His election board, that is--what were you thinking about? CNN has its "Magic Wall," touch screen for election-data presentation, but Fox has "The Bill Board," named after Bill Hemmer.
"It's a living, breathing, walking, talking iPhone," Hemmer told The Austin American-Statesman. "It's 113 inches in diameter." By contrast, Diane Holloway reports, CNN's screen is just 81 inches. Size matters!
The reputation of conventions these days is that all the juice and life has been scripted out of the conventions. And that might be the case in Denver and St. Paul--although it might not. "Historically the campaigns will try and control the message as best they possibly can," Hemmer said. "The campaigns hope there won't be any surprises. Reporters, of course, hope there will be."
Well put. And that's the point about live events--you never know what's going to happen. I mean, you might think you know, but then you don't.
