Security? Like that plan? Wall Street does. Wall Street brokers stand to make TRILLIONS off this warmed-over McBush plan.

That’s McCain’s gift to Wall Street.

How about McCain's health care "Plan"? Know what it consists of?

TAXING the 160 MILLION Americans who get health insurance at work. He would then force people who presently have group coverage into the single coverage market. His “subsidy” for these poor souls would not begin to cover the actual health care costs, and it would not keep up with inflation.

That’s McCain’s gift to the health care industry – already the most expensive and least effective “system” in the developed world.

Wrong-way McCain. That’s what we should call him.

And that's just for starters.

Hillary's speech will be the highlight of the convention for me.

Rudy is awful! why are you good people interviewing him????

That has to be why you seem to be so misinformed.

If you think the Dems are pro-woman then why all the hatred for Hillary right now and her lack of support for Obama?

You all are the same folks who thought Kennedy's speech was so heartfelt and praised him like some sort of hero.

Ted Kennedy lost the primary to Jimmy Carter. But he didn't back down. He took his fight to the convention floor. He barely shook Jimmy's hand at the convention. And if I remember correctly, Jimmy lost that election. But no one seems to blame Kennedy today.

So that's okay? He's still a hero?

Clinton did back down and is being somewhat civil. She even called Michelle Obama after her speech.

So why is she different? Because she's a woman?

Think about it folks. There's a huge double standard here. Even some of the Obama supporters who are women don't even realize the sexism that's going on.

The Obama campaign made one major mistake. They should have hired David Gergen to run the strategy for the convention and as a major advisor from the time he won the nomination through the election. David get's it. The convention is very dull. Teddy and Michelle did a fantastic job last night, but we have a major challenge in the midwest due to Hillary not being on the ticket. I did not vote for her in our primary, but I do think that we would have the chance to win in a landslide with her. Biden is a fantastic guy, but Hillary would have made the job to get Barak to get elected alot easier. We really have our work cut out for us and the Republicans are so nasty. The McCain ads during the convention on CNN are in such bad taste! Obama Campaign, please hire David Gergen as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!We need him badly!!!!!!!!!

James Carville is so Hillary driven that he simply cannot speak positively about anything else…. he will knock every single thing about this convention except for Bill and Hillary speeches. He will glorify Bill and Hillary to the nth degree, and everything else will be negative.
Please CNN, get rid of him!
Put Jack Cafferty on the panel…. he's the best of the best!

Blend these messages? You gotta be kidding. The Democrats have not shown any signs of being able to blend anything. The Democratic Party is up to its oldest trick: nominating a candidate who cannot win a national election.

James Carville is the only person so far that has given interest of any kind to the convention so far. Yes Kennedy was moving, and Michelle was "sweet," but let's get to the point!!!! I hope Hillary pulls through.

I can't help none of you little ones, who beleived in this Idiot! You have to decide, and there is no second chance…. Just one mistake!!!
So? you say… Don't tell me, tell your own kids in another ten-years….

When something doesnt go right with Obama everyone blames the Clinton's. Is he ever going to take responsibility for anything he does to himself? It's so sad that some Americans are so desperate to get a Democrat in the White House that they will take this guy with no experience or leadership just so the Republicans don't get a shot at the job again. After everything Obama has been doing to derail Hillary, can someone tell me again how the Republicans are worse than the Democrats??

To the "33and 1/3…" – Why should you to respond to a REPUBLICAN reaching out to you? Are you a Democrat or what? You must be one of the spoiled brats crying foul when your personal preferences are not honored by the rules. Obama won the DEMOCRATIC nomination and should expect any Democrat to vote the party. You would expect the same if Hillary won. If you want more of the same Bush policies for 4 more years, I would question your mental capacity; your emotional immaturity has already been displayed.

Jeanette. Please fill in for Carville.

