2. Yay Keith! He mentioned the "positive response" this morning on
the Today Show. Said he was surprised by it. I guess our contributions added to that response. So let's keep it up!

11. You may be right...MSNBC only has 450,000 viewers.
Although it was the YouTube vid that really spread it around. I e-mailed it to lots of people!

24. As did I, and more than once to KO/MSNBC.
FWIW, I thought that was the number of responses as well. He probably got more!

13. yes, the 800,000 were downloads, not emails
He thanked us for all the emails, etc., but if you go back and listen to what he actually said, the 800,000 referred to the number of viewings/downloads of the video.

12. Keith's new book on Amazon is going up in sales again.
It's up to number 49 (it was over 100 the last couple of days).
I ordered 2 copies on September 11.

14. He closed by saying W says "It's unacceptable to think. Even if you're...
...his former Secretary of State."

Oh, snap!

16. This is the 5th time I've watched this (bookmarked it), but it
gets me every time. One of the most beautiful, well-articulated one-two punches I have ever seen.

25. Just think...
Of the people who were moved by his speech, I estimate that at most only one in ten or twenty would have sent him mail. If he got 800k letters that means there's a big portion of the population who are in agreement with him. Add his book sales to that and I think there could be a sea change of public opinion as the media moguls realize that Limbaugh clones have had their day.

27. Count me as one of those e-mails
I have never been inspired to e-mail anyone before this speech. Let's hope this stays on the front burner for awhile!
