There was a 5 minute spot about the "Democratic race" on Hardball (for example), and they talked only about Hillary and Obama, despite John beating Hillary the night before, and only when Chuck Todd mentioned John in the final 10 seconds did he get mentioned, and that was only to say that the Obama camp was hoping he'd hold on to make sure Hillary finished 3rd.

The 2nd 3rd and 4th place finishers (heck even the 5th!) in the GOP get mentioned all the time in the race, why is JOHN EDWARDS being ignored despited beating Hillary in Iowa and finishing 3rd with 40+ thousand votes and 17% (much more than the GOP candidates who got mentioned every hour but John didn't!). The amount of stories on the net I saw about him were TWO, and there were dozens about Hillary. This is not equal time for a candidate who beat her big money. Are you all being ordered to ignore him? Because, there are a bunch of people I personally know who are for Edwards and we're not in an Edwards group or organization. Yes, there are people I know who like Obama and Clinton, but John Edwards deserves equal time as long as he's in this race and could surge 5-8 points and make it a tie for 1st - therefore, his message should be heard - it was heard in Iowa only because he was there so much, he got hardly any press about New Hampshire.

Please make sure he gets at least a minute when you all give 5-10 minutes to the Clinton/Obama battle, that'd be great....
