Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Jim - Thanks for the seed.  We are one of those who don't have cable or satellite - just the old antenna on the roof - so this gave us a chance to see another great piece which KO does so well.

thanks for the seed Jim, I sometimes see these shows but generally come home and try not to act like the 57 years old with a family smile on my face. Keith is good eh? Palin is just that a bundle of jokes waiting to get sprung, amazing how many folks would rather vote the face instead of brain.

I generally don't like to watch Olbermann, if I'm going to take in a smug, sarcastic, self-absorbed pundit, I generally prefer to torture myself with someone who i disagree with, but having watched this (and despite the fact that he's as smug and sarcastic as ever) I can't find fault with much of anything he says.

My cable company doesn't carry MSNBC, so I'm glad this is here.  Keith may be over the top, but I agree with him all the way.

I love Keith's sense of outrage: a combination of indignation, sarcasm and disgust. But his statement that McCain, Palin and Annie Polk are in a crucible of events beyond their control, says it all for me. Somehow, behind the scenes, are there Greater Powers At Work? I don't know, but thankfully there are people out there like Keith to keep the playing field somewhat level and pertinent for those of us on the sidelines.

Yes there are and you've come to just the right place to meet them!  Follow the authors who add comments, seeds and articles that inspire you to question and learn; before you know it the Greater Powers will start looking like Oz and after that, it's the fraud of the wizard! :~)

With so much horrid news about the McCain/Palin campaign stirring up racism and hatred, this commentary of Olbermann's is such a breath of fresh air.  Hopefully Keith's words will help to muzzle the rabid pit-bull Palin that McCain has set loose on reason, dignity, and the truth.Thank you, Jim!

All Keith Olbermann does, and has ever done, is speak common sense...funny how common sense is often construed by the right as wacko liberal commentary.

Dear Keith,

I think I love you! Once again, you've hit the nail on the head, multiple times. I keep thinking of the verse in the Bible, New Testament, from Jesus that says (and I'm paraphrasing here), "And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?"

Sarah, to put that into terms even you can understand, that means hockey moms that live in glass houses should not throw stones....get it?

WATCH THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!

It not only accentuates what a creepy little man McCain is, I mean let's face it folks, even if he is not mouthing the words it has his blessing.

Additionally, it magnifies the level of stupidity of Sarah Palin.  She make Dan Quayle look like a choir boy.  It is interesting to see a man's true character emerge when he is under stress.

We don't need the McCain personality in the oval office.  He just doesn't have the gear for the job.

Olbermann absolutely hit the nail on the head on this one.

 This is why Olbermann is the man...
