Interview with Craig Crawford online
http://basie.blogspot.com/2005/09/my-interview-with-cqmsnbc-pundit-craig.html

Read it, it's good. Just a snip:

Singer: Just a final question. Looking at the House, although redistricting has certainly made House elections less competitive within even the last handful of years, do you see more potential for volatility in the House than in the Senate in 2006?

Crawford: I do. I think there is a possibility of a tidewater effect from Katrina, actually. I sense that the administration’s handling of Katrina has connected in people’s minds to the overall Republican image as above it all and not in the game for the average people. And if Democrats can successfully make that stick and hold and last, I think we might get some surprises in closer House races and maybe a few that aren’t close.

1. He's great ! I just got his book
"Attack the Messenger" and looks like a good read!

From inside the jacket:

"If the press is not believed - or believable - because the politicians have turned the public against it, then the press is not free, but under the thumbs of politicians. Without a free press, there is no democracy. If you don't like the news, attack the messenger, and it will go away. Going, going, gone."

Keith is mentioned on page 24, 132....thanks index :)..."With a sharp wit and a dead-on alarm system for outing propaganda, Olbermann is funny and illuminating. In some ways, he runs the reality version of Jon Stewart's fake show on Comedy Central"