FORTUNATELY FOR THE AMERICAN VOTER , THE MAJOR 3 NETWORKS ASIDE (REALLY PUT THEM ASIDE FOR BIAS)
WE NOW HAVE A REAL INDEPENDENT VOICE FROM THE NOW NUMBER ONE POLITICAL NETWORK ( THE RATINGS ON THIS ONE NETWORK ARE ENORMOUS)WHICH IS NONE OTHER THAN CNN , BECAUSE OF TWO REALLY UNBIASED JOURNALIST AND ANCHORS : LOU DOBBS AND WOLF BLITZER. LOU DONNS IS THE UNDISPUTED INDEPENDENT AND HAS HIS OWN RADIO TALK TOO. TO TOP ALL OF THIS LOU DOBBS WILL HAVE AN INDEPENDENT CONVENTION (FOR WHO ELSE?..INDEPENDENTS) IN SEPTEMBER AFTER THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. IT WILL BE IMPORTANT IN THAT IT MAY DECIDE THE OUTCOME OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
RIGHT NOW MCCAIN HAS THE EDGE ON THE INDEPENDENTS.
SO FOLKS TUNE IN ON LOU DOBBS ON RADIO BUT ESPECIALLY
FOR HIS INDEPENDENT CONVENTION.

We are not as divided as the media suggests.

John McCain will reach out to you but only to get your vote – once he's elected he will forget you very fast.
I can hardly wait until he nominates consertative supreme court justices that over turn Roe vs. Wade – and reinstates the draft – and invades Russia. Then you'll be repaid in full for reaching out to John McCain.

To one of the 33 1/3 who say they will never vote for Obama:

Fine. There are still 66 2/3 very bright Americans who will. And we won't leave you out, my friend, of America's new Prosperity!

To the media: Stop disrespecting President Clinton. You have definitely enlightened me whom to cast my vote for . Hillary would have made the BEST president.

Thank you for a story that IS NOT about spinning the whole Democratic Divide that everyone is tired of hearing about. My relative is a delegate and she is telling me that the delegates from Obama and HRC are ready to unify.

So PLEASE no more stories fueling the flames. We know your for McCain, but enough already.

The more we are together. The more idiotic!!!!
George Jones!!!Listen… Brain-Dead Obama suporters…

only 13 mph faster than last evening…not lighten speed here

Uhhh let's get all the PUMA's on stage and let them cry, whine and moan for the rest of the convention. That's what we should be doing this year.

IT WAS AS THEY CALL IT A NO BRAINER TO PICK HILLARY CLINTON AS OBAMA'S VP CHOICE NUMBER ONE. LO AND BEHOLD
OBAMA PICKS JOE BIDEN WHO HAD JUST 6000 VOTES IN THE
PRIMARIES AND HAS 6% OF THE DELEGAYES TO THE CONVENTION PICKING HIM AS OBAMA'S CHOICE.
OBAMA TO BEGIN WITH HAS NO REMARKABLE RECORD EITHER AS A LEGISLATOR 4 YEARS AGO , EVEN LESS AS A 4 YEARS FIRST TERM SENATOR. MANY STILL SAY OBAMA HAS NO LEGS TO STAND ON TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE U.S..
AMERICANS ARE TAKING NOTES ON THESE OBAMA CREDENTIALS. AND HIS QUALIFICATIONS ARE LESS THAN ANY AMERICAN WOULD EXPECT IN THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

I hope it's not too much to ask of Mr. Gergan, the other panelists and the anchors that they try to dispay a reasonable facsimilie of honesty tonight.

It would be a pleasant surprise.

Clinton supporters that want to vote for McCain, BE MY GUEST.

You were never really about what Hillary Clinton stood for at all. We need affordable Healthcare. Women need real relief from a stifling economy, they need there son's out of this senseless war and they want the right to choose for themselves what takes place in their bodies.

You don't even have to take a hard look at McCain to see that his plans for America AREN'T GOING TO CUT IT.

A Clinton democrat that votes for McCain, was never really a Democrat to begin with.

I, for one, thought last night was extraordinary. I am so tired of the pundits giving their biased views. I don't want to hear them anymore, I just want to hear the speeches and try and pretend that I'm there. As far as those who say they were Clinton supporters and now will vote for McCain. That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard. It goes against all Clinton believes in, supports, promotes and it is a slap in the face of all her core values. Get over yourselves!!!!!!

Why is Hillary responsible for the win of the party, Why is she responsible for the loss of the party. Barack chose Not to unite the party by leaving her off the ticket. It's now HIS ALONE to win or lose.

CNN I hope you have the guts to put my comments up.

People need to actually hear the speakers at the convention speak. Your seem more interested in showing your pundits than actually SHOWING the convention

All I know is if another republican gets office again, we are in DEEP trouble. The country will be doomed by selfish self serving politics/policies of the wealthy! It's ignorant to think that we can get ahead with the views of John McCain.

Cnn to keep it fair. I hope you interupt the republican convention and interview democrats. Fair is fair.

