Here's an e-mail I just sent to Rachel Maddow who apparently thinks that JEDNE


Dear Rachel,

I love your show and I listen every day, but I have to say that I'm disappointed to see that you seem to be participating in the corporate media's John Edwards blackout. I found it very discouraging that, when Gov. Granholm referred to the TWO Democratic candidates, you didn't remind her that John Edwards is still very much in the race. I hope that this was merely an oversight and that you will continue to give the three Democratic frontrunners equal coverage on your show.

Sincerely,

3. VERY fine letter! I like Rachel, and am disappointed she's playing the same game.
..sigh...

Thanks for stepping out on this!

Do you want to post an addy so others can pile on?

5. Thanks... now, some other info, pleeeez....
I started writing a message, then thought what I'd like to include is the number of delegates each has received, as that is very close, if I remember correctly.

I don't find it with a search.

Do you happen to have that handy?

6. Obama has 25, Clinton 24, and I think Edwards has 18 or 19.

"I'm very disappointed that you seem to be on the bandwagon to ignore Edwards in the Dem race for president.

Given that so far Obama has 25 delegates, Clinton 24, and Edwards has 19, and the required number is over 2,000, I believe, this race is far from over.

You have done an excellent job on AAR, and I look forward to seeing you always on Olbermann, but please..... don't force-fed us our candidates!"

9. Wellllll, I didn't hear it.... but, I take your word for it. ~~chortle~~
We can't all hear *everything*, and I've seen enough of your posts to be able to take your word, so it's time to get a short message out.

Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention!
