Facing two $100 million candidate, Edwards is only 7 delegates behind. Heavily outspent and out mediaed, he is right in the fight. On Friday, January 18th, please consider making an online contribution to the John Edwards Campaign. The goal is to raise $7,000,000 in one day. The media will notice. Go to the www.JohnEdwards.com website and send in a small or whatever amount donation.

There's been a lot of talk in these parts about how the media is shutting John Edwards out of the race. He has been excluded from polling. His campaign events have not been covered. Other candidates with less to show for themselves receive more attention. Etc.....
All of the these things are true. And all of the solutions I've seen have merit. We definitely need to put pressure on the media to cover this election fairly. But the media is probably not going to alter course and suddenly exhibit a journalistic integrity that they haven't even thought about since their freshman year of college. They need to be given a reason to change course; a reason that fits their definition of news. So either Edwards could engage in a high speed police chase with Britney's kids on his lap and a missing white girl in the trunk, or he could raise $7 million dollars in one day.
