Sound Politics: Connelly in Nevada

Connelly in Nevada

In the era of dwindling newsroom budgets, the P-I has again stepped up to the plate by sending Joel Connelly to cover the Democratic caucuses in Nevada. We have our disagreements with Connelly here at Sound Politics, but I applaud the P-I's commitment to covering the Presidential race.

1. It's all horse race, all the time. Connelly would do the P-I better in Seattle, doing character assassinations of local Republicans.

3. It would only be newsworthy if they had sent him with a one-way ticket.

4. Any chance Joel decides to just stay there?

5. It would have been cheaper to have Wayne Newton text message updates to Joel.

6. A tip for Joel --- the Horseshoe comps a great porterhouse!

7. Eric,

Who the hell cares what Connelly is doing. Are you his puppy dog or something? Really Eric, your obsession with him is unnatural.

8. pbj -

By the same token, one could argue your upset with my postings is unnatural. I'm simply commenting on the P-I actually spending money on political coverage, which is becoming an increasingly rare phenomena in modern journalism. It could be another reporter besides Connelly for all I care.

9. Eric & pbj,

It matters little who Pravda-Izvestia (P-I) send to Nevada, as no one reads the rag anyway.