Isnt it about time for Gergen to be put to pasture? He is clearly a republican and seems to be sleeping most of the time.You have to strain to hear him whenever he speaks.

what is she going to say that we have not heard?
that she is the nominee?
that she will never leave booba

ohh please
these people make me sick
however,
they are handing down (literally) the presidency to McCain and so what can i say

thank you hillary and bill, you are the people we can count on..

we know that if it is not you, you prefer death /or mccain bush to Obama

thank you Hillary we could not have made it without you,

Limbaugh was right..

a republican always a republican

I WOULD LIKE TO BE THE FIRST OBAMA SUPPORTER TO SAY TO ALL OF THE DEMOCRATS THAT WERE SUPPORTERS OF HILLARY CLINTON, THAT HAS HANDLE THIS ELECTION IN A GROWN AND MUTURE WAY AND WILL VOTE WITH YOUR FELLOW DEMOCRATS TO ELECT BARACK OBAMA AS OUR PRESIDENT. I KNOW A LOT OF COMMENTS (EVEN ONES THAT I HAVE STATED) WERE NOT RIGHT.

AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THINKING ABOUT MINE AND YOUR FUTURE.

THE LAST EIGHT YEARS HAS BEEN H_LL.

IF MCCAIN REALLY CARED ANYTHING ABOUT CLINTON'S ANGRY VOTERS, IF WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM THE SAME ATTENTION HE IS NOW CLAIM FOR THEM.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Mr. Gergen worked in the 'Bill Clinton' administration among others. Don't be nasty to my guy from Boston. He is the next Tim Russert as far as I am concerned. He is fair, honest and explains things that even I can understand, being an old white ignorant racist woman from Boston. Lay off my guy buddy !!!!!

Are you people (CNN) serious? Are you actually still trying to blame President Clinton for "picking on" poor B.H.Obama?
This is just sad… President Clinton is a GREAT Democrat who deserves the media's respect and yet you are still trying to make him (and his family) look bad…

You really suck.

How does a headline for Kucinich turn into a discussion on the Clintons? Come on CNN, do better that this. Leave the Clinton's out of the reporting for once, this is NOT about them!!

Where is the video for Kucinich speech??

It was amazing it seems, why don't you have this up??

Why is CNN so biased in their reporting? It's totally obvious who they are backing, but I'd expect the media to either be neutral or attack each candidate with the same vigor. That's just not occuring. What a shame.

I love seeing people who once backed hillary now backing mccain because it shows the ignorance of americans. we dont back policies or issues. I think hillary has completely ruined the clinton name

Its funny how Obama didnt even entertain the idea of vetting Hilary and now he DESPARATELY needs Hilary and Bill to beg people to vote for him.That dog aint huntin!Obama doomed hisself the day he chose Biden.Now the Republicans have all trhe ammo they need to rip Obama to shreds.It was a 'Dream" made in heaven,but now its crying time.
McCAIIN'08
HILARY'12
p.s.Thats how Hilary really wants it.

Carol Doty

I agree with you, the very same thing happened yesterday, CNN did not air all of the OPENING SPEECHES, (which were right on point and issue) but CNN REPORTERS JUST KEPT SAYING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE! THEY DELIBERATELY CHOSE TO DO THIS JUST TO MISLEAD THE PUBLIC!

Uh, I think CNN has been fair in thier coverage unlike MSNBC the Obama Home Network.

Let's vote for McCain so that he can demean women and take their right's to choose. We'd rather have that and more wars than Barack

Riiiightttttt! Get over yourselves miserable little PUMA people

Hey something Happened there?? I forgot to suck-Up to the Idiot Obama…. HOw do I please CNN???

Please, please the viewing public would love to see some of the speeches being given. We're tired of listening to all the talking heads of CNN. Cover the convention and quit giving your opinions.

I am watching the DNC convention on CNN, but I can't see what is going on the stage. I have only seen news people and special republican sent out to make this another word game. See if the only thing you hear is that the party is split, not ready, and war, got us into this in the first place. I am very upset with CNN, because Fox news is for the rich, we needed CNN on our side. With or without CNN we the people have to change.

why would anyone even mention Rudy G>>..>>name in same sentence as VP for Republicans…..Kay Bailey Hutchinson would be a GREAT choice….or Condi Rice….

