All three broadcast anchors, CBS' Katie Couric, ABC's Charlie Gibson and NBC's Brian Williams, made it from New Orleans to St. Paul today to switch gears and provide coverage of the Republican convention. But there was one famous commentator missing. Keith Olbermann decided to play it safe and stay in New York. Olbermann is co-anchoring from MSNBC studios in New York while Chris Matthews is in St. Paul.
An MSNBC spokesperson told TVNewser, "Since the next hurricane may hit on Thursday night, Keith will remain in New York. But, he'll co-anchor with Chris who will be on our Rice Park set."
It's pretty obvious that Olbermann didn't feel like going to Minnesota and be surrounded by so many Republicans. It's tough being in hostile territory. Quite the contrast to other conservative commentators, say Bill O'Reilly, who attended the Democrat convention in Denver.

Olbermann wants to make himself look alot more important that he really is. Check the ratings out on MSNBC, they probably decided that it was not profitable to move people and equipment out there to broadcast a live show no one will watch. Blow Hard!
