Just a silly, but WTF are those MSNBC folks sitting in?

Liberty Plaza?

It looks as if they piled a couple of shipping containers on top of one another and dangled them over the edge of the skating rink at One Rock. All I can imagine is the wind whistling around the edges of those things, them creaking and swaying, and everyone smiling like mad for the cameras while they clutch the desk with their frozen little knees.

Sheesh, the sound you hear from over here is my only slightly hysterical laughter...

1. I think they're calling it "Democracy Plaza" or some such thing...

you want some Freedom Fries with that?

[librechik]

5. yup, Big Eddie was talking about it this morning

activities to take part in at Rockefeller Plaza vaguely election related.

[nolabear]

6. You're right, I got it wrong. "Democracy Plaza". The skating rink cracks me up too.

I'm not opposed to any of it, but it's odd.

2. Surely they are not really outside??? I thought it a big glass window.

[nolabear]

4. Oh it is a big glass window, but on a big precipitous box.

Thing just looks like they have to access it by ladder.

[Cleita]

3. It's a stage or press box for their show hosts and reporters. They build it every election

season, although it does seem a little precipitous. I hope Chris Matthews isn't acrophobic.

7. and they've painted a map on the ice skating rink, when a state is called

skaters are gonna paint it blue or red...

and banners are going to shoot up the side of 30 Rock a blue one and a red one to try to be the first to 270.

It's like a circus
