Today's Lunch is about something we haven't talked about in a while: THE MONEY! Does Obama's September total really put him that much further ahead, and who's spending money on the McCain campaign? ALSO: Do you shop like Sarah Palin?
With guest host James Kotecki (Politico), Rob reviews ten lessons learned while covering the conventions. Special guests also include Sarah Scully and Will Rabbe (IFC), Cynthia Kopkowski (NEA.org) and Marta Costello (Gnooze.com).
Sarah Palin rocks the GOP with her all-American mom speech, but doesn't hesitate to go after Obama and show us why they call her "barracuda" back home. Rob looks at her greatest (sharpest) hits, and talks briefly with Cynthia Kopkowski from the National Education Association talking about the NEA and the blogger experience at the conventions.
Today on Political Lunch, Rob reviews the Bush, Thompson and Lieberman speeches (guess who won the prize for most divisive...), plus more tear gas hits the press and Ron Paul rallies his troops across the river with Jesse Ventura.
