….And to New Hampshire on Primary Day.
Audio highlights from inside actual Iowa Caucuses give listeners across America rare exposure to grassroots politics
SIRIUS Left host Alex Bennett talks to everyday voters at legendary Red Arrow Diner in New Hampshire
NEW YORK – December 26, 2007 – SIRIUS Satellite Radio today announced that SIRIUS Left host Alex Bennett will broadcast from the 2008 Iowa Caucuses and the 2008 New Hampshire primary, delivering breaking election news, voter reaction, and analysis straight from the center of two of the nation’s biggest political events.
The Alex Bennett Program, which airs Monday – Friday from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm ET exclusively on SIRIUS Left channel 146, will be at the heart of the Iowa and New Hampshire political action.
In Iowa, Bennett will take listeners across America “inside” two actual Iowa Caucuses, bringing a firsthand account of the debate, discussion, and procedure by which America’s first political choices are made for the 2008 presidential campaign. Bennett will share Caucus results and all the late breaking news from politically influential Iowa on January 3rd and January 4th.
In New Hampshire on primary day, January 8th, and the morning after, January 9th, Bennett will broadcast his show live from the iconic Red Arrow Diner in Manchester. The Red Arrow Diner has become a focal point for many presidential candidates to visit during their campaign stops. Inside the diner Bennett will talk with “everyday Americans” and gauge their interest, passion, and opinions on the ever-important New Hampshire Presidential primary.

The Iowa coverage is embarrassingly bad and Alex Bennett is again proving his incredible incompetence. The show could only have been worse if they had sent Lynn Samuels. Are these type of "hosts" really even qualified to be on the air? Bennett and Samuels are so arrogantly negative and appallingly ignorant that Sirius should be ashamed...

Not to be petty, but really, why does it take so long to set up remote coverage? Thom Hartmann does it all the time and doesn't seem to have a problem with it...Even Ed Schultz can move to a new location without a gap. But good old "experienced" Alex Bennett needs four or five days to "set up" and then spends the rest of the time whining about how "exhausted" and "sick" he is. Also, it might be a good idea to actually prep a bit on the issues...