I'm sick and tired of David Gergen and others sitting at the Democrat Convention and commenting on what Obama should do. CNN used to report the news. Now, instead of reporting the news, they sit and talk and do not show the speakers at the podium. They are turning me against CNN.. I guess I will change channels to PBS so I can see the convention.

Hi David Gergen,

Is there any way you can advise CNN to start broadcasting more of the convention speeches and less of Wolf Blitzer’s mouth?

Oh, , , , , , , , no, , , , , , , , , don't bother, , , , , , I just flipped to CSPAN where there is no talking-pundits, no interruptions and no Wimpy Wolf Blitzer who won't challenge the lies from the McCain camp, and keeps giving McCain free negative ad times.

Oh shut-up Gergen with your annoying voice. It amazes me how anyone can listen to you. Please, please shut-up. Your voice pitch is horrible.

Go to PBS the show the speakers NOT the spinners

I LOVE JAMES CARVILLE…. A DEVOTED HILL BILL SUPPORTER !!
Brazile has to go….BO supporter.
Gergen….great….Kay Bailey Hutchinison from my home state of Texas….wow that's enough to switch me from writing in Hillary's name to vote Repub.
James…..love you!
PUMA

McCain is not a flip-flopper… he is a PUPPET of big oil.

Charlotte,

Thank you, I thought that I was the only person who wondered about the Guiliani issue? Why did Wolf, and Campbell do this?Are they trying to derail the Dem. Convention?

Dems just don't get it. Nobody outside of them cares about the convention. It's boring and pisses people off who rather watch thier prime time tv shows or go to bed. You really think people in the East Coast are going to stay up at 10 o'clock to hear Clinton speak. Come on now. lol

David you are a lover of OBAMA

No bias-no bull? That's BULL

We don't care what you think…you are like McCain….from the past…you change your mind and nitpick….and love to hear the sound of your voice talking over the speakers that many viewers are now listening to without annoying babbling on CSAP or PBS.

CNN, fair and balanced? What a disappointment you've become.

To Hillary supporters who will be abandoning your candidate's wishes tonight when she asks you to actively support Senator Obama by supporting McCain, I have 3 words for you: Roe v. Wade.

5-4 is better than 6-3 against.

Think about what you're giving up if you vote for McCain.

I keep hearing your reporters talk about how the Democrats are not addressing the issues, but while they are talking, the speakers are addressing the issues. You are not there to cover it for the viewing audience.

Would someone please tell me…………………..

WHY IS IT THAT WOLF BLITZER AND CAMPBELL BROWN OF CNN, JUST FINISHED INTERVIEWING MAYOR RUDY GUILIANI AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION! WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

ALL THIS MAN DID WHILE THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IS GOING ON WAS TO CRITICIZE BARACK OBAMA……………….COMPLIMENTS OF CNN!

I HOPE THAT CNN WILL PROVIDE THE VERY SAME OPPORTUNITY TO THE BARACK OBAMA CAMPAIGN NEXT WEEK AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION!

CNN, SHAME…..SHAME…………..ON YOU!

jeanette fromCharlotte. you are so right

Gloria Borger is a good panelist, so is Donna Brazile.
David Gergen is okay. BUT, James Carville needs to GO!!!!!
He's a waste of space, a negative waste of space.

what right did guiliani have to speak at the convention tongiht?
i blame CNN for letting him do this. It is disgusting and I don't know if I will continue to watch CNN.

You were not fair to Hillary during the whole campaign and now you do this. Obama is our next president like it or not.

Wolf & Campbell I am disappointed in you both.

It's about time you just kept your opinions to yourself and kept your mouth shut. all the media. we can think for ourselves.

David is missing the point of changing the political culture of America. Red meat yes, but decent politics is very important and the key to Obama's success. He ascribes like MacCain to the old school politics. We are disgusted with attack politics.

Well, we should all be just thrilled that Gergen is happy…

NOTE TO READERS: Gergen is a Republican. Commenting on the Democratic convention. Take with a grain of salt.

It's called "concern trolling" and it is getting tiresome. "Oh, I hope that the Democrats get this right." Suuuuuuure.

Why is heck is CNN showing Rudy Guiliana during the Democratic Convention???????? He's a McCain attack dog, and no longer "The mayor of America." He lost that standing when he used 911 in every sentence during his campaign (same as John McCain is using POW to cover all his election mistakes).

So, to CNN, you support for John McCain is showing.

Not helping – Barack is down in the polls!
