Conventions in HD?

[Tom Snyder]

I can learn all about the Packer game by reading about it on Monday morning in the Journal and listening to The Homer on Monday night. Someone convince me that I need to watch the game on Sunday afternoon.

The implication is that there is content and sublety lost from the translation from a speech to a transcript.  My contention would be that any such content is irrelevant to the process of objectively determining a viable political platform and candidate.  I don't care if s/he looks good, speaks well (within reason) or has cool media presentations.  I care that s/he has good ideas, reasonable plans for implementing them, and a good case for those ideas versus the opponent's.  

I wouldn't want to watch a football event where the only players ever displayed on the screen were wearing green and gold and no plays were ever run against anyone.  A football game is a debate (of sorts), the convention is more like some twisted political version of that Chicago sports show SNL used to have skits about.

Back to the reason we are here on this board.

The PQ on HDnet was Awesome!!!!!

I kept switching back and forth between network feed and HD on HDnet. I kept the sound off of course so my ears didn't bleed from the BS, but the PQ was so outstanding that you could read the buttons on the people in the audience. The network feed just showed blurry heads in a crowd.

Once again, Mark Cuban rules!!!

Excellent coverage by both HDNET and INHD. Thanks  Mr. Cuban and Japanese DTV broadcasters for giving us coverage of all the events the networks fail to cover. I don't understand why PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox could not cover this as well.
