TODAY'S SHOW: WEDNESDAY, MAY 7TH 2008
Did you go to bed last night thinking that Hillary would be endorsing Obama by early this morning and then experienced confusion when you woke up only to see her campaigning hard as ever in West Virginia? If so, it is not your fault. The media had all but pronounced her dead, D-E-D, DEAD. But as Rachel's been saying for weeks there is no primary that will push her to step down. Only the super delegates can push her out. So that is what Rachel will be talking about-- the super delegate math and political realities of having a Clinton in the race. In the first hour Rachel will talk to Rolling Stone contributor Matt Taibbi about his new book, The Great Derangement, and then David Bender will join Rachel in the third hour to talk about the media creations in this Democratic primary.

Keep on keepin' on
Rachel - it was great to see you on MSNBC last night as the "contrarian," bucking the received wisdom of the political sages, no matter from what quarter of the political spectrum - greater yet to see your instincts and insights borne out today.
Just as great to hear/see you back on R2TWH. I have no doubt that the day will come when you'll be able to completely control your media appearances, but for now I'm sure that you need to take every opportunity offered for air by MSNBC to get any air, and more down the road - and I'm thrilled to see you going after them all - and how much you make of every one. Congratulations - and keep bringin' it!
