Before You Vote, Listen!

by at 4:52 pm.

I always forget to plug the Left Ahead podcast, but I still do them most weeks, and today we interviewed Ed O’Reilly, who is challenging John Kerry for the Democratic nomination.

You know. In that election thing that’s happening next Tuesday. (So get your ass out to vote.)

But before you head to the polls, and since the media has done a less than bang-up job of covering this race, you can maybe get informed by listening to our interview (which was conducted live at 2:30 today) online.

You can also see the pathetically-short Jon Keller-moderated pre-taped debate which stupidly aired at 8:30am on a Sunday. Go democracy. Oh well, better than nothing.

(Update: we did ask John Kerry to also join us for a call-in show but were told he was too busy. We also had this request months ago. Anyway, just wanted to be sure that everyone understood we did want to be fair, but we only got an interview with Ed O’Reilly. I think you’ll agree we did ask some uncomfortable questions in our interview with him.)

    are you saying that John Keller is pathetically short?

    I have to admit, I am considering voting in the D primary if only to vote for O’Reilly and whomever is running against Kennedy.

  2. K-R-S Says:

    Well shawn, you can always go the other way in the generals!

  3. K-R-S Says:

    O’Reilly’s challenge to Kerry’s seat, has stirred little interest from Kerry’s campaign. Um…one debate? Wow! Cripes, running for local office, we were at least offered several opportunities to Q & A and such & took them up (most of us).

    LOL Shawn, no I was saying that for a democratic process, one 20 minute debate is pathetically short. But you knew that. ;)

  5. Always Right in Lowell Says:

    I read that it was taped on Friday, only to be 30 minutes long including commercials and not to be televised until early Sunday morning at Kerry’s insistence in his pathetic way to not have to deign to acknowledge a challenger. What is he afraid of? I regret ever having voted for him.
