“If we’re being objective, she probably puts Chris Matthews to shame.”
Somehow, I missed that first sentence. No, I don’t think she has a “tingle” and she pressed her pretty hard in some of the early interviews, if you saw them. Sometimes VERY hard, especially in the campaign. I agree she has probably become intrigued (who wouldn’t?) and is glad to have access, but Chrissy-like? No, I don’t think so. Plus, there is a “there” there, unlike the Zero, in whom you could become interested.
I agree she’d never be as over the top on the air as he is.
I just meant on a personal level she’s probably much closer than he is. I just meant I can see the two of them hanging out and doing something just because they’d enjoy each other’s company as friends(which they seem to already have done). I can’t ever see Obama if say he had lost in 2008 or if he loses in 2012 saying “Hey, Chris, why don’t you bring your wife over to the house and we’ll cook up some steaks and shoot the breeze”.
But then again, Gov Palin seems to be more friendly in general than Obama. He comes off as a bit of a cold fish. Notice how we never hear about any “Friends of Barack”. Remember how many “Friends of Bill” there were? Even during the campaign in 2007/2008, you never really saw anything about people the Obamas just hung out with or did stuff with(well, other than Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn I guess). Even people who don’t particularly care for her say she’s fun to be around and engaging. Good with people.
Greta does feature women on her show a lot. Dems, too, rare for FOX. She’s had Hillary Clinton on a few times. Rep Giffords from AZ has been on a bunch. She’s had Gov Brewer on a bunch. She also has folks like Gingrich, Bolton, Thune, Santorum, and Kyl on a bunch. But there does seem to be something extra with her and Gov Palin. Maybe it’s Todd, she seems to have a little spring in her step when he’s around.(mostly kidding with that one).
Can you imagine On The Record if Palin actually becomes President? I think they might just do the show live from the Blue Room.
