Strange Things in Texas
On Thursday, John Edwards was down in the Houston area for two events. The one that was publicly known from a press release was that he would be at the Houston airport to implore that Continental Airline workers would be allowed to vote as they wished to unionize (or not) and for the company to stay out of it. Yet, there was not one news story about it.
The second event, was not made public until Joe C on the OAC blog announced that JRE had made good on his word, based on votes submitted to OAC in early August, to do a fundraiser for Nick Lampson. Lampson's site doesn't mention it at all. I wrote the Houston Democrats on their site to see if anyone had been there and to inquire why Lampson's folks didn't mention at all. My comment was clipped as I have a TypeKey account and most sites allow the comment to stand unless the language is profane or offensive. The only thing I could figure out is that my question didn't pertain to the particular thread topic.
BW readers, this is not good. No media coverage on either one. And Mr. Lampson, while I hope you win, your campaign staff should be thanking Senator Edwards on your site for doing you a favor. Shame on them and you for not publicizing this event when hundreds, if not thousands of people, voted for other candidates in the One America Committee Votes contest, and they didn't get theirs selected.

I still haven't found anything either. And I've been looking hard. =P
Was there a media blackout that we didn't know about?

Hi Texas 22,
Thanks for the information.
That would have been Lampson's choice, wouldn't it? Other fundraisers, except for Patty Wetterling, were announced ahead of time in the media, such as the one for Jim Webb today.
I think Lampson saw some potential negative press (as reported on Benny's World) and he was trying to be cautious.
