1. Holy Crap.

KO posts on DK?? Whoa!

[crispini]

6. Wow, I had no idea either.

Has he stopped posting on his own blog?

[LynzM]

18. Looks like he just joined on Monday.

If you click his user-name, you can see he's only got two posts up. :) Still, that's freakin' awesome.

[Berry Cool]

19. He hasn't posted on his own blog (on MSNBC) in years.

It sort of died when he got too busy.

2. For those shy on detail, O'Donnell is pro-Obama and wrote a nasty piece about Edwards,

which I link to, here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lawrence-odonnell/john-edwards-is-a-loser_b_81045.html

10. Thanks for that link.

[neutron]

13. Abrams is better than KO

Abrams is big on facts.
KO has gotten gassy and full of himself, it's embarassing to watch.

[Berry Cool]

20. Oh, so now all of a sudden Abrams is a big hero

when only a few years ago he was doing nothing but crime stories, and KO's no good anymore.

People sure are fickle.

22. Since When Is The Screen Actors Guild A "Farm Team" Fer Pundits?

O'Donnel is incompetent and inappropriate. Who The Fu&K does he think that he is going on national TV and declaring who's in and who's out? This IS The Corporate Media at its best... It is either a coordinated effort or so out of control that any A-Hole can jump out and make ANY incendiary statement that they please and just go completely unchallenged... :wtf:

3. Good!

I'm sick of the bullshit regarding Edwards.

He's missing in action in the media, and everyone wonders why his poll numbers aren't higher. Hmmm...sure doesn't take much for me to figure that one out. In fact, the fact that he's doing as well as he is IN SPITE OF being ignored by the M$M says more about his message than anything.

[bdamomma]

4. ugh those stupid poll numbers

I heard Zogby this afternoon on C Span saying Edwards numbers are at 12% is that right in Nevada??? I do not believe these stupid polls.

[EFerrari]

5. I don't believe them either. n/t

[sb5697]

14. Nobody believes them until they say

their candidate is leading.

[EFerrari]

16. There was a poll this morning that showed Edwards tied with Obama

and another one that showed him in the low teens.

I'm too old to be so grossly manipulated.

No, I don't believe the polls, either the one that shows him in a tie with Obama or the one that shows him down by so much. I guess I'm a bad believer. :)

[AndyA]

7. I have friends in Las Vegas, and they say the buzz on the streets is Edwards.

Not Clinton.

Not Obama.

EDWARDS. You'd never believe it in the poll numbers, though. But, they have been wrong before. ;)

[chimpymustgo]

8. Make sure your friends take busloads to caucus with them for JRE!!!

Maybe with these awful poll numbers, we can at least "beat expectations". But I'm expecting a strong showing!

[bdamomma]

11. oh that is encouraging news.

[leftynyc]

15. Unfortunately, my friends in New Hampshire

said the exact same thing (they both voted for Edwards)

[judaspriestess]

21. I live in Vegas

and we went to the town hall meeting with John Edwards on Thursday morning. Lots of people there. I was pleasantly surprised because of all the crap you hear of him not even existing. WRONG. The video on the front page of him saying he would never use reagan as an example was at the town meeting I was at. Lots of Buzz :)

23. These ARE "Push" ... poll #'s Publicized to Actively DISSUADE Voters from Caucusing For Edwards...

The Acknowledged Enemy #1 of American Corporatists! :think:

[bleever]

9. Good. Hearing it last night,

I commented that Lawrence O'Donnell is on bad drugs if he thinks Reagan is non-controversial except with the fringe elements.

And the assertion that not a single negative thing was said about Reagan during his week-long funerary Gipperpalooza is just wrong. Most people mentioned his mixed legacy.

I didn't think KO could let this pass without some kind of follow-up.

[Helga Scow Stern]

12. My mom, hardly a fringe element at 89,

HATED Reagan. She credited him with ruining mental health care in California, among other things. She might have considered voting for Obama (if she was still able to, but dead people can't vote, except maybe in Florida), until she read his book or heard him speak in any tones remotely resembling anything but outright condemnation of the Gip and his pit of a legacy.

[LibDemAlways]

24. That was crazy. I couldn't believe the crap

O'Donnell was spewing, especially the part about Nevada caucus goers not being "sharp enough" to realize Reagan was anti-union. That was so insulting. KO must have been blindsided by it. I'm glad he decided to speak up tonight.

[EFerrari]

25. How did that go? I couldn't watchit.

Maybe someone will put up a clip.

[bluethruandthru]

17. Good!

I nearly lost it listening to Larry last night. What an ass! Does he really think Edwards supporters are the left fringe?
His piece of Kos is horrible.
