Subject: An open letter to Dan Abrams

I want the Democratic nomination contest to continue. I like to see Chelsea Clinton on the campaign trail NOT answering questions that are none of your business! :p

Seriously, Dan, I’m not sure if you have any say-so over the other TV shows at MSNBC, but you need to speak to a couple of your colleagues – their favoritism is hanging out! :p

No, I’m not talking about their ‘pro-Obama’ stance – which is annoying. During coverage of Hillary Clinton’s win in ‘bitter’ West Virginia, they showed Obama flapping in Missouri. Why are the voters of West Virginia less important than the voters in Missouri who have already voted? Is that a good message for the Obama campaign?

Rather, I’m talking about their ‘anti-Clinton’ stance.

The other night, Chris Matthews began his show with “The mystery of Hillary Clinton. What‘s she thinking? What‘s she doing? What‘s she planning? What does she want?” Good Lord. Ya’d think she was pure Evil. Where are the same questions about John Edwards?

And, Dan, did you see Keith Olbermann’s ambush interview of Clinton? His elaborate build-up to the question about Scaife left no reasonable answer available. In fact, I had to turn to Faux News and Bill O’Reilly for a fair and balanced interview of Clinton. Faux News! [rolleyes]

How can two guys who are so good on war be so, uh, so undemocratic concerning the Democratic Party? Let all the ‘bitter’ votes count. Their constant whining that it’s over, that West Virginia doesn’t matter, their snide comments, their rude jokes – all reflect badly on themselves and Obama.

At the end of the day, ‘the math’ shows that Obama cannot secure the nomination with pledged delegates and that the popular vote is still very much in doubt. Is Chris Matthews prepared for the Democratic Party to make Clinton “the Al Gore of ’08” and steal this election?
