Gene Grant on the PBS NewsHour!

Did you see Gene Grant’s guest appearance last night on the NewsHour?  If not, not to worry, you can watch it right here:

Gene shared his opinions on the local economy as well as health care reform as part of a panel of reporter-types from various stations across the U.S. (Wisconsin, Florida and Pennsylvania). One of the many interesting things Gene touched on in this segment is the fact the Senator Jeff Bingaman told his recent town hall audience that he would be open to the idea of using reconciliation to push through health care reform. If you missed that quote, or any of the Monday Town Hall, you can always watch it here as well:

After the taping, we were talking about how the reconiliation issue seems to be fairly under-reported, and in Gene’s estimation Senator Bingaman was the first member of the “Gang of 6″ to say that tactic was a real possibility. We then went on to surmise that it would only be a matter of time before that angle gains more media attention, and, low and behold, this morning I see a post on the Huffington Post on this very topic. The article even includes a link to our own video of the event. Look for more outlets to pick up on this angle soon!

    I caught Gene Grant’s guest appearance on the NewsHour; it was a pleasant surprise. I like Gene’s style, his intelligent and articulate nature as well as a consistently demonstrated well-rounded and fair & balanced perspective. I was surprised to hear Mr. Grant saying on nationwide television that New Mexico’s unemployment rate “continues to hover around six percent,” or something to that effect, when in fact it’s closer to seven percent these days. 6.8% is the latest I’d heard

    To Gene–Row (as meaning fight or clash) rhymes with cow, not low.
    Great show and great interview with Gwen Ifill. I’m a super fan of yours, Gene, and the show. Thanks for all you do,

    I love Gene Grant. He makes me proud for New Meixco and proud to be an EX-Texan.
    You gotta wonder what people around the country think when they see our spokesperson – i.e. – let’s go check out that place.

    PS Good job Gene on the Alibi police brutality article. Spot on, amigo!
