Meghan McCain, MSNBC's newly hired contributor, conducted her first interview for the cable news network on Wednesday with Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.
McCain--who in January called Bachmann "a poor man's Sarah Palin" on MSNBC--said that the interview will air "soon" on "Now With Alex Wagner," the network's lunch hour show.
On Lawrence O'Donnell's "Last Word" in January, McCain took vigorous issue with Bachmann's tea-party rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union. "I think it's important to note that Michele Bachmann is not a leader, and she's not the leader of the Repbulican Party," McCain said. "Michele Bachmann is no better than a poor man's Sarah Palin.

What “elites” try to change the primary schedule?? If anything, the “elites”, i.e. the powers-that-be at the RNC do NOT want any of the changes being made now. It’s the state legislatures in places like Iowa, NH, Florida, Nevada, etc etc that want to move their primaries/caucuses up because their states get more attention, and therefore more campaign dollars and publicity.
Even if these so-called “elites” don’t particularly care for people like Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, etc......just how many votes do they have in the primary states? NONE. You’re assertion is that the base hates the elites, and vice versa. But at the same time, these elites somehow brainwash the base into voting for whomever they want them to in their respective primaries??? C’mon pal. I was born at night, but not last night.
