I've enjoyed Dan's show. Is he still going to be on?
That said, way to go, Rachel. I know I'll look forward to your show as much as I do Keith's.
Congrats!

Hey Rachel,
We just knew when we spotted Michael Musto eating lunch in an outdoor cafe on Monday that it was a good omen...
though Countdown will have a hard time finding a substitute host that could do a better job than you have done.
Good luck and best wishes -- from your (and Keith's) dedicated fans downtown! Muzz & Zeke

Congratulations, Rachel! The first time I saw you sit in for Keith I thought: "Give that woman her own show!" Glad to know great minds think alike. LOL! If you need a band/audience but are low on cash, I'll volunteer to move to NY and kazoo you to commercial as well as laugh, applaud and give shout-outs at the appropriate times...

Keith,
I don't know if you had anything to do with Rachel getting her own time slot with msnbc, but if you did I want to personally thank you once again for having your usual brilliant insight. What a great addition to the reporting community.
God Bless America, there is truly still hope.

Maddow has become a solid anchor. I liked Dan's show, and will miss it. But it seems as if everything is on good terms, which is the main thing. Maddow will do great, though.

Yah! We love Rachel! We had XM radio for a while almost exclusively so we could listen to her.

We have loved her since the launch of Air America. She was such a powerhouse on the original morning show with Chuck D, and someone else whose name is escaping me.

This will be a must watch along with Countdown!

MSNBC, you just doubled the amount of time my family will watch your network.

Keith, Please, if you would, discuss why Rick Warren ,a pastor,would find it important to ask the candidates to define "rich",and to give an income number? and then when he was on Larry King , Pastor Warren said that there wasn't enough time during his forum to discuss "poverty"!?!

How about "Maddow Knows"? (You know, a play on "The Shadow Knows"?) Just a thought.

Will enjoy seeing Rachel's world view nightly and like her idea of all things political backed up by a live band. A suggestion for her new show's name: "The Beat Goes On with Rachel Maddow."

Kevin in New York, New York — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:53:47 GMT

Keith:

You were of mixed minds last night, feeling good about Rachel Maddow's signing but fretting that you will have to find a new guest host.

Might I suggest Richard Wolffe? He would be a fascinating fill-in, when needed, over the next few months, and once David Gregory's "Race To The White House" dies a merciful death on election day, Richard could slip into that slot right away.
