I'm in the process of compiling a comprehensive (or not so comprehensive Question

) list of supporters/contributors to the SVPT effort during the past historical year. I would appreciate any input from our informed forum members as to Bloggers/Pundits/Talking Heads/Media Personalities of note that stood out in your minds as being particularly supportive or effective in advancing the SVPT initiative. You can submit names only or (if you REALLY get into it) names with selective quotes or links to material that you found to be particularly noteworthy. Please exclude individual forum members from this list.

I'll start off with some notables that we're all probably aware of but please add (or suggest subtractions if need be) to the list as you see fit.

Please use the "quote" function to copy and add to the preceding post.

Thanks in advance for your observations.

Sean Hannity was very supportive and still is.

I agree with the above and would add Steve Gardner. He's not rich, famous or politically important, but he may have given more than anyone.

Blogger Dean Esmay did very good articles on Van Odell and George Elliott. Also, Michael Novak (National Review) was very supportive.

John Gibson on Fox. He was as supportive as Sean Hannity and more so than Bill O'Reilly.

I'd add Major Garrett of Fox News. He was always fair and did much of the reporting on the Swiftvets.

Radio: Michael Savage, "The Savage Nation," was pretty outspoken in favor of the SVPT.
