Rachel, please take a few minutes to honor Del. We wouldn't be where we are today without her and the other strong legends of our herstory.

Thanks! I love you and love to see you on the TV machine. A friend who didn't know who you were said you glowing on your panel and such a breath of fresh air!

Most US media handle Georgia in a complete wrong way. A way which in Western Europe doesn't have
support. In this case Obama or McCain the difference is not very big. Richard Hollbrokek - a cold war warrior
of magnitude proportion belive that he's failed Kosovo strategie may work in Georgia.

It doesn't and it won't. Georgia is not important enough for Western Europe. It's since early 18th Century
Russian. The best for them would be a State with a declared neutrality like Finland or Switzerland.
NATO membership is a no GO.

Please ask John McCain and Obama where Western Europe should get the Oil and Gaz delievery.
They should really re-think their position.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE BASHING OF WAR HERO AND NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN,,,DO THE PATRIOTIC AMERICAN THING AND SAY THANK YOU SEN. JOHN MCCAIN FOR DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY,, ALSO WE DON'T NEED YOUR VOTE BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD VOTE FOR A QUALIFIED CANDIDATE THOUGH... LET IT RAIN MCCAIN !!! CLINTON 2012 !!!!

GET OVER THE CAPS U FAG !!!!!! YOUR MOMMA SAYS HELLO !!!

Listening to the voting live with Rachel. It's like going to the show with a good friend. And it's so cool we got to hear the Hillary motion live with Rachel!

Woot!

Rachel,

As the tv cameras panned the floor of the DNC, I'm quite sure I just saw historian (and Columbia professor) Simon Schama.

Go find him and interview him.

If it doesn't fit in with your plans this week, at least make his acquaintance and consider having him on your shows in the future. He's very engaging (for a historian) and insightful.

Cool to see your live broadcast, and especially to hear what you hear in your ear. Thanks for the peek.

I also like 2 show names that have been suggested by others: "Nightcap" or "Progress Report". The worry with Nightcap is if they ever moved up your timeslot.

I am not sure that I like your commitment to MSNBC. I hope you are not having to adhere to their guidelines and talking points. Can you even see or hear what is going on? While Pat was ranting and telling you how Kerry's speech wasn't strong enough, nobody was going against McCain, etc etc I was watching C SPAN and all the "unimportant for MSNBC" military speakers were talking anti torture, pro vet's benefits, anti Osama etc. I am sick of Pat in his made up reality talking about things that are not true trying to sway the sheeple to his point of view. Sorry Rachel I have to change it back to the Span!

To Dr. Maddow and my fellow TRMS compatriots,

The S.O. and I will be visiting San Francisco this weekend, and it is my sole desire to go to The Alembic and order a cocktail from the illustrious Josey Packard. Is there a drink for which that either she or the rest of The Alembic's crew is known? (If it helps, my drink of choice is a gin gibson.)

Thanks much!

yet?

He still exists, so I suspect not....

Joe has been given a free-pass since the day he showed up at his Congressional Office and abruptly quit, without ever explaining his actions to the constituents who voted for him to do a job they trusted he would carry out. I know that "good-old-boy" system works; and I know that behind every "attitude-case" is a similar story. But the next time he uses his "experience" as an elected official as a shield to protect himself from a poorly thought-out statement, he should be asked about his entire "experience" in Congress, that would include his last day. Joe has nothing to be proud of, including his silence on Lori Klausitis's body that was fouind in his Congressional office.

GET OVER IT YOU OBAMA NUTZ AND AGREE TO DIS AGREE !!!! MY THOGHTS ARE IT WILL RAIN MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER MY FRIENDS !!!!!

I USE CAPS FOR CONVENIECE DUDE ( I AM A NOVICE WITH THE KEY BOARDS ) DO YOU ACTUALLY HOLD YOUR HANDS OVER YOUR EARS WHEN U SEE CAPS ,, DUDE GET A LIFE, LET IT RAIN MCCAIN !!!!

Rachel-
My word, is it just great to be you right about now? I've been listening to and learning from you since the first minutes of Air America and now to watch you blooming out onto a national stage....Oh,my God, they're actually LISTENING to you out there in the void...and YOU, stuck next to comb-over there on the Democratic convention coverage....priceless.
I can't think of anybody who deserves this success more,and we all have to be grateful, as Americans, for your presence on the national news front lifting the quality of discourse....Go,Rachel,go...

I know this is sheer gossip, but Google has been buzzing all weekend. Someone sent me an email and to me to go to Google and type, "Is Trig Sarah's baby?". I did and DOZENS of replies popped up...pages and pages written by Gov. Palin's Alaskan constituents. Apparently, the GOP did very little vetting on the governor while the Alaskans did a lot of "venting".

Here's another tidbit on another story: Since I live in Broward, can't get the vote right, County, Florida. We had a primary election this past Tuesday to try out our new multi-million dollar voting machines. When I showed them my ID, I was given a long sheet of paper inside a folder and was instructed to mark my ballot with a graphite pencil inside an oval next to the person I was voting for. I was warned by an official that if I didn't stay inside the lines of the oval, my vote wouldn't count. The booths were dark and I had to remove the ballot each time to see where the oval was. THEN we stuck this long sheet into a 'counter' and left. (no paper trail at all). I tuned in the 11PM local news to see the results only to hear that there were problems with the new machines. Since the 'workers' had been up since 4:30 am, they asked to go home and sleep until 8:30 am and come back since the 'counting' machines were not tallying the totals. When 8:30am arrived, most of the workers called in to ask if they could wait until noon. Permission was given. However all the precincts with the faulty counters had to be hand counted one by one oval after oval. By 7:00pm, there were still no results. We had an 11% turnout. If this had been the Presidential election...it would've been another trip to the Washington Supreme Court. The end of the second evening. Most of the results were in and counted. BUT...get ready...the news said that we'd be using these same new machines come November 4th. So I guess McCain will be elected by five Supreme Court justices. I thought I'd warn you in advance.
I can't wait for your new show!!!
