Awesom Robert! Let the games begin!

I look forward to Olbermann having to face Milbank in person at the conventions. It is one of the rare times KO leaves the security of the laughing stage hand and comes out from behind the anchor desk. My bet is he'll run the other direction if he sees DM.

When he worked outside in 2004 he looked unbelievably uncomfortable being so close to so many people. If we're lucky it will be NYC all over again, humid and 90+ degrees so we can watch him sweat under the pressure of the crowd noise and the weather. Ahh. . . good times.

No way, ktt. Olbermann only hears differing opinions when they are filtered through the blue blogs, otherwise his head would explode. I suspect KO will travel around the Republican convention in a plastic bubble, for his safety and the safety of the attendees.

Seriously, if Olbermann anchors the convention coverage, will the MSNBC higher-ups shield him from having to, you know, actually talk to one of those people (read Republicans) he mocks from the safety of his sock puppet stage?

I couldn't help but notice that the executive producer is *Katy* Karp.

So maybe Milbank is beginning to redeem himself. In my book, he's still not a hero. But maybe he's not the complete political hack I have always thought of him as.....

Another thought: Will Olbermann actually anchor convention coverage for the GOP? Surely they'll let Joe "my mancrush" Scarborough do much of that.
