Oh well. It had at least be better than the last one or I will be angry.
I use my cellphone.
NPR has a broadcast number? Or do you mean using the stream via your phone?
You can do that? Should I just get on my rascal now, or is there something I'm missing?

I want to see such meaningful depth on the various policy proposals and issues from this public radio debate that it puts cable media to such repentant shame that Wolf Blitzer weeps crimson tears of agony whilst ripping out fistfulls of his beard live in the situation room asking for forgiveness and penance from the journalism gods as Jack Cafferty looks on, laughing.
That, or the issue of infrastructure retention, repair, and advancement be given a good bit of time given its absence of prior debates. You know, either or.
This format is actually something I can look forward to. We're so prone to judging people, politicians no less than most, by their appearance, which is only natural but can become a focus it has no place being. I'll be interested to judge the candidates' responses to questions without having said judgments impaired by whether they're fidgeting or what color their tie is.
Kucinich will probably seem more appealing, for one.
I doubt this. Trust me, it's not his lack of good looks that makes him unappealing.
If it was, he could just have his wife as arm candy at every debate.
MWO: Adamski
Then again, talk radio is usually an abomination, so who knows.
EDIT: ElJeffe said it better.
Fail.
No, actually, he only won because of some very democratic cemeteries in Chicago. Never understimate the influence of the zombie vote.
Also, nothing can make Kucinich seem more appealing.
Nixon more melted off the screen than popped.
Use the stream that werehippy provided, that's what I'll be doing once I'm at work.
Elizabeth Kucinich?
Does your question make for a good soundbite and contain no real poignancy whatsoever? Then you stand a chance. Just make sure the question involves no nuance. If you actively demand a simple yes or no answer in your question, I think it triples the odds of it being selected. Something like, "Yes or no, do you support the use of military force?"
Don't forget about blatantly biased questions which allows the channel to wash its hands of the editorializing. Afterall, some people want to know. Not us of course, because we're totally not biased dicks, but those people over there. Hoo boy, what assholes they are. And they need equal representation and time before our national audience.
bonus points if it creates a running "controversy" for the pundits to talk about for the next 48 hours.
