She is talking about Republicans, in her view, being afraid to criticize Obama because he is so popular.
I understood it differently. She seemed to refer to the GOP as acknowledging Obama’s numbers and how McConnel et al are playing nicely. He got a pat on the head. That was nice.
I saw her remark about bloggers totally differently and contextually unrelated in that afer saying relatively nice things about the GOP-DC, she seemed to be making a pitch for them to assent to a “dialing-down” of the blogosphere. I can only assume that she is referring to the government at the dials.
Maybe not tho. Maybe she means Keith Olbermann
