These are usually quiet conversations where participants can flesh out long thoughts without interruption.<br>The nature of Public Broadcasting is that it is relatively less likely to pander to sensationalism.

If Clinton is more popular in NY they it is reasonable to assume that She would have a better chance against McCain. Why would you not believe that? I realise it is more complicated that that, some state will go Dem no matter what so it doesn't matter who did better and a hundred different little thing but, So what? This election is a bit more interesting than many but few of us want to get that deep into the minuta. Speaking of which have you found anyone to dispute the claim? I mean on it surface it would seem simplistic but likely to be general correct for what it's worth. What the hell else are they supposed to go on?
