John Edwards all over the media today!

[noel711]

I've had either MSNBC or CNN on today (background 'noise' as I do my homework)
and I've seen more stories and reports about Edwards than I've seen in weeks.

Mostly positive, many with local supporters of all ages, races, genders.
Many with him directly.

I guess the MSM got the memo that we The PEople are ticked off that
he's been ignored. Or are they prepared for something?

Anyway, it's all good news!

1. That may be enough to upset the applecart in SC...

Let's hope so.

Real boats rock.

3. It's always good to see John on television.

He's funny, smart, inspirational, and he knows what he's talking about.

I'm glad he's finally getting some coverage. :thumbsup:

4. God Bless Him!

Hope it Works!
:kick:

5. The real trick isn't to get people to hear, it's to get them to listen.

And that makes all the difference. When people actually listen to John Edwards they learn to respect him, and loose their preconceived notions.

6. Recommended........You did it before.....

now do it again, John Edwards, BAG SOUTH CAROLINA!

[Beaverhausen]

7. He's even got a full hour on the Tyra Banks show

Can't hurt, right?

[LiberalHeart]

12. Yes, it has been a good day.

The tone of the coverage is changing, too.

Did anyone see Congressman Clyburn (D-SC) on with Wolf? He made a point of mentioning Edwards several times and repeatedly mentioned that there were 3 strong candidates, with an emphasis on the 3. He said he thought that there would still be 3 strong candidates after Saturday and that that was good. Wolf kept asking standard Obama-v-Clinton questions and Clyburn mentioned Edwards very positively in every response. It was very cool, especially since Clyburn has been one of the most coveted endorsements in South Carolina.

16. I saw that too -

and I thought I heard him say something about how the in-fighting is hurting the party - did you catch that? I was trying to get my kids ready to go out to eat and was a bit distracted.

[pamela]

17. I don't remember that part specifically...

but he has said that before so he very well may have said it today. I wasn't paying a lot of attention at first because it was sounding like a typical "Hillary or Obama?" interview. Then he started almost correcting Wolf, saying well there are THREE candidates and mentioning Edwards repeatedly. He told Wolf that he wasn't going to say who he was voting for and that he hadn't even told his wife. Then he said something like "I just hope that there are still three candidates in the race after Saturday." He said he thought Edwards was focusing on important issues and that he didn't like the way the media was trying make this a two-person race.

By the end of the interview, my husband and I both were like "Damn, that guy is so voting for Edwards." :-)

19. I was thinking that too -

13. Hurray!

:applause: :loveya: :bounce:

I so want FDR to be our president again. With the second Great Depression Coming up, we deserve a New Deal. If the corporate fat cats had their heads on straight, they would realize that someone like Edwards is their savior, too. If the middle class and working class of this country goes belly up, business in this country is going under as well, and we will all be owned by Kuwait and Asia once the smoke clears.

Eeks. Too many metaphors.

14. ...

:woohoo:

Maybe all those letters we've sent are starting to make a difference....is that possible? It will give me new hope in letter writing if it's true...

:woohoo:

15. Kick! nt

[BlackVelvet04]

20. His daughter was on

Access Hollywood (I think that's the name of the show.) It was a very good interview with her. She talked about how her brother dying affected the family and John was shown saying what an inspiration his daughter had been when his son died.

21. Remember all those e-mails? And phone calls?

You guys did this, and you should all be very proud of yourselves.

[BlackVelvet04]

22. I emailed quite a few. n/t

[asdjrocky]

23. Pat yourslef on the back, if I was there, I'd do it for you.

[liberalla]

24. I noticed! I'm so excited! It's about frickin time!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Onwards, Upwards, Edwards. 2008

[mnhtnbb]

25. Gotta' hope they're picking up the pulse of a turn towards Edwards and away from Clinton/Obama

by voters.

27. Edwards and CNN

I´m happy it may appear to some that the man´s getting a bit more coverage, but I´m still seeing a clear conspiracy on MSM´s part to keep him out of the picture. See the below from CNN that is on line today; you´ll note that at the bottom of the page their is no link for Edwards (but there's one for Bill...):

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/26/sc.primary/


And, for what it´s worth, here´s what I sent CNN after seeing this:

"I love the way CNN is doing it’s best to keep John Edwards out of the discussion. You should be absolutely ashamed of the unbelievably transparent way you have only covered the messages and campaigns of Clinton and Obama (as weak as they really are). Today’s article on the SC primary was particularly telling: at the bottom of the page, even though Edwards was mentioned in the article (and, yes, he IS in the race...), you had links for, "All about...Clinton, Obama, BILL Clinton (???),and South Carolina", but no link for Edwards. Come on! And I also have to say that Monday’s debate also clearly demonstrated how much CNN was at pains to ensure that Obama got the most face time. His answers were typically 3 minutes long, when the rule mandated 1 minute, and he was allowed to get by with it by your stooge, Wolf Blitzer. I never had much regard for Blitzer as a personality or news person, but that debate showed more than ever how bad he is when he’s not scripted. Man, he sure was lousy at controlling the unfocused ramblings of Clinton and Obama, and he and Malvo (or however you spell her name - who cares?) sure ignored Edwards or re-framed questions posed to the other 2 before he had a chance to respond. CNN is really poor and I’ll get my news from Al Jazeera (much better reporting anyway), or ANYWHERE else from now on. Shame on you!"

I hope Edwards blows the media pundits outta the water in today's primary. They were wrong about NH. I gotta felling they´re wrong about SC even though they´re hedging their bets.
