Is it happening? Dare I say it?
Is the media finally breaking down and giving John Edwards some of the exposure he deserves?

- Last night, he was on Letterman.

- This evening, he was on with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC and with John Roberts on CNN. Roberts asked him to come back before the South Carolina vote.

- He's on Tyra Banks' show Friday.

Plus, it might just be my imagination, but it seems I see his face on the news more, and the talking heads seem to be mentioning him more.

Newspaper editorials about him seem to be picking up.

Is it my imagination, or is coverage increasing?

1. I think it has increased since the South Carolina smackdown between
Clinton and Obama.

:bounce: :bounce:

6. I think you're right.
The bickering was distasteful to me at least. There might be quite a few people out there in Voterland who thought so too.

2. Shhhhhhh.... don't tempt the fates--!! Of course, Edwards should have had tons of
attention --- and, of late, we find that he's not only intelligent and good for America, but he's wonderfully humorous and ----- sexy!!!

Saw him on Olbermann tonight ---
and loved the Letterman show ---

3. Agree. He does seem to have a bit more welcome on some of the
programs.

Now we have to work on some of the hardcore newzies.

5. What I am hoping for Andy...
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 11:08 PM by lisainmilo
I say a small prayer every night as well! I hope more people will come to realize he really is the right man for the times. He is what we need right now...A man that TALKS presidental.....that ACTS presidential........and he LOOKS presidential ( my husband heard a caller on NPR describe John Edwards this way....this morning :) )

I am hoping he rises out of the ashes of the Obama/Clinton slug fest!

7. Yes, I think so, too. The hubby and I have both noticed this.
Let's hope it continues! This is what we've been needing. Once people see and hear him, he connects.

9. I agree!
And how can WE work to get him on more national TV programs? The Letterman thing was GREAT. Showed a playful and human side that we need revealed more.
