A few notes on upcoming television shows of interest. Newly elected Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district, Jason Altmire, was on PCN's Call-In Show yesterday, replayed this morning and currently on their website, www.pcntv.com. I watched the tape of it tonight and hope to post notes in the next few days.
On Monday, December 4th, 7 p.m., Joe Sestak, Congressman-elect from Pennsylvania's 7th district will be on the Call-In Show, no doubt to be replayed at least one other time and hopefully to be make available on the web also. Presumably we can expect more newly elected officials to make a showing as well.
On December 12th, at 9 p.m. the Discovery Channel will be playing a documentary called "Taking the Hill," which tracks the congressional campaigns of five veterans, including Pennsylvania's Patrick Murphy.
UPDATE: I'm told it is the Discover Times Channel not the regular Discovery Channel. When did life get so complicated?

Saw the PCN call-in with Altmire. I thought he generally handled himself and the callers well. But whoever did
his TV make-up did a bad job because he looked awful, IMHO.
You could tell he wasn't used to being on tv. At the beginning his eyes were darting all over trying to figure out where to look. I agree that he handled himself and the callers (some of whom are a tad strange) well, had his answers ready, spoke smoothly, all those good things. I also had the feeling he spoke from both his head and his heart, not in sound bites, but saying what he really thought. It's kind of refreshing to see someone do that, and you usually only see it at the start. Once they get that spray on polish you might as well put a cardboard cut out or a Ken doll in the chair, for all the sincerity and spontaneity you're going to see. Not that I'm cynical or anything....
Altmire handled that one caller, who gave him a totally off-the-wall, goofy
proposal about something, with aplomb by saying he'd never heard anything like that before but he'd have to study it.
plshark, thanks for the correction. I've updated the post and will post a reminder closer to the time. First, I have to scan through the list of channels on my tv to see if I can watch!!
Crud now I have to see if DirecTV has Discovery Times
