Olbermann to Host AFL-CIO Working Families

[mopinko]

Vote Presidential Forum



Keith Olbermann, whose biting, pull-no-punches commentaries on MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” have been known to spike the blood pressure of their targets—ask Fox News’ belligerent right-winger Bill O’Reilly—will moderate the AFL-CIO Presidential Candidates Forum in Chicago on Aug. 7. The forum, with the seven leading Democratic candidates, will be broadcast live from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. CDT (7 p.m.-8:30 p.m. EDT) on MSNBC and XM Satellite Radio.

Olbermann, whose journalism credentials include several Emmys and an Edward R. Murrow Award for his coverage of the events and aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks, says he is “honored” for the

…opportunity to question the leading Democratic presidential candidates about the key issues of this race. This is a critical time in our nation’s history and I look forward to helping our viewers better understand where each of the candidates stand on the issues.

i may be attending this forum, maybe. i can get a ticket, as my alderman is happy to be "a tool of labor", something that he was bashed for in the last election by a guy who called himself "the true progressive democrat" in the non-partisan race. :rofl:

i recommend you visit the website and vote on the questions. there are some pretty great ones.
