Margaritas, strangers and politics talk

What happens when two pairs of strangers share a table for Mexican fare, and a journalist starts asking them questions about the DNC? Tanya Milligan and Ami Cusack had joined Sheridan Samano and Liz Weber (left to right) because they had open seats at their table. The women, all from the Denver area, began answering my question about their expectations of Obama and then took off from there – as if they were old friends.

Obama has not made any new promises that hundreds of other politicians haven't already made and McCain is no different... the biggest problem voters now have is which of the lesser of the two evils too choose from!

Is this made up news!?  The Ami Cusack here is the same Ami Cusack from two seasons of Survivor on CBS!  Did MSNBC just 'happen upon her drinking margaritas in Denver during the DNC' or is there something fishy going on here!? Very interesting.  Anyway, I thought MSNBC's coverage of the DNC was very liberally slanted and it's a shame.  I used to enjoy the network but really can't stand it much lately, especially the big mouth Olberman.  He should have stayed at ESPN where at least the writing makes you sound like you know what you are talking about.
